Santorum's presidential campaign is sponsoring Tony Raines' car in Sunday's race. Crew members in Florida spent Saturday preparing the car, and AP photographer Rainier Ehrhardt snapped some early pictures.

and spraying on the raceway forcing caution flags every lap until the car is DQ'ed for crap.

Tony is a good driver. A lot of teams don't have the funding to field a competitive car. They race for the position purse.

I predict it will not even make one lap of the track in Daytona!
As NASCAR fans know oval tracks require that you turn left, therefore as it is associated with Santorum on the first lap it will turn HARD RIGHT and hit the wall, causing immediate self destruction.
