We all know Nascar branding is even more fake than V8 Supercar branding but it was still an epic bit of marketing on Holdens behalf. A VF Commodore winning one of the biggest car races in the world.. I mean common it was pretty epic even if it was just some headlight stickers

A girl started from pole, led the race and finished 6 th ( best female result at the 500 )
Does this mean they will sell more girls ?

No, it's about a Chev winning the Daytona 500, followed by their so called marketing prowess. You didn't give away a definitive result but you sure as ***** narrowed it down for me.

Commodore wins Daytona is about as realistic as Commodore wins Bathurst.

Glad no one saw the clip of Tony Steward saying, "You can tell it's a Chevy design" during pre-race. That would have caused a few red faces.
