NASCAR denounced its association with the “Let's go, Brandon” political cry being used across the country as an insult directed at President Joe Biden. Steve Phelps, NASCAR's president, said Friday the top motorsports series in the United States does not want to be associated with politics “on the left or the right.”
Phelps also said NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel wearing a black “Let's go, Brandon” shirt alongside NASCAR's trademarked color bars.
“We will pursue whoever (is using logos) and get that stuff,” Phelps said. “That's not OK. It's not OK that you're using our trademarks illegally, regardless of whether we agree with what the position is.”
Brandon Brown won his first career NASCAR race in October in Alabama, and the Talladega Superspeedway crowd at the Xfinity Series race chanted “F— Joe Biden" during Brown's interview. It was not clear if NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast, who was wearing a headset, could hear what the crowd was saying during the interview, and she incorrectly told Brown the fans were cheering “Let's go, Brandon.”
The phrase has become a rallying cry for Biden's critics, and “Let’s go, Brandon” is now conservative code for the original vulgar chant.
“It's an unfortunate situation and I feel for Brandon, I feel for Kelli,” Phelps said. “I think unfortunately it speaks to the state of where we are as a country. We do not want to associate ourselves with politics, the left or the right.”

Oh well.
Stolen Elections come at a very high price and bring with them dire consequences.
Let’s Go Brandon!!
#FJB
Phelps is free to wear a skirt now!
Checkmate. Game over. You nailed it.
If Biden and the Democrats had the power to shut down NASCAR and auto racing, they would.
What does history teach us about similar political slogans? Some take hold, some not.
Just an honest question.
“Let them eat cake.”
Oh. She could hear alright.

NASCAR has a President?
Wow.
Did he get 81 million votes?
Well I’m not happy that NASCAR doesn’t want the Confederate battle flag at it’s events any more. They have completely forgotten their roots. And there was thunder, thunder over thunder roads!
(The ringtone is on GooglePlay, get it for a dollar!)
Is the more apt original fjb available??
Oh yeah, NASCAR is all about not getting into the politics of the left or right. Hey, is that a NOOSE?!?!
FYI-The MSM started "Let's go Brandon" with their lying, and trying to cover up crowds yelling "FJB!"
Why say anything at all?
Obviously, many people are upset with the unelected, illegal occupant, of D.C.
NooseCar should have stayed out of it.
Here in Arizona’s Second Congressional District, we say “Let’s Go Brandon” Martin with alacrity! My yard sign will serve double duty this election cycle!
Tell it to the reporter who lied.
Hey Phelps - Stuff it you weenie. Let’s make NASCAR even less popular.
Methinks he could breathe if he took off that effing mask.
I’m positive someone from NBC had a sit down with them.
