We shot a Honda commercial called "The Fan" in 2005 where a Honda Engineer/Dyno Tech was daydreaming about driving an Indycar while half asleep running the engine dyno. We used my car, Kanaan's #11, but Wheldon did all of the driving.

Jeff Zwart does most of the Honda ads, and luckily this one also. He used a Cayenne Turbo, it was its second production. Jeff drove it around the oval for a few laps, then his pro driver the rest of the day.

It was pretty damn impressive seeing that truck lap Fontana at 115, 120 mph with a big boom and camera hanging off of the top. A lot better than any of our rental vans and SUVs could do. We saw 140 mph from the Honda telemetry on the back straight for a brief moment. Not too bad.

In true Dan form, he kept running the nose of the Indycar into the camera, one hit actually made the final commercial. When he was young, he was a real fu@king brat! Anyway….

Those Cayenne camera rigs are pretty impressive.
