this is a new version of the Jeffrey Earnhardt / Oath Keepers car with the "Live Free or Die" logo added for today's race in the "Live Free or Die" state. The qualifying already aired today at 10:05 am ET on ESPN2 but the coverage for today's race is on national TV this time starting at 3:00 pm ET on ABC.

Where did he qualify for the start of the race?

What are they doing to improve his poor performance in qualifying/racing from the previous weeks?



You've gotta be up front in the top 10 to get coverage on national TV... until then, your just spinning your wheels with irrelevant glimpses of OATH KEEPERS message on the car.

after watching two of these races so far with Jeffrey racing this is definitely true, they only seem to focus on the lead cars in the race and pretty much never show anyone else unless there are involved in some kind of wreck. It sucks and this race may not be any different but i wouldn't be so down about it, according to Stewart Rhodes (http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2013/07/09/call-to-action-final-stretch-of-fundraiser-to-put-live-free-or-die-oath-keepers-car-on-track-in-new-hampshire-this-weekend/) Oath Keepers has amassed 4,000 new members as a result of the campaign (probably from outreach efforts such as this (https://twitter.com/JEarnhardt1/status/340626408357392384)), and I don't really think they could have afforded to buy a sponsorship on someone's car who is a top racer. Plus Jeffrey is a supporter of Oath Keepers and what they stand for, and I don't know how many of the other racers would have been willing to advertise for the Oath Keepers or participate in the outreach efforts, so there is still a lot to be happy about with this.

Never even watched it, simulated it in video games.
Hope he wins though !

I've actually seen a couple decent shots of his car racing today. Probably helps that it is a pretty short track so the cars may be more bunched together.

31 now. Live Free or Die! Btw, the event tomorrow, the main race, is usually the largest sporting event in New England. It happens in rural Loudon, New Hampshire. That is also where the motel for the 2012 New Hampshire Youth for Paul was located.

I think that's the last race with the Oath Keepers car.

Not happy :( I know there are other NASCAR races. Heck, there is even another race weekend in New Hampshire in September.
