Lane's crazy idea of the day

Bobby Labonte Barely after midnight, and I have already had my best crazy idea of the day...

In almost every form of motorsport, the drivers are festooned with the names of all of their benefactors. As Kurt Busch stands in Victory Lane, chugging a Coke, wearing a Miller hat, and holding a quart of Mobil1, all of us know that they pay his way. Of course those are the best products on the planet... they pay his check.

When Jimmy Johnson talks up Lowe's, or Jeff Gordon mentions his new energy drink, we know why. There is no question.

But, what I want to know is...

Who spent the big bucks for Hillary Clinton? What about Fred Thompson? John McCain? Barack Obama? Who paid for their last elections, and who is funding them now?

Maybe politicians should get nifty suits like NASCAR drivers. It would be interesting to see who's name shows up where.

Wouldn't that be fun?

I'm sure it would be a big surprise to find out who/which companies are sponsoring them. Or several to hedge their bets.

Now that really is a brilliant idea, Lane!!!! I'd love to know who's funding our presidential candidates. too.

Am very glad to know that Kurt Busch was chugging a Coke and holding a quart of oil instead of chugging the oil and holding the coke. :-)

Ulises - I would bet there would be surprises for different candidates as to who is paying the bills for their peers.

Nancy - I would bet there are days when EVERY race driver is glad that he or she can trust the handler that gives them the drinks. If not, there would be a lot of nasty things that would get sipped.
