The 2009 Season Wraps Up While the Rest of Us Start Wrapping for the Holidays

2009-11-19T12:18:50-08:00

While the last race day of the season approaches, the holiday season is just getting warmed up.

And while maybe your driver won't be walking off with the Cup (or maybe he will), there are still plenty of reasons to get excited over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore.

To start, with the temperatures dropping, now's the perfect time to pick up a twill jacket - and the fact that they're marked down to $99.99 (this week only!) isn't a bad reason, either! Shop the twill collection here and pick yours out today before this deal is over.

And if your driver had a bad year on the track, it's never too early to look forward to next season - and with all of the latest 2010 gear available now, it's even more fun to look ahead!

With all the new great gear available, don't forget to check out some of the NASCAR.COM Superstore's other offerings, such as the 2009 Holiday Catalog that you can page through, the Gift Center which is perfect for finding the best fit for anyone on your shopping list, and (most importantly) that fact that, through Saturday, you can save with free shipping on all orders!

So don't miss out - head on over and check out everything today!

The NASCAR.COM Superstore - New Look, Same Great Gear and Deals

2009-10-30T07:58:43-07:00

As everyone know, after a few hundred mile around the track, it's always good to get the car back into the garage for a tune-up and to make sureeverything under the hood is good to go.

Well, over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore, things aren't much different. After a few tweaks, they decided it was time to take the shop back to the garage and get a good look inside the chassis. And the result? The newly-redesigned NASCAR.COM Superstore.

And while not all of us are huge fans of change sometimes, this is one you definitely should be excited for. Now, you can navigate across drivers from anywhere on the site or shop by category for anything you're looking for. Add to that the revamped Gift Center and Custom Shop and there is alot to like!

On top of it all, let's be real - the site just looks awesome now.

Throw in the fact that you can receive free shipping on all orders over $100 and what reason don't you have to stop by? So head on over to the NASCAR.COM Superstore and check out the new look - and maybe pick a new look up for yourself in the process!

The NASCAR Hall of Fame Opens It Doors for a Handful of Legends

2009-10-15T12:33:23-07:00

While the Chase for the Cup rolls on (we're halfway there!) and a championship hangs in the balance, sometimes it's necessary to take a look back once in awhile. Not at the current season, but at the sport itself.

And, while you'll have to wait until May 11, 2010 to visit yourself, the new NASCAR Hall of Fame officially offered us the chance to look back at five great individuals in the sport when it announced the inaugural class to be inducted.

Bill France, Sr. Bill France, Jr. Dale Earnhardt. Junior Johnson. Richard Petty.

The list defines the foundation of NASCAR greatness, on and off the track.

And to help commemorate this achievement, the NASCAR.COM Superstore has all of the gear to celebrate the five individuals, from t-shirts to die-casts. You can check out the entire collection here.

So while the driver's on Sunday will be headed toward determining another title, and some of them looking to further their own achievements at a shot to end up in the Hall of Fame themselves one day, today it's about the people who helped define the sport and make it what it is for those very same drivers on the track this weekend.

Congratulations to the Class of 2010 Inductees!

The Chase Rolls On With Halloween Right Around the Bend and More!

2009-10-08T12:19:42-07:00

Who doesn't love a good Chase for the Cup? While some years may have you guessing between one or two drivers on who might be left standing, this year is proving to be as unpredictable as ever.

This past weekend saw Tony Stewart serve notice that he's not through as he took the checkered flag in Kansas. Over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore, you can get the official t-shirt commemorating the victory - who knows, it might just be the first step on his way to a title. Then again, I'm sure Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson, and a whole bunch of others might have something to say about that.

And while you may not be up for a Tony Stewart celebration depending on your driver of choice, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of gear available over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore. For starters, with Halloween only a few weeks away, isn't it time to get the kids the costume you know they'd love? Right now, Halloween costumes are on sale for up to 30% off!

And if it's savings you're looking for, it's savings you'll find. Aside from the Halloween costumes, Silly Season savings are in full effect, with select gear up to 50% off. And another program to remember is the Chase for the Holidays Rewards. You might remember it from one of our previous posts here, but you can check out all of the details here.

There is plenty to check out over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore, including the Susan G. Komen collection and the newest in Realtree gear - and the best part? Free shipping on all orders over $100! So head on over now!

Product Review: The ButtKicker - Does it Live Up to It's Name?

2009-09-01T14:30:40-07:00

Over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore, there are always new items being added and, let's be honest, it can be hard to keep up sometimes. With tons of categories to choose from, it'd be hard not to let some products slip by. Well over here at PitPass, we thought we'd review some of those very products - the ones that maybe you didn't know we had, or the ones that you weren't so sure about.

And the first product we thought we'd try out is the ButtKicker (and yeah, we did this because it sounded like it would be fun, too). What exactly is the ButtKicker? The ButtKicker is a wireless home theater kit from the Guitammer Company®. Basically, it's designed to take your home theater to the next level - as the product description on the box reads, "Why Just Watch the Race When You Can Feel It Too"?

So we took the ButtKicker up on the offer. After all, any product can build themselves up, but can they live up to it? And we can honestly say, after alot of testing, that the ButtKicker does live up to it's bragging rights. The ButtKicker is designed to bring the whole effect of what your watching to your chair (and you) by syncing with your subwoofer/bass so you literally feel the action through vibrations. But we wanted to know if it would bring it in a way that adds to the program rather than takes away from it.

The ButtKicker can appear a little intimidating at first as you open it up and take all of it's components out of the box, but in reality, the quick setup guide helps make it a pretty cut-and-dry process. For someone sitting down with the project, having the ButtKicker assembled in less than 20 minutes is easy - for someone extremely savvy with electronics, we imagine they'd fly through the setup without a problem.

For the purposes of our testing, we testing the ButtKicker on a variety of chairs and programs. Sofas, chairs, recliners... race day, game day, music, movies, video games... you name it, we tested it.

The thing we found to be best about the ButtKicker is actually the fact that you can control the intensity. Let's be real, sometimes you'll be in the mood for going all-out while sometimes you might be feeling a bit laid-back. But this actually works best because it helps you adjust the intensity to match what you're watching and what you're watching it on. A recliner or a basic chair don't need as much power to really fire things up, while on a sofa it helps to have a little more kick.

All in all, though, we found that the ButtKicker can add something to any situation if it's adjusted properly. We tested ours on a large screen HD TV with our surround sound (a very basic model) and, grouped with the ButtKicker, it made for a complete experience. And that's really what it brings to the table, like they say. The ButtKicker can take you from simple television to being that much closer to the feeling of experiencing it. In fact, the intro to the free DVD that it comes with - Maximum Velocity - gave us some chills as it incorporated the pre-race jet flyover which was unreal. We managed to catch the Bristol Race and the ButtKicker added to the fireworks plenty during the collision between Michael Waltrip and Clint Bowyer.

Our recommendations for the best experiences (other than a race, which worked extremely well) were action movies, video games and - something that we tried on a hunch - music. Popping in a DVD of a live music concert was simply awesome and provided the full feeling of being there.

To sum it up, the ButtKicker is worth it - especially for anyone who is big into having that great television set up with surround sound. After all, why just watch the race when you can feel it, too? You can find the ButtKicker in the New Arrivals or the Home Decor section over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore. Check it out and let us know what you think yourselves!

Get Your Driver's Newest Gear and Score Some Savings

2009-08-21T09:11:45-07:00

The Chase is heating up as the season rolls on, and we've even seen our first driver clinch his spot. The bottom of the Chase standings are far from set though and to keep in the competitive spirit the NASCAR.COM Superstore has plenty of new gear available!

First, there is the obvious - Brian Vickers took the win last Sunday (a nice start to a week where he also signed a contract extension) and so he becomes the latest driver whose winner's gear you can find available, while on the other side of things, Tony Stewart's showing at Michigan clinched a spot in the Chase, which means his Official Chase tee and hat are now available as well!

The other big savings at the NASCAR.COM Superstore is a 20% off sale for select Dale Jr. gear which is a great deal by itself, but when you add in the NASCAR.COM Superstore's Free Shipping on orders over $100 it's that much more awesome.

And the sale on Dale Jr. isn't all that you'll find, as the new Sugar Free Dale Jr. die-cast is available (though not part of the 20% off sale) and even Carl Edwards has gotten in on the act with his own die-cast in the Aflac Cancer Center collection.

Finally, there is the newest gear for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 collection for the race in Montreal.

No matter who you cheer for, there's something new all the time, and with free shipping on orders over $100, there's no reason not to take full advantage! Enjoy the race!

Stewart With Another 'W' and Plenty of New Additions at the NASCAR.COM Superstore

2009-08-11T13:20:48-07:00

Chalk up another one. While most fans may have been less than thrilled by the rain delay, Stewart fans will take it if it comes with another victory - which it did. Stewart took his fifth win ever at The Glen on Monday, further solidifying his spot at the top of the standings. Over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore, they've got the latest gear to celebrate his win and give his fans a chance to show off the dominance their guys has had on the track.

Outside of Stewart's win, Brad Keselowski got the win at the inaugural Nationwide Series race at Iowa Speedway last week which the NASCAR.COM Superstore is helping to commemorate with a t-shirt of it's own that you can grab here!

And there are plenty of other new arrivals over at the NASCAR.COM Superstore - whether it's a plush Aflac duck or Aflac Monster truck in the Carl Edwards Aflac collection or the newest gear for all of the ladies out there looking to show their NASCAR passion in style.

And don't forget that right now you can still save with FREE shipping when you spend over $100 on your order (and, really, who doesn't love free stuff?). So head over now and get all the latest items to wear as the summer months wind down and the Chase heats up!
