NASCAR
From Muppet Wiki
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is a car racing tournament in the United States.
In 2002, NASCAR teamed up with the Muppets for a marketing campaign that involved plush toys, die-cast cars and other merchandise meant to promote a series of car designs used to decorate NASCAR cars.
In addition to a program car which featured all of the Muppets, the following teams of Muppets and drivers appeared:
| Picture ! Driver | Muppet | Number | Car | Sponsor | |

Parodies
Sesame Street featured a spoof called "Nascount" in Episode 4154. In the sketch, the Count is a race car driver on a pit stop who refuses to rejoin the race until he has counted all forty cars that go by.
