Pro-Trump PAC to sponsor NASCAR team for next nine races
Corey LaJoie to drive the re-elect Trump car |
The political action committee (PAC) called Patriots for America that supports the 2020 reelection of President Donald Trump will sponsor a NASCAR Cup team for the next nine races, starting with this Sunday's race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
A public document filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) shows Patriots for America has paid $350,000 to Go Green Racing, Inc., and the car will be driven by Corey LaJoie.
The FEC document declares the federal candidate supported on the "moving display" is Donald J. Trump, who is seeking reelection as 45th President of the United States.
LaJoie will drive the No. 32 Ford with Go Fas Racing at the Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400 Powered by Big Machine Records on Sunday.
Go Fas owner Archie St. Hilaire said "I am honored to be part of the President's re-election campaign through the Patriots of America PAC. As a Trump 2020 supporter, this team will do everything possible to secure victory on and off the track electing President Donald Trump to a second term. Let us bring this country back and Keep America Great!"
Jeff Whaley, who represents Patriots of America, said "Our mission is to get voters registered and to the polls in November," Whaley said on NBC Sports. "We are excited about our sponsorship with Go Fas Racing No. 32 and Corey LaJoie. We feel this partnership is the best way to help us communicate this message to the NASCAR community and encourage all Americans to do their part by heading to the polls."
