Who is she?
About a year ago, I wrote an article about a string of commercials starring NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, promoting a new NOS Energy Drink. One of the commercials, “Can I Get a Photo,” features a young woman asking Kyle for a photo… with the new NOS Rowdy can. The video has amassed over 2.5 million views, with many viewers asking questions like, “Who is the women [sic] though?” and “What’s her name? Who is she?”
And her name is…
Well, folks, I’m here to tell you that she is none other than actor/comedian/musician Graci Carli. I’ve known Graci for almost 10 years and became a fan of her music when she was in a band called The Chasing Game. Since then, Graci has moved from her hometown of Dayton, Ohio, to the Big Apple, working as prominent actress, getting cast in a variety of commercials, films, TV shows, and promotional videos.
Where you may recognize her
One of her most recent roles includes a comedic spot on BET’s 50 Central, playing a woman saved by black Spider-Man (50 Cent). Just an FYI, she has a few more sketches from the show premiering on Dec. 6 and Dec. 13. Graci also starred in a few other memorable commercials and videos you may recognize, including the NFL Shop Commercial “Vikings Family” and the parody video “Westboro Mingle.”
Graci has also done other auto-themed work, including starring in an online advertisement for smart cars and acting as host for a pilot for Amazon, which included this video covering the Bugatti Chiron:
New music on the way
Recently, Graci has been making music with beau Tony Bush (Scenes from a Movie) as a duo called SLEEP/OVER. The pair has been documenting their musical journey on Instagram with hilarious videos and snippets of songs, and they just finished a photo shoot in NYC and will be releasing music very soon.
Ben never thought he’d be writing about cars for a living, but here he is, knowing more about the Kia Stinger than he’d care to admit. When he’s not devoting his time to researching engine specs and other oh-so-exciting car details, he can be found enjoying time with his wife and dogs. See more articles by Ben.
