Republican White House hopeful Rick Santorum had his "Made in the USA" campaign messaging adorning the hood and quarter panels of Tony Raines' No. 26 Ford Fusion in the Daytona 500.
"NASCAR and the Daytona 500 are about as American as you can get, and it's great to have my campaign represented by one of these incredible machines," Santorum said in a press release. "The race weekend is a wonderful tradition that we're excited to be a part of as we spread our message. I like how Tony Raines turned some heads last weekend with his qualifying run, and we'd like to keep turning heads, too. I think we're both looking for a win in the end."
The trouble for the Santorum campaign, though, is that no one seems to have advised the campaign that the Fusion is actually made in Ford's Hermasillo, Mexico factory.
