Corey LaJoie and his Donald Trump car were involved in a scary crash at the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. Donning a ‘Trump 2020’ paint scheme that is set to appear in eight more races, LaJoie’s No. 32 vehicle was involved in the early pile-up, forcing him to exit the competition.
Also involved was Ryan Preece, Martin Truex Jr., Justin Allgaier, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Brennan Poole, all of whom had to drop out after the accident. Most notably though, a crew member for Ryan Blaney was struck in the pit road crash and quickly was taken for medical treatment. This comes two weeks after Blaney was victorious at the Geico 500 in Talladega. As for LaJoie, he stole headlines heading into the race with his car’s new paint job. He became the first driver to insert himself into the upcoming election.

So a Trump super PAC sponsors a nascar driver in today’s race. The Trump car causes a wreck on pit road and runs over a pit crew guy….so 2020.

I’m pretty sure Trump cars do not have a good track record and either DNQ or just flat out wreck this year
