Forget Football. Nick Offerman's Glorious Nascar Music Video Will Get You Pumped for Racing

You got a taste the other day. But now it's time for the whole damn gluten-stuffed main course, as NBC Sports has rolled out its complete two-minute video with Nick Offerman singing gloriously about Nascar. It's a match made in heaven, really, as Offerman brings his world-weary, manly-man persona to the topic of America having gone soft, and needing the adrenaline shot of auto racing—along with all the accoutrements that culture brings, like grilled meats and American flag thongs—to set things right. The video was made in-house, with Hungry Man's Dave Laden directing. A 60-second version will air right after the final whistle of NBC's Super Bowl telecast this Sunday, starting the network's engines nicely as it returns to broadcasting Nascar this summer. Below, check out the script and credits. SCRIPT America, it's time for a gut check. If the founding fathers saw us huddled in our little cocoons, texting each other smiley faces, they'd hang their powdered wigs in shame. When our idea of danger is eating gluten, there's trouble afoot. Yes, we the people have gotten soft, and all the likes in the world aren't gonna save us now. But one thing will. Welcome to the place where we speed all day Where we bump and grind in a non-sexual way Where scores are settled, and we break the rules And everybody's got a set of badass tools Get some Nascar in your life Hello glory, goodbye strife Welcome to the place that we call home Where meats are grilled and you can bring your own Where everyone's welcome and we all belong Even my friend in his American flag thong Get some Nascar in your life Hug your kids and kiss your wife You want Billy and Sally to learn about math and science? Send them to the school of Nascar, they'll thank you for it. Sure everybody at Nascar gets a trophy As long as they win the f**king race Watch your mouth Did you know that less than 10 miles from Sonoma Raceway you can go wine tasting? True story. Get some Nascar in your life Slap some butter on your knife Welcome to the place where your beast is freed Like the rubber hooves of a tire stampede Where men and women compete together Just like they did back in the 18-nevers 200 miles per freaking hour 700 freaking horse freaking power VO: Neck and neck, the battle is down this last stretch/ And Offerman takes Harvick to the checkered flag There's Harvick, Logano and Hamlin and Newman Keselowski, Dale Jr, they're all super human Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, the Busches And maybe Jimmie Johnson will come back and kick some tuchus Hello glory, goodbye strife You've got Nascar In. Your. Life.
