If Commercials were Real Life - Daytona 500/Apple iPad
"There is no greater race, than the great American race."
Do they mean the Baja 1000?
KAMAZ Dakar Truck's Insane FOS Run
Yep, the name comes from Dakar, Senegal (In Africa), when the race, the Dakar Rally, was originally ran from Paris to Dakar. It's now held in South America, yet retains the legacy name.
These are specially built off road vehicles, Kamaz is the manufacturer in this example. Like many races, there are different classes of trucks that compete in the Rally, alongside dirt bikes, quads and cars.
It's basically Mad Max and I encourage folks to check out highlights of it, or the similar Baja 1000 race.
Interestingly, the truck class includes support trucks that don't actually compete, but assist competitors stranded in the middle of nowhere.
This Red Bull sponsored Monster (energy drinks!) has right around 1000hp and a 265 gallon fuel tank if I recall correctly. Road trip!
Is Dakar the name of the model (type) of the truck?
(edit) I see Dakar seems to be the name of the race and the city?

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God said, Let there be the Baja 1000: and there was Baja 1000.
6 And God said, Let there be cameras: and there were cameras.
7 And God said, Let there be tripods: and there were tripods.
8 And God said, Actually, fuck it, I take back the tripods.
