NDIANAPOLIS – A NASCAR team will debut a red, white and blue car with a “Trump 2020” label featured on it during an Independence Day weekend race.

Patriots of American PAC partnered with the Go Fas Racing team for nine races during the 2020 season.

The car will be driven by Corey LaJoi at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.

LaJoi has not commented on the politically driven theme.

He never runs near the front, usually finishing mid pack a lap or two down, on his good days.

Crashed after a quarter lap. Pretty much ended his career.

Corey LaJoie's racing stats:

https://www.racing-reference.info/driver/Corey_LaJoie

In five non-consecutive years at the top level of NASCAR:
108 races (162 races were run during this time frame, so for some reason he didn't run 54 of the races he could have.)
No poles
No wins
No Top 5 finishes
6 laps led
2 Top 10s in 2019 and 1 in 2020

For those of you who are not race fans, these are the numbers of a man who is a worse stock car racer than Trump is a president.
