Campaigns are often won by appealling to the LCD on issues. Graham has just figured out that his voter base can be expanded just like the market share of Tide and Stacker 2.

What about the ultimate example of "The Call" back in the 1984 Firecracker 400, with President Reagan there to watch. (And Petty was a pretty big Reagan Supporter.)

Here's an interesting link: Reagan Visits The Radio Booth During the Firecracker 400 (http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/resource/speeches/1984/70484b.htm)
