Delish in the dish.

First of all, all the interviews I've read for this movie has been with the actors in character. Second of all, NASCAR.com is pretty much treating Ricky Bobby like a real driver. He has all the merchandise a real NASCAR driver would have, including such things as watches and die-cast cars. Heck, go up to where it says Drivers & Series. He's not in the Other Drivers section, he's actually in the Nextel Cup Series Drivers section. I don't think I've ever seen marketing like this before.

I read an article with Will Ferrell.  NASCAR endorsed this movie more than any other racing movie.  Kind of strange.  Actually, I'm getting a little sick and tired of the constant Ricky Bobby references every week.  The Brickyard is going to be the ultimate since the film opens next weekend.  Thank goodness we are listening to it on the way home and not watching it on TV.  BTW - if you do watch it with G&G, you'll have to explain every single commercial to Grandma.  She doesn't get any of them.
