Ron Paul Racing Lands a Car!
After exiting conversation’s with Doug Yates Racing, we have secured permission to announce our sponsor intentions. Not just any car but the legendary #28 making its historic return to the track since it was retired shortly after the passing of NASCAR great Davey Allison in 1993. Imagine the coverage this team is going to get for Ron Paul.

Doug Yates Racing, with 48 poles, 57 wins including two Daytona 500s and a Championship, is no stranger to winning. The #28 car also posted the 4th fastest time in Daytona’s preseason test earlier this month. Imagine the coverage this car will get for its history alone. Now imagine it covered with Ron Paul. This would be the first time a NASCAR racecar was sponsored by "We the People", the fans, the Ron Paul Revolution.

However, depending on our commitment we will need to collect $50K to 400k in the next 2 weeks. Considering we (the grassroots supporters) have collected 6.5 million in 24 hours, WE CAN DO THIS! But we need everyone’s help. Please copy this hyperlink-logo and post it everywhere. Add www.ronpaulracing.com to your email signature and most of all donate today.

the 28 car is driven by Travis Kvapil this year. It is guarunteed a spot in the Daytona 500 cause the car finished in the top 35 in points.

 

[ronpaulitician]

[DirtMcGirt]

[literatim]

He needs to hook up with a PAC. The only legal way to do this is to start a PAC or work with one.

NASCAR driver is rebuked for Bush sticker

It’s no secret that NASCAR drivers skew Republican, which is fine with the Federal Election Commission, just so long as they don’t display their preferences where anyone can see them.

In a decision announced Tuesday, the FEC sent an “admonishment letter” to Kirk Shelmerdine Racing. Kirk Shelmerdine, a former pit boss for the late Dale Earnhardt, has been an unsuccessful, underfunded and undersponsored driver. He has never finished higher than 26th.

So back in 2004, in a move perhaps designed to draw some attention to his car, he placed a “Bush-Cheney ’04” decal on his rear quarter panel, which was otherwise unencumbered by advertising. Democratic activist Sydnor Thompson complained to the FEC, and the agency found that Shelmerdine “may have made an unreported independent expenditure or a prohibited corporate expenditure.”

Former commissioner Bradley Smith dissented in one of the case’s early votes and blogged about the result this week. He has written that in reference to the FEC’s $250 expenditure limit, “evidence is strong that the market value of Shelmerdine’s rear quarter panel was approximately $0, give or take $249.”

NASCAR also holds the right to deny certain sponsors or decals on cars. They have done this in the past not allowing Playboy to sponsor and they used to not allow hard liquor to sponsor. They may have an issue with Ron Paul since most of the people who own NASCAR support the Ghoul.

If this gets to the chip-in stage, make sure Paypal knows what is going on so funds can be released quickly. Remember what happened with the NH recount $$.

 

[freedomintheusa]

The car owner i hope has checked into this

 

[extrmmxer]

I can tell you that Robert Yates Racing has a strong history on restrictor plate racing. It is very likely the #28 will be starting up front. This would be a great opportunity.

Wow cars from 1993 are still competitive in Nascar? Who is the best driver that doesnt have a ride?

noooooo....this would be a brand new car, with another brand new car sitting in a trailer as a backup. 1993 was in reference to the usage of the number 28.

This is a very good car with a very good team, which would be guaranteed to make the race.

I expected this plan to end up dealing with some scrub team that would be fighting to make the race. Kudos to the organizers!

Can one of the organizers address this and reply ASAP?
