Now, you too can experience the thrill of shelling out money to sponsor a genuine NASCAR Cup car.
Thanks to Humpy Wheeler, for just $5 bucks you also get to support fundraising for the Democratic National Committee and its convention in Charlotte ( no thank you, Humpy) .
No mention of whose car your name gets on when or where or whether you get liability insurance to protect you if the car winds up in the grandstands.
Wheelers offer: your name on stock car

Charlottes host committee for the 2012 convention emailed more than 250,000 people around the country last week with a fundraising pitch that was pure Carolinas.
For a $5 contribution, these would-be donors were told, they will be listed as sponsors on the conventions official Powered by the American People stock car.
The e-letter was signed by longtime Charlotte racing promoter H.A. Humpy Wheeler and is designed to help the Charlotte in 2012 committee raise the $37 million it needs to pay for the convention in September.
Im proud that my home state was chosen to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention and excited to share some of the Southern hospitality that we are known for in the Carolinas, Wheeler says in the letter.
Im even more proud that the Convention will kick off with a free, family-friendly, Labor Day celebration at the place I spent the majority of my career at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The stock car will also be part of that Labor Day party and other events leading up to the convention at Time Warner Cable Arena in uptown Charlotte .
