NASCAR driver Travis Kvapil to pilot No. 28 “Knight Rider” Ford at Bristol
NASCAR race car driver Travis Kvapil will pilot the No. 28 “Knight Rider” Ford for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race today at Bristol Motor Speedway, through a unique partnership between Ford Motor Company and NBC.
The sponsorship by NBC of the No. 28 Ford comes in anticipation of the television series premiere of NBC’s Knight Rider on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. EST.
“This is such an awesome sponsor for our team at Bristol,” commented Kvapil in a press release. “The television series ‘Knight Rider’ is a show that everyone can get hooked on. I think it’s really cool that NBC has chosen to reinvent the series for the fall line-up. The best part about the show was always the car, KITT, and this is amazing that I get to drive a version of KITT for the night race at Bristol. It’s every guy’s dream to feel like they are an action hero and I get to have that chance under the lights of Bristol with our No. 28 ‘Knight Rider’ Ford.”

I thougth that was good idea for Knigth rider to put into nascar ,better if would have been in the top 5 but still thougth it was good. It still gave Travis the idea that someone thinks more of him then what he thinks.
