Rick Santorum Will Sponsor a Daytona 500 Car

"“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.”"

The car is a Ford Focus, lest you believe its not ‘Merican enough. Rumors that Santorum seemed inordinately concerned with regulating the car’s emissions are unconfirmed.
