Snack time for NASCAR

According to the bag, Cheddar Pretzel Combos are "The cheese filled snack of NASCAR". I'm a little confused - I would've expected them to be the official cheese filled snack. Is it not official? Why don't they make it official? Or maybe it is, but there wasn't room for the word "official" and they figured anyone who took the time to read that note would just assume it was official.

Not to knock Combos or anything, but what exactly is the competition for the title of "cheese filled snack of NASCAR" anyway? I can't immediately think of another snack food that is cheese-filled, so is the title sort of a de facto thing? That's like declaring fish sticks to be your "official stick-shaped fried fish product" - there's really not much else that fits that description.
