Comments on the Trump 2020 car
Below are the collection of quotes about the race car:
Corey LaJoie: “With an estimated 75 million NASCAR fans out there, I was surprised that about 15 million of those fans are not registered voters,” said driver Corey LaJoie.
Lajoie added, “I will give my best effort to get NASCAR fans registered to vote, through our team efforts on and off the track. When they see the car, hopefully it makes them race to the polls in November.”
PAC’s mission to generate registered voters in battleground states.
Jeff Whaley: “Our mission is to get voters registered and to the polls in November. We are excited about our sponsorship with Go Fas Racing No. 32 and Corey LaJoie,” said Jeff Whaley on behalf of Patriots of America PAC.
Whaley added, “We feel this partnership is the best way to help us communicate this message to the NASCAR community and encourage all Americans to do their part by heading to the polls.”
Archie St. Hilaire is the owner of the Go Fas Racing team and has excitement regarding the new partnership.
Archie St. Hilaire: “I am honored to be part of the President’s re-election campaign through the Patriots of America PAC. As a Trump 2020 supporter, this team will do everything possible to secure victory on and off the track electing President Donald Trump to a second term. Let us bring this country back and Keep America Great!” said team owner Archie St. Hilaire.

Go Fas Racing won’t be the only car on the track with a political message of the sorts. Mike Harmon Racing will field two cars with the “We stand for the National Anthem” message.
Those cars will be piloted by Kyle Weatherman and Bayley Currey. The duo will run in the NASCAR Xfinity Series event.
The move by MHR comes as NASCAR has recently removed lines in the rule book that required members to stand for the National Anthem. The sport has opened the door for protests during the Anthem, without penalty.
Harmon’s team ran a re-elect Trump Pence car back in February at Daytona International Speedway. The same race weekend that saw the President pace the field ahead of the Daytona 500.
