Rick Santorum purchased sponsorship on car #26 driving in the Daytona 500 this year. Santorum’s logo covers the hood and his “Made in America” logo is painted on the Ford Fusion driven by Tony Raines.
Here is some footage of Santorum providing his advise to the driver, which parallels his own attitude towards his race to with the Republican primaries:
.
Santorum will not be in attendance and instead campaigning in Michigan, but his closest challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, is expected to be there, gaining some publicity as well. The United Auto Workers union is flying a banner attached to an airplane for an hour before the race about his opposition to the auto bailout.
According to the Detroit News, the banner will read “Mitt Romney: Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” which is an op-ed Romney wrote in 2008 in the New York Times arguing against government financial intervention in the flailing American auto companies.
My response to all this is why can we not leave politics out of some events, such as sports? Please??
