VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Sept 8 (Reuters) - Mitt Romney was set to try another lap around the track on Saturday to win over NASCAR stock-car racing fans.
Romney, the Republican presidential candidate facing President Barack Obama, will visit a NASCAR race on Saturday night in Virginia, targeting white male voters in a swing state where early voting begins in two weeks.
Romney needs to win among white men by a healthy margin to offset the advantages Obama enjoys with women as well as black and Hispanic voters. A Reuters/Ipsos poll last week showed Romney with a 20 percentage-point lead among white, male voters.
He struggled to connect with blue-collar fans of NASCAR when he visited a major race earlier this season.
At the Daytona 500 event in February, Romney famously demonstrated he was not a fervent NASCAR fan, admitting as much before adding that he had "some friends who are NASCAR team owners." The comment opened the former private equity executive to criticism that he was out of touch with ordinary people.
He will try again on Saturday at the Federated Auto Parts 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Richmond International Raceway....

If whites supported Romney at a 95% approval rate - would that be racist?
No, it would be proof that 5% of all white people are are suicidal morons.
Sammy obviously has never been to a NASCAR track. Why does he think all those “white”, as well as other skin tone males are there. Women love NASCAR!
Naturally. Heck, if even one votes for the white guy over OThe Annoited ne, that’s a hate crime.
That early voting is crap. Letting all these leftist tactics through is what’s killing us.
I hear a few white babes also like NASCAR.
They’re racists.
Early voting?
Reeeeealy, people? It blows my mind how trivial people take their voting to need to do it over a month early when anything can happen between then and November.
Is this the year that Junior finally wins a Cup title?
It opens the door to plenty of voter fraud. The Dems have been registering new voters in VA since Obama took office. Early voting is just another Dem scheme to steal elections. In 2008, McCain received more votes than Obama on election day. Obama already had a sizeable chunk of his in the bank. In states like FL, one third of the vote has already been cast before election day.
Early voting starting Sept. 21st? What in the world ever happened to just voting on VOTING DAY...first Tuesday in November? Early voting should be banned! Period! Either vote absentee ballot or go to the polls on the officially designated day for voting!
Boogity Boogity!! We’re in rain delay at Richmond,, at least Mitt knows how to operate an umbrella.
He just might.I hope Biffle gets it though.ABJ!
Maybe it’s me, but instantly associating white males, of which I am one, with NASCAR is as racist as instantly associating blacks with fried chicken or watermelon.
“...where early voting begins in two weeks.”
Thats news to me. I have lived in VA for 33 yeats and we have never had nor will we ever have early voting. Amazing that they have stooped to simply making crap up that isn’t even relevant to the story. Who writes this crap?
