John Cena is starring in a new commercial that is set to air during the NASCAR Daytona 500. In the commercial, Cena teaches the "Gillette Young Guns" how to wrestle. This is not Cena's first appearance in the world of NASCAR. Last year, Cena was a part of the Gillette company's celebrity racing challenge. The former WWE champion is good friends with NASCAR driver Carl Edwards and has showed up to a few races wearing Edwards' uniform.

The Gillette company issued the following press release today:

New Television Campaign Introducing Newest Gillette Razor Features Six of NASCAR’s Elite Drivers and World Wrestling Entertainment® Star John Cena DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(NYSE:PG) – Gillette today announced the addition of two of NASCAR’s most talented drivers – Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin – to the 2008 Gillette Young Guns team. Bowyer and Hamlin officially join Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman as Gillette Young Guns. The pair, each whom qualified for last season’s NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup championship, was welcomed into the Gillette family as part of a ceremonial “first shave” fan event held during Speedweeks activities at Daytona International Speedway.

Gillette will jump start the 2008 NASCAR season by unveiling a new Gillette Young Guns television campaign, entitled “Wresting Ring,” during FOX’s telecast of the 50th running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, February 17. The creative will feature the Gillette Young Guns drivers, along with World Wrestling Entertainment® (WWE) superstar John Cena.

“The addition of Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin represent Gillette’s continued commitment to excellence as we kick off another NASCAR season with our Gillette Young Guns team,” said Mike Norton, External Relations, Gillette. “These two superstars have showcased their outstanding talents and are perfect partners to help launch our latest shaving products including the Gillette Fusion Power Phenom razor.”

Since its inception in November 2003, the Gillette Young Guns program has been comprised of many of NASCAR’s most talented drivers. The newest Gillette Young Guns, Bowyer and Hamlin, have quickly become stars in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series entering just their third full-time season. Bowyer, the Richard Childress Racing driver, earned his first-career Cup win at the opening Chase race in New Hampshire in 2007, while adding five top fives and 17 top 10s en route to third place in the final Chase standings. Hamlin, a two-time Chase participant for Joe Gibbs Racing, has three-career victories in NASCAR’s top series, including last summer at New Hampshire, along with 12 top fives and 18 top 10s in 2007 to finish 12th in the final Chase standings.
