NASCAR Fans Love Ryan Newman's New 'Day at Home' Video

Storefront
The first thing that racing fans saw when they watched this video of Newman was a brief shot of his home's exterior. The log cabin featured double doors and what appeared to be elk silhouettes marking the entrance.
For some viewers, this cabin appeared similar to an outdoor store or a massive ski lodge. Looking at Newman's home made some of the fans want to go stock up on fishing gear.
Proper Form
Will Ferrell introduced many outsiders to the world of NASCAR when he starred in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. This film put Ferrell in the titular role and tasked him with accurately portraying drivers.
One fan-favorite scene featured Bobby filming advertisements for the various sponsors. He talked about Big Red chewing gum and several other brands during this brief clip.
Solid Foundation
Newman has been a NASCAR driver in the Cup Series since 2000 and has earned a healthy wage throughout his career. Additionally, the sponsorships have provided an extra boost to his bank account. FOX Sports created a ranking of the wealthiest active drivers back in 2016 and placed Newman's career earnings at $87,589,974.
In the opinion of the racing fans, having the veteran driver film this video in his home is fitting considering the role that his sponsors played in the residence. They believe that Coca-Cola and the other companies helped pay for the property and the classic cars in the garage.
A Cool Guy
NASCAR drivers have a special skill set in that they can avoid collisions with 30-plus other vehicles while topping 150 mph. However, this is not the only arena in which they excel. According to some fans, the ability to casually force sponsors into every conversation is downright impressive.
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy once recorded a bit about how NASCAR fans hate Jeff Gordon because he enunciates and how they only want to watch interviews with someone that is incoherent except when they are listing sponsors.
"For the most part, the Hardee's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken Chevrolet, she's just awesome," the comedian said. This list of fake sponsors followed roughly 20 seconds on unintelligible comments.
Essentials
While many fans were chuckling about Newman's video on Wednesday, others were making a list of grocery items. Not everyone needs the same level of heavy-duty security on their computer, but they often require top-shelf motor oil and food items.
Hot dogs aren't automatically viewed as a must-have in every home, but Newman's video changed that opinion. Many of his fans began thinking about the importance of the food.
Missed Item
There was no denying that the NASCAR fans loved the video released on Wednesday. Newman's ability to sell was entertaining to them, and they wanted to see even more clips in the future. Although a few asked simply so they could see more of the classic cars in his garage.
One fan, however, noticed that Newman had made a small mistake while filming this video. They felt that he had failed to acknowledge one of the most important companies in his life.
Do Your Part
With rising concerns over the coronavirus, residents around the world are being urged to remain at home in self-quarantine. Avoiding the general public has been listed as the best possible way to "flatten the curve."
NASCAR fans are happy that Newman appears to be following this advice. He has been at home amid the outbreak, including when he was filming this video for Roush Fenway Racing.
