SI.com has learned that for the first time in history, a major presidential candidate may sponsor a race car in NASCAR's premier series. According to sources, Barack Obama's campaign is in talks to become the primary sponsor of BAM Racing's No. 49 Sprint Cup car for the Pocono race on August 3. Details of the agreement are expected to be worked out over the coming days.

A BAM spokesperson has revealed the team will hold a press conference July 23 in Miami to reveal the partnership, currently a proposed one-race deal with an option to continue. Obama will be at the briefing, which will be tied to the "Get Out The Vote" campaign message he spread throughout the 2008 primary season.
Nice little story...

Until Mister "We can't drill and must look for alternative fuels" gets asked how much oil will be wasted and how many trees he plans to plant to offset his carbon footprint...

And when he gets asked that question, he will reap the benefits of the blue collar fan's disdain of such tactics.
This is one of the smartest moves I have seen by a campaign since they used to pass out free beer at barn dances!
Shows that somebody running his campaign knows where a BIG voting block lies and is willing to rub elbows with people who shave the number "3" in their back hair to get it!

I'll enjoy watching my man Matt Kenseth's #17 car blow that #49 car away in the race!

Oops....maybe not to be. I think Obama may have refined his position on this subject.
