On February 15, 2009, under Daytona International Speedway’s bright sunshine, Tom Cruise appeared to carry with him an enigmatic accessory. A pair of sunglasses had a history in the course of the film industry since he wore them in a movie and sanctioned them as the must-haves in a chosen line of temperament: Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviators. One could just as well have evoked all the glory that went with Nights of Thunder and thus be insipid watching as Tom Cruise himself bedecked by non-objection Cop (by paint spray, one suspects) posed leisurely before the famous City Chevrolet No. 46.

Tom Cruise was at the Daytona 500 Premier Forum gracing the event in the same style as did Jennifer Aniston in Friends, as he donned the original Ray-Bans, the ultimate badass of all times, also previously used as a statement of Hollywood styles. Just to wear those RB3025 sunglasses modularized the Hollywood glamour and the rush of speed together. The industry grows so big that it starts creating its own replicas.

These shades do so much more than accessorize. They actually meet the character in renewal…as in those past glamorous movies, with the much older essence matching the timeless style.

It just didn’t end with posing, for he shoved all that charisma even further by continuously leaning forward, acknowledging something sticking a fraction upward from Contie Street on the track below. They said for every 50-car, NASCAR biggie Community Circled Speed Driver Dignitary Fan Patron Racer-Instruments-Ravaging Notoriety to glide majorly onto the strait, which got loud in the pits. Tom Cruise led them for the initial bunch of laps of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS pace car set about the whole NASCAR event. He was on his Daytona home track where Days of Thunder once put him in a car racing near 200 mph in the very same race environment.

Conor, Cruise’s son, was standing beside him alongside Martin Holmes, his father-in-law, who was basking in the sun.
