Dick Day: racing in the street?

No doubt about it, GOP congressional candidate Dick Day has a way of getting his name out, whether by hanging with the immigration reduction crowd shrieking in Austin or turning up at county fairs and race tracks.

In Born to race, the Waseca County News reports that one way state senator Dick Day has promoted his candidacy is by being a sponsor to a race team:

Luck, however, has been on Jared Boumeester and his racing team’s side as of late during his runs in Deer Creek, Minn., south of Rochester, where he races on Saturdays. This entire month the Jared Boumeester team — which has sponsors such as Congressional hopeful Dick Day, Dirt Track Financial and Select Motors — has been one of the top five finishers out of roughly 25-30 fellow racers.

A racing fan, Senator Day sought to bring NASCAR to Minnesota. He and Brian Davis of Rochester are vying for the GOP nomination in the September 9 primary. The winner will have the honor of losing to Tim Walz in November.
