Red and white Daytonas in burger king commercial, ext. version, (Pics)

[SeattleCharger]

  Just saw the extended version of the burger king Nascar commercial.  They had to stick the chicken on the end of a pole in the old days and pass it through the window to the driver when he was going through the pits.  heh Great commercial.  Red Superbirds with white tails and roofs, anyone know the history of these cars?

Is this a commercial with old car footage................or a recently filmed commercial?

Never seen those cars before.

  Its a long commercial, shows shots of old day footage looks like, then a couple spoof shots with maybe a digital special effects chicken on a pole put onto old footage, then shots of nineties, when they hand the guy a chicken sandwich, the sandwich blows apart in his face, then they show a big actual car crash from real footage.    Its mixed up of real and made for commercial shots.   Has short interviews with retired drivers and pit crew,  realistic spoof commercial.  Anyways, as far as I can tell, the Superbird footage looks like actual old footage.     The commercial has played a couple times today on Comedy Central, during the daytime rerun of the daily show, and during mad tv.

Not very clear footage, but they look like daytonas to me.   I think some of the dodge teams had those paint schemes, like maybe Bobby Isaac?   Someone in the Aero section could tell you more...

Cool.  oops, ok, Daytonas.  I will change the title, thanks.  Ya, that picture you found looks like the one.  Just saw the commercial again, shows history, first they put whole chickens on a pole, then the drumstick was used and handed through window, but the grease got on the steering wheels, and they show a huge crash, then the chicken burger that flies apart into the guy's face and causes another crash up.  Seems to be they have a few versions of it, long, medium, and short.  Hope you all catch the long version sometime, that's the one with the Daytonas in it.

Looks to me like the Daytona (and they are Daytonas) that is already in the pits is the #6 Buddy Baker car.  Red with black top and a yellow wing.  The one pulling into the pit stall is almost certainly Bobby Isaac's #71, as RT Dave already pointed out.

I haven't seen the long version of the commercial yet, but it sounds funny.  Maybe Burger King hired a decent advertising agency and fired its last one...
