Tea Party supporters can now root for their cause on the racetrack. TheTeaParty.net has announced that a NASCAR vehicle will be sponsored by the organization.

Chris Lafferty’s #89 truck will be known as “We the People’s” through the 2012 election.

Bill Wallace, the coach and general manager of Lafferty Motorsports LLC, wrote in a letter posted on TeaPartyRacing.com that the sponsorship will be funded with donations. Part of the donations made to TeaPartyRacing will go to Lafferty’s team, part to TheTeaParty.net.

TeaPartyRacing.com, an affiliate of TheTeaParty.net, states that, “as a dynamic and patriotic race team, TeaPartyRacing.com, attracts fans from all walks of life through participation in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Events.”

Todd Cefaretti of TheTeaParty.net said in a statement to The Hill that his organization will make money from the sponsorship.

What kind of truck is it? If it is a Obama-GM, Obama-Dodge (Fiat/Chrysler) or Toyota it will be pretty stupid. It better be a Ford.

It might be a pre-bailout model

That should be pretty cool. You know it is funny but I was never really interested in NASCAR and thought it was just a big waste during the President Bush 8 years. But I have changed my entire thought on NASCAR since November 2008. I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that during President Bush’s terms patriotism was in the government and although I always thought that NASCAR was 100 percent American and patriotic knowing that the President was too I did not yearn to see it in my daily life. However since November 2008, I feel that the climate is so Anti-American, unpatriotic, etc due to this President that I actually got a “tear in my eye” knowing that there are segments of our United States that loves the United States and are very patriotic. Basically I took NASCAR for granted and now I am honored to have them part of the United States. Go NASCAR!!!

Didn’t NASCAR receive a huge amount of bail out money or does my memory not serve me? I would find that interesting...
