Did two commercials leave the farm?
One of the cuter commercials that used to be shown, particularly during a race, were the Jeff Burton State Farm commercials. The commercials weren’t so much direct pitches for car insurance as they were a cute pr infomercial approach. In one commercial Jeff Burton tells his rep how many accidents he’s had. In another he is shown telling the children to buckle up even though they’re in a hurry, followed by an elderly woman going by. In the past weeks since the Nextel season began I’ve been checking out the commercials. I haven’t seen either of these since the season started. I wonder if perhaps they’re not sponsoring this year.
