Toyota releases wild (and unhinged) NASCAR-themed ad in Japan

Toyota Gazoo Racing has released quite the commercial, but it's unlikely you've seen it unless you live in the island nation of Japan. The video, which has amassed 2.4 million views on YouTube at the time of writing this story, takes the viewer on quite the chaotic journey.

It begins with a NASCAR race and generic stock cars digitally added. Racing around Bristol Motor Speedway in what appears to be wet conditions (which would be terrifying in real life), the ad begins. With some upbeat music playing, the cars race on. As for what happens next, well, you're just going to have to watch the video. It's hard to properly capture in words alone, but there's giant toys falling from the sky, Chinook helicopters, cars crashing, a distressed flagman, and a McDonald's-sponsored Toyota Supra safety car saving the day.
