I love Jeff Gordon

[Moderator1]

I needed a laugh tonight. I got one

 

[wicked]

That was awesome.

 

[Riptide]

Now that's what pranks are all about.

Also, the salesman had a massive heart attack later that night. :

 

[Versatile]

Why do we believe this was genuine?

It seemed very fake to me.

 

[Riptide]

One commenter said he recognized the salesman as an actor.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

It's fake but still funny.

One commenter said he recognized the salesman as an actor.

So it's not what pranks are about.

**** that midget.

 

[cranberry]

It's fake but still funny.

Yeah, it lost a little when you realize it's not a true prank but it was still entertaining.

 

[TigerVols]

Totally fake and I'd lay dollars-to-donuts Gordon wasn't doing 90 percent of the driving -- especially across the loading dock.

Fun nonetheless.

 

[Boom_70]

Clear that it was a fake. Pepsi would never get involved in a risk like that.

 

[dreunc1542]

Next you're going to tell me that these people didn't really think they playing against a random old guy!

 

[Riptide]

One commenter said he recognized the salesman as an actor.

True. And who would use an older, heavier salesman in a commercial prank?

Minor detail: There's an "09" sticker on the Camaro's windshield. However, there was no '09 Camaro. The current-gen Camaro was released in spring 2009 as a 2010 model.

Still a very fun video, and a great concept.

 

[Double J]

It's fake but still funny.

This.

 

[93Devil]

It is funny, but in this day and age I think it is fake to a point.

They could have lined up an actor to play the salesman, he signs a waiver, and told the guy that Gordon will come in and yada, yada, yada...

But the actor could not have totally understood how ****ing good Gordon can drive and scary it is to be behind the wheel with a professional driver with a Camaro. So I think those reactions are partially genuine.

Obviously fake - you can't take someone on a ride like that without them knowing what's up. Suppose they do wreck? But still funny. I enjoyed it because it was funny, not because I was thinking it was genuine.

Life with a rod up your ass can't be much fun.

Brad Noffsinger gets the credit for the stunt driving. Pretty clearly fake, but entertaining as hell.
