Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is getting into NASCAR. Well not actually into a car but on the car.  Obama is finalizing a deal that would make him the primary sponsor on Ken Schrader’s car during the NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway on August 3rd.

A BAM spokesperson has revealed the team will hold a press conference July 23 in Miami to reveal the partnership, currently a proposed one-race deal with an option to continue. Obama will be at the briefing, which will be tied to the “Get Out The Vote” campaign message he spread throughout the 2008 primary season.

Sources claim one of the options being considered would allow individual campaign donors to get their name on the race car for as little as $100. Obama will also be present for a second private fundraiser on July 30 in Miami, in which team owners Beth Ann and Tony Morgenthau — staunch Republicans — will give the Democrat an opportunity to spread his message of change. Randy Moss and Fergie are among the celebrities confirmed to be a part of that fundraiser in support of the candidate and his venture into NASCAR.

Obama continues to be extremely smart running his campaign and reaching out to people from all walks of life.  He will be hoping and praying Schrader can quality for the race which has been a challenge for him this year.  If he can qualify for the race it will benefit Barack that he likely will be going much slower than the other cars.  Everyone can be sure to see Barack’s face and name on the car that way.
