Tea Party Sponsoring a "We the People" NASCAR Truck
Coming soon to a racetrack near you: A NASCAR racing truck sponsored by the Tea Party.

TheTeaParty.net, which serves as a web clearinghouse for about 200 small-government groups, is joining forces with NASCAR driver Chris Lafferty on a "We the People" truck.

Vicki Dooling, the media relations coordinator for TheTeaParty.net, said her group signed on with Lafferty's team in NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series as a way to reach out to a younger crowd and debunk any misperceptions about Tea Party supporters.

"We feel this is going to be a fabulous partnership," she told USA TODAY.

2. Given the general intelligence of the Tea Party folks,
someone will leave the oil pan drain plug out at the first race and that will be the end of that.

3. Not surprising here, and NASCAR isn't a legit sport. Soccer and golf are though. n/t

4. Misperceptions?!?
Like how racism, hatred, envy, bigotry, hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, ignorance, worship of wealth, power, influence and sociopathic behavior are being passed down generation to generation to their progeny?

6. Yeah, a Nascar sponsorship is the perfect way to dispel misconceptions about the T-Bag party. I

would have thought they'd choose a sport like Basketball, or Soccer.

:sarcasm:

12. Hooking up with NASCAR will help dispel the idea that the tea party is full of racists?
Ms Drooling knows exactly the message they are sending and who their target audience is.

And it'll be plastered all over the side of Lafferty's "We the White People" truck.

14. The vehicle should have TruckNutz hanging off the rear bumper..
in fact, they'd probably prefer it that way.
