For decades Republican presidential candidates having been heading to the racetrack to lockdown the “NASCAR dad” vote, but Mitt Romney’s pandering at the Daytona 500 on Sunday may have backfired.
A reporter from The Associated Press casually asked the candidate if he followed the sport.
“Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans,” Romney said. “But I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners.”
Democratic Party Communications Director Brad Woodhouse wasted no time before mocking the former Bain Capital CEO. “I don’t know people who fish but I know people who own yachts,” he tweeted.
