Victor Cagnazzi Racing driver-in-waiting Shane Tucker, the Australian Pro Stock star who has been signed to a developmental contract while VCR searches for corporate funding for his car, just might become a household name before he ever makes a pass in NHRA competition.

Tucker recently spent a day at the track filming a commercial for Sweet Dreams Mattress of Mooresville, N.C. The commercial shows a couple sleeping on the starting line while Tucker executes a burnout and launch just a few feet away. Victor Cagnazzi Racing driver-in-waiting Shane Tucker, the Australian Pro Stock star who has been signed to a developmental contract while VCR searches for corporate funding for his car, just might become a household name before he ever makes a pass in NHRA competition.

Tucker recently spent a day at the track filming a commercial for Sweet Dreams Mattress of Mooresville, N.C. The commercial shows a couple sleeping on the starting line while Tucker executes a burnout and launch just a few feet away.

"The commercial is a bit of a laugh and should be fantastic," Tucker said. "The point is the mattresses are so comfortable that you can sleep through anything. I do a burnout next to a couple sleeping to show that even a racecar won’t wake you."

The commercial will air on Speed TV, CNBC, CNN, CNN Headline News, and MSNBC starting in mid-December.

Since they already had the track rented for the day, Tucker made several passes and according to VCR General Manager Bryce Gandy, Tucker handled himself like a pro.

"Shane is a great fit for our race team and will learn a lot from Jeg Coughlin and Dave Connolly," Gandy said. "He can drive a racecar and he is such a natural in front of the camera. He'll be a great spokesman for someone. His initial runs down the track proved to be solid and we look forward to testing more after the New Year."
