1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers of the Daytona 500 were drinking Coke in front of the camera - just wondering how much that was worth.

OK - so the Driver's charity gets a donation - Any one know how much money is donated to the charity?

Nothing. Everytime a driver is caught drinking Coke, the Coca-Cola company makes a contribution to the drivers' charity of choice.

Each driver has their own personal sponsorship deals. If you recall a few years ago NASCAR had to step in when some drivers took to knocking the Powerade bottle off the top of their racecar in vicotry lane. NA$CAR had a sponsorship deal with Powerade (through coca-cola) while the drivers in question (JJ in particular) had deals with Pepsi (Gatorade). If you watch the interviews with almost any driver, they will almost always be drinking a preferred beverage and making it very obvious. This is also the reason that most drivers wear sunglasses outside the racecar regardless of the weather. It's all about the $$ baby. The sponsors pay for this show we call NASCAR and they are treated accordingly.

Ryan Newman and his wife Krissy. My wife and I like watching the Amazing Race. She thinks Ryan is good looking and I think his wife is very pretty. That way we would both have a little eye candy plus I think they would be funny. Mike and Kenny Wallace would be a good team also. The straight man and the clown, sort of like the Smothers brothers. Oh yeah, Juan and his wife would be great on Amazing Race but he's no corporate puppet! Jonah's FINE N 09!!!!

coke told the drivers several years ago that for every time u r seen on tv drinking a coke, we'll give ur charity x amount of dollars so they all do it every time they can.
Actually coke pays the teams to carry their logo.
