TRIPLE HORSE HELPS COKE NASCAR DRIVE-IN TO THEATERS
Atlanta, Georgia - With a little help from team Triple Horse, the NASCAR drivers of the Coca-Cola Racing Family are driving into theaters this summer. But don't be surprised if they all get out of the same car.
This pre-feature entertainment spot sped into production back in May at the Belmont Drive-in near Charlotte, North Carolina, with 35 crew members, 10 NASCAR drivers, one drive-in theater, two sets, 100 extras, in 5 hours with 1 unexpected rainstorm.
    "Getting a large group of athletes or celebrities together for a spot always leaves us with no second chances," says Mike Tremble of Todd A/O. "Without sacrificing the creative, Triple Horse has consistently provided us with the flexibility and resources to roll with the numerous changes to our projects on 'shoot-day.'"
Set in a drive-in movie theater, the piece features all 10 members of the Coca-Cola Racing Family arriving and getting out of one car-a Coca-Cola NASCAR-and going to the concession stand for snacks and a refreshing Coke.
    Getting out of the single Coke NASCAR at the theater were Dale Jarrett, Bill Elliott, Steve Park, Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton, Michael Waltrip, Kyle Petty, John Andretti, and Ricky Rudd.
Karl Horstmann, director of the spot, has this to say, "Our creative challenge in working with all ten drivers from the Coca-Cola Racing Family was to help them feel relaxed and comfortable enough on set so they could do what they normally do when they're together-cut-up." (page 2)
