Gentlemen, start your . . . political campaigns? Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s re-election campaign said Tuesday that he’s sponsoring Bobby Labonte’s car for the April 18 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Texas Motor Speedway. The car has the words “Governor Perry” painted on the hood, the campaign’s web address emblazoned on the sides and the message “Perry Governor 2010” on its back. Perry, who is running against Democrat Bill White in November’s election, said Labonte’s driving reminds him of Texas’ strong economy. Labonte is 33rd on the NASCAR money leaders list.
