Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum is sponsoring #26 Front Row Motorsports Ford car at NASCAR's Daytona 500. Santorum's logo covers the hood and his "Made in America" logo is painted on the Ford Fusion driven by Tony Raines.

In an interview with USA Today, Raines said the Santorum campaign reached out and suggested the idea. "I think it's cool they take notice of us and have a presence in the race. Our fans are the backbone of America. I enjoyed talking to him. It was cool he wanted to touch base."

I hope Raines gets a DNF!

1. Who is Tony Raines?

[HopeHoops]

3. The only one desperate for attention enough to accept sponsorship from Mr. Frothy.

5. I pay attention to NASCAR and I'm not familiar with him

But I hope the race is safe today.

10. From Faux News last nite -

He's had 428 starts - never won a race. Seems perfect for Sanctimonius.

[HopeHoops]

2. Aren't they going to wash off that big frothy spot on the hood?

[dballance]

4. Well I wish no harm on Mr. Raines

But I hope his car gets four flats and washes out as bad as Santorum.

6. I wouldn't trust any car endorsed by Santorum

It would have no brake, no steering wheel, and be incapable of moving forwards, but only of going backwards at enormous speed. And no doubt be equpped with a set of mirrors for the driver to constantly check whether anyone is having sex on the back seat, instead of concentrating on the road.

8. ++++++++++++ eleventy times eleven.

7. Stupid move, too big of a chance to have the car you sponser to star in your

opponents ads crashing or rolling into the pits with a problem.

[11 Bravo]

9. At Daytona they do a LOT of nose-to-tail racing. I'll bet nobody wants to hook up ...

behind THAT car.

11. Lubed with Santorum.

12. I wonder why his logo is "RICK" and not "SANTORUM"?!?!?

HAhahahah.

[DippyDem]

14. The cost was 25,000 bucks per letter. Rick has to pinch (santorum) pennies.

Hope that helps your question.

13. Foster Freeze didn't want to spend more required to sponsor a champion driver. n/t
