You are familiar with the Tide® car and even the Viagra® car, but how about a NASCAR racer with a giant image of your dog on it? That would be one fast doggie! Pedigree® pet food announces 'THE LUCKIEST DOG of NASCAR Contest, which could land Fido's face on the Number 18 Pedigree® Toyota driven by Kyle Busch.

Busch will race with the giant dog photo on his car during the Checker Auto Parts 500 in Phoenix on November 15, 2009. In addition, the owners of the winning dog will also be treated to a three-day / two-night trip to the race where they'll see their four-legged friend's face firsthand.

"We're excited to give one pet owner the chance to publicly profess the love they have for their pet," said John Anton, Marketing Director of the Pedigree Brand.

Many of you may remember the funny Pedigree® commercials from Super Bowl XLII. Bison Dung, Anyone?
