Their car, a Camry? I wish them well, but they will need a miracle.

A new team is set to join the NASCAR racing league, a sport currently holding the number two spot in revenues and number of viewers (after football) – American Israel Racing (AIR). The goal behind the new initiative: "Promote awareness of and support by Americans for Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East."
The new team is planning on having their car, adorned with an Israeli flag; participate in the Daytona 500 which is set to take place at the end of the month in Florida. The race is considered one of the most watched sporting events in the country, with over 30 million Americans watching it last year.

Interesting. I’ve never seen a stock car run with the Indy cars. I’m betting it finishes 30 laps down in the Indy 500. ;^)
I don’t disagree with this promotion,but NASCAR teams will take any sponsors money. Can a HAMAS,Cair, or LaRaza sponsorship be far behind?
Ping.
J.J. Yeley driver.
Not much of a record yet in Nascar.
I’m guessing they mean the Brickyard 400?
Or maybe hooking up with an Indy only team for the 500.
There are typically about 8 to 10 Indy only cars since they start 33 at Indy and the other races are about 24 or so cars.
Last years winner (Dan Wheldon - RIP) was actually a one-off effort.

I’m sure that’s what the poster meant but I couldn’t resist. JJ Yelley will be the driver. Yahoo sports in their NASCAR section has a little article with some good artist renderings of the paint job.
LOL! it says Camry on the front and Toyota on the back!
Great catch!!! Nobody ever said those NASCAR types were very smart.
That is as stupid as saying 'Impala' on the front and 'Chevrolet' on the back.....or 'Charger' on the front and 'Dodge' on the back.
Typical hillbillies. Next thing ya know, they'll put 'Focus' on the front and 'Ford' on the back.
“Nascar teams will take any sponsors money”
Hendricks motorsports has AARP on Jeff Gordon’s 24 car. That’s a pretty left wing outfit.
BTW, I like the Israel sponsorship—anything to tweak that puke in the white hut!!
I love Israel but I wish politics would stay the hell out of NASCAR.
“set to take part in the Daytona 500”
Heavy on the take part. They have to qualify first, to get in the race.
"YOUR TRACKS ARE BELONG TO US"
Hey, did you hear about the new Israeli race car? It stops on a dime...and picks it up!
Gotta love it.
maybe the JPFO would like to advertise? 
Do you know which team declined the nobama sponsorship? I doubt if it would be Rick Hendrick.
BAM Racing (currently inactive) was all set to take Baraq’s check but the campaign had buyer’s remorse and backed out.
I suspect they realized what would happen:

As for Hendrick, he’s more of an opportunist than an ideologue. Lately he’s been funding Republicans.
