California is home to both a large entertainment & film industry and to many great Soap Box Derby resources. Soap Box Derby racing regularly appears in television commercials/shows, advertisements, promotional videos, and in movies. Just a few years back, the movie ’25 Hill’ was made telling the Soap Box Derby Racing story and promoting the sport. If you have a story to tell that involves kids and racing events, we probably can help!
In early 2017, three different NFL SuperBowl commercials featured Soap Box Derby racing, and yes, we provided some of the cars! Image from the Alfa Romeo SuperBowl ad:
