Maximum Mini!

Tens of fans have become enthralled with the adventures of "Mini-Chad"--a scaled-down cardboard cutout featuring championship crew chief/Zach Braff lookalike Chad Knaus. Other people around Nascar have jumped on the bandwagon--here's some marketing ideas you might see rolled out in the next few weeks:


--Mini-Jimmie Johnson: Much like the other mini's being profiled here, it's flat, dead-eyed and boring. Just like the real JJ!


--Mini Junior: Comes with patented Chia-technology, allowing you to grow a gnarly red beard at your pleasure.


--Mini Jason Leffler: Coming in at a 1:4th scale, its nearly invisible without the use of a microscope.


--Mini Joe Nemechek: You only get 1/400th of the cutout, before your printer stops on account of a "vibration".


--Mini Michael Waltrip Racing: Start your own race team, get caught cheating, go heavily into debt, sell half your team to Robert Kaufmann. Mini Hair Gel sold separately.


--Mini Jimmy Spencer: Just as gimmicky and annoying as the real thing. Plus, take him to a McDonalds and get two free wins from Nascar!


--Mini Mike Mackler: Say something snarky, then get de-friended on Facebook for it 2 years later. Just as depressing and pointless as the real thing! …And ladies, feel free to become Mini Mike Mackler's Girlfriend (small licensing fee may apply).
