Everyone one who watches NASCAR on FOX knows Digger the Gopher. Digger was the mascot for a feature of called "GopherCam," a camera mounted in the track itself the cars would race over. The little guy caught on, with tons of merchandise in tow, and now we get a little Digger cartoon during the pre-race like this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChaLMSlsrk8I admit I laughed at DW's little cameo and the use of the "Hollywood Hotel," NASCAR on FOX's mobile studio. Do you think NASCAR really needs this? I mean, NASCAR's other broadcasters (ESPN, ABC, TNT, SPEED) don't do it. Other motorsports broadcasters, like F1 on BBC, don't do it. Arguably it does bring in kids as new fans but I don't know. What do you guys think?

Agreed, everytime I see him now I think "The NFL on FOX gets the cool dancing robot and we get this little guy." He's kind of wimpy but at least in 2D he's cuter
