˜The Simpsons’ welcome Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr.

FOX Sports welcomes back Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and the rest of the gang from Springfield – and, this time, The Simpsons are bringing along some of their NASCAR pals. Four-time NASCAR champion and FOX NASCAR analyst Jeff Gordon joins NASCAR’s most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., as part of an animated promo for Daytona Day, the expanded, second-year marketing initiative in support of the Daytona 500. ‘It was really cool ¦ it’s such a popular show, Gordon said. ‘Whether they are making fun of you or not, it’s just an honor to be a part of it. Viewers of Sunday’s Super Bowl LI on FOX got a sneak peek of the Daytona Day promo with Gordon and Earnhardt, now scheduled to air in episodes of The Simpsons on Feb. 12 and Feb. 19. The Simpsons airs Sundays on FOX. Now, in its second year, the Daytona Day campaign, which now includes support from NASCAR, Daytona International Speedway and multiple consumer marketing partners, continues to recognize and celebrates the parties and social gatherings happening around the country on the day of the Daytona 500.(FoxSports)
