Rain shortened races are never perfect, unless you’re the winner. Or the winning owner. Or sponsor of the winning car.

That last rain delay for the 2009 Coca Cola 600 was so long, that David Reutimann’s main sponsor Aaron’s Rent got almost as much exposure as the race’s title sponsor Coke.

And leave it to car owner Michael Waltrip - once referred to as a “NAPA hatted Ho” in the funniest blog title ever by Darren Fauth of One Bad Wheel. Mikey was hangin’ around spreading the NAPA colors right along with Reuty.

Coca Cola got unlucky with the weather but they had plenty of marketing ammo on hand for the event. Bobby Allison was there as grand marshall in the ‘69 Mercury Cyclone he drove to the ‘71 Coke 600 win.

And Dancing with the Stars winner Shawn Johnson did some laps with Coca Cola Family driver Kyle Petty and taught Petty some moves. Check out the pics below. Click the thumbnail for a full size view.

Shawn Johnson stuck this landing too
I guess if Kyle wins again, he'll have a victory move now
Where's Danica?

Nice jack...person Kyle
I have nothing to say
Guys, you don't have to tweet when you can actually talk to each other

She never would have won with Kyle
Kyle as Travolta?
Is this a jig or what?

    WOW–I remember that red and gold #12 as being a Chevy. I didn’t recall it being a FoMoCo. And you’ll never see anyone driving an ‘07 anything in the current year–maybe because they’re all the freaking same.

Got something to say?
