Racing league NASCAR has attacked the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant, castigating the sport’s conservative fans in favor of a political alliance with the corporate media and the Left.
Steve Phelps, the president of the corporation, said that NASCAR does not want to he associated with the saying, which originated from an interview following a race. An NBC personality misheard NASCAR fans chanting “F*** Joe Biden,” instead translating the words from the crowd as “Let’s Go Brandon,” believing the fans to be referencing driver Brandon Brown.
“It’s an unfortunate situation and I feel for Brandon, I feel for [NBC News personality] 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.”
“Do we like the fact that it kind of started with NASCAR and then is gaining ground out elsewhere? No, we’re not happy about that,” said Phelps. Liberal media personalities have increasingly freaked out over the popularity of the slogan, flabbergasted that members of the public would dare to criticize the presidential throne.
Phelps threatened lawsuits against NASCAR fans who use what they claim is copyrighted league imagery in Let’s Go Brandon merchandise. Some have sold t-shirts and material with racing stripes resembling NASCAR’s logo, although it’s unclear if a copyright claim from the league would have any merit.
NASCAR’s fans trend overwhelmingly conservative, but the “sport’s” leadership are affiliated with the media-corporate elite of the Democratic Party. A driver of the league was caught pushing a hate hoax last year, falsely claiming that a simple garage door pull in his car stall was a noose intended as a symbol of racial hatred.
:That would be a trademark issue, not a copyright issue. Where do these folks buy their law degrees?”
Obviously at a better place than where you bought yours!
Democrat stooges everywhere...
Best of success to you. Hold out and hold on.

***A lot like the unions these days. Rank & file are conservative but the ‘leadership’ is libtard.
He can’t drive either!
Bill France Jr. allowed NBC to infect NASCAR with all of its diversity bullsh*t. All this happened after Earnhardt died and now NASCAR can FOAD!
Sure 🙄
Time for them to hear silence from the stands...
Somebody really needs to put this Black Lives Matter dude in the wall hard...
“We’re going to tell you what you can and can’t shout, but don’t call it censorship. In fact, use of the word censorship is forbidden.” Somebody just threw racing fuel on the fire.
That stunt was the end of my 40 year NASCAR fandom.
.....An NBC personality misheard NASCAR fans chanting “F*** Joe Biden,” instead translating the words from the crowd as “Let’s Go Brandon,”......
NO!!!! She did not “mishear” the chant—she just translated it into something more acceptable!!!!
Let’s Go, Brandon!!!!
Which part of what I said about trademark protection was factually or legally incorrect?
NASCAR hasn’t been worth a damn after Tony Stewart retired as driver. Return to dirt tracks, or shut it down.
Good catch.
Ironic he is wearing a face mask and a shirt that says “I can’t breath.”

The people who created NASCAR are rolling over in their graves.
That noose incident was funny, revealed how dumb Steve Phelps was.
