Nascar Puts Faith in Dianetics

Nascar is opening up sponsorship to just about anyone with a checkbook, including the Scientologists.

On Saturday June 10 at the Irwindale Speedway Kenton Gray was scheduled to compete in a super late model race with a Ford Taurus emblazoned with the Dianetics logo, courtesy of sponsor Bridge Publishing, which sells the book.

Apparently the power of positive thinking wasn't enough to propel Gray to victory as he wasn't listed among the qualifiers who finished the race.

Since we now have shampoos and accountants sponsoring race cars, why not Hollywood's favorite belief system?

Perhaps Tom Cruise will take the wheel for Days of Thunders II: Hubbard's Revenge to show that Scientologists are excellent drivers.

~I'm interested if any of you have noticed any Dommie foaming at the mouth over this yet.
