Santorum-sponsored car unveiled at Daytona
By Jamie Klatell - 02/25/12 01:48 PM ET

Rick Santorum's presidential campaign is sponsoring the number 26 car for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.

The cars driver, Tony Raines, is considered a heavy underdog in the race.

"NASCAR and the Daytona 500 are about as American as you can get, and it's great to have my campaign represented by one of these incredible machines," Santorum said in a release. "The race weekend is a wonderful tradition that we're excited to be a part of as we spread our message. I like how Tony Raines turned some heads last weekend with his qualifying run, and we'd like to keep turning heads, too. I think we're both looking for a win in the end."

Mitt Romney's campaign said Friday that its candidate will attend the race, but Romney is not sponsoring a car.

I took you off my list. I know what you mean. Who would have thought the Rick Ping would be so high volume. I guess that is a good thing though.

(Danica did pretty well also, despite having a bad day.)

If you call getting pushed into the top ten good, then whatever. She's awful and pouts like a 2 year old.

Four hours of constant advertising

..from Tony Raines? Not likely to get 50 laps in.

Let's just say that advertising was cheap!
