United States President Donald Trump’s reelection bid will accelerate this weekend with Trump 2020 as Corey LaJoie’s primary car sponsor for the Nasyard’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.
Go Fas Racing announced Wednesday that it had partnered with the Patriots of America Pac, a pro-Donald Trump Political Action Committee, for nine races, including the Cup Series race at the Brickyard.
“I am honored to be part of the President’s re-election campaign through Patriots of America Pac,” said Go Fas team owner Archie St Hilaire.

“As a supporter of Trump 2020, this team will do everything possible to ensure victory on and off the road by electing President Donald Trump for a second term.
“Let’s go back to this country and keep America great.”
LaJoie’s 32nd Ford Mustang will compete in a red, white, and blue livery and will have TRUMP 2020 decals on the hood and side panels.
In five seasons competing in the best Nascar series, LaJoie is still chasing a top-5 first and is currently 28th in the Cup standings.
“With an estimated 75 million Nascar fans, I was surprised that around 15 million of those fans are not registered voters,” said pilot Corey LaJoie.
“I will do my best to get Nascar fans to register to vote, through the efforts of our team on and off the track. When they see the car, I hope it makes them run to the polls in November. “
Trump has courted the Nascar vote and in February introduced himself as Grand Marshal at the Daytona 500, where he led a fast lap in his presidential limousine and called “Gentlemen, start your engines.”
Recently, however, Trump and Nascar have been on opposite sides of the debate over Confederate symbols.
Last month Nascar banned the Confederate flag, a symbol of oppression and slavery for many Americans, of all their races and events.
Meanwhile, Trump ruled out renaming the U.S. military bases named after the Confederate leaders, and demanded prison time for anyone caught smashing U.S. historic monuments.
Many statues and monuments attacked by crowds in recent weeks pay tribute to the nation’s rebellious Civil War Confederation and are viewed as tributes to those who perpetuated slavery.
