Romney reaching out to white male voters at NASCAR race

Romney, the Republican presidential candidate facing President Barack Obama, will visit a NASCAR race on Saturday night in Virginia, targeting white male voters in a swing state where early voting begins in two weeks.

At the Daytona 500 event in February, Romney famously demonstrated he was not a fervent NASCAR fan, admitting as much before adding that he had "some friends who are NASCAR team owners." The comment opened the former private equity executive to criticism that he was out of touch with ordinary people.

He will try again on Saturday at the Federated Auto Parts 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Richmond International Raceway.

The sport has grown immensely in popularity, and political visits to NASCAR tracks have become a common tactic of Republicans eager to win white male voters.

It is currently raining in Richmond - the irony is palpable.
