Heath Shuler hopes to inject some horsepower into his U.S. House bid by renting advertising space on a racing car.
The campaign is spending $10,000 to put the Democrat's name on the No. 23 Chevrolet driven by Brad Keselowski during the NASCAR Busch Series event at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Friday night, spokesman Andrew Whalen said.
"It's an opportunity to reach out to voters in a different way," Whalen said. "Heath and the rest of the campaign staff are big NASCAR fans, so we're excited about this."
Shuler is trying to unseat eight-term Republican Rep. Charles Taylor in a district that covers the western tip of North Carolina.
