A few months ago IndyCar sold an official teeshirt for the upcoming Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, DC that read “ONE NATION ONE RACE.”

Not quite a commercial, but official merchandise like this is a form of advertising, branding, messaging, etc, so I think it makes the cut.

Here is what it looked like:
