SI.com has learned that for the first time in history, a major presidential candidate may sponsor a race car in NASCAR's premier series. According to sources, Barack Obama's campaign is in talks to become the primary sponsor of BAM Racing's No. 49 Sprint Cup car for the Pocono race on August 3. Details of the agreement are expected to be worked out over the coming days.


And yes, I'm TOTALLY getting the diecast!

I heard that yesterday. I think it's kind of cool.

If I had the money to burn I might want to do the same thing just for fun.

JOLIET, Ill. — NASCAR's BAM Racing team has presented Barack Obama's presidential campaign with a potential sponsorship deal in the Sprint Cup series later this year, but it doesn't look like an Obama car will be burning rubber on the track anytime soon.


The comments are pretty precious. Lots of worrying about carbon footprints and the advisability of using a team that races Toyota's...
