NEWS: Pot TV network backs cannabis car in Roseville NASCAR event

If you no longer notice the advertisements for Budweiser, Marlboro or Viagra on the cars NASCAR drivers thunder around the oval, this one might get your attention.

At the NASCAR-sanctioned K & N pro-series at the All-American Speedway in Roseville, one car Saturday night will be featuring a giant marijuana leaf.

The entry by Dynamic Motorsports of Sacramento will feature the logo of Cannabis Planet, a pot-themed television program that airs on cable stations in Los Angeles and San Diego and hopes to launch in Sacramento next month.

"NASCAR has sponsorships from alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals," said Brad Lane, executive producer of Cannabis Planet Productions of Sunset Beach. "We think it is high time that cannabis is represented."
