Can you spot which ridiculous NASCAR race names are fake?

Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports

The Cheez-It 355 at Watkins Glen International is well under way this Sunday. A race named after our favorite cheese cracker product (sorry, Cheese Nips) got us thinking: what product can we name a race after that can pass as an official NASCAR race? Below are the names of seven races. Five of these are real. Two are fake races. Can you find the bogus events?

Duck Commander 500

La Croix 300

Toyota Owners 500

Spongebob Squarepants 400

Windows 10 400

Bojangles’ Southern 500

Tinactin 400

Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500

Answers: If one of your answers is Spongebob Squarepants 400, you are wrong. Who lives in a pineapple and has a race named after him? Spongebob Squarepants!

The phony races are the Tinactin 400 and the La Croix 300, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be races in the near future. It’s your call, brands!
