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.

To hell with you, NASCAR.
Sports are making me so angry. It used to be fun. I’m not even watching Breeders’ Cup today (or yesterday) because the jockeys and jockey clubs couldn’t resist going “woke” starting last year.
It makes me sad.
No, it’s not $$.
If they were so motivated, they wouldn’t care a whit about this woke nonsense.
They’ll lose alot of $$$ by alienating so many.
Indeed. I’m surprised there are so many still there after the BS of the last year, starting with St. Floyd and Bubba.
These people should NOT be in the stands.
Bingo!
Tell him to “then take off the damn mask!”
So you are vaxed?
“Which part of what I said about trademark protection was factually or legally incorrect?”
Copyright, not trademark.
“Which part of what I said about trademark protection was factually or legally incorrect?”
Copyright, not trademark.
Already did that.
Or should have, last year. I can’t believe so many fans are in the stands.
Let’s go NASCAR!
What is so hard about getting off the “Google phone platform”?
Why piss on your season finale event like this?

You are corrrect about C and TM infringements.
It’s a shame that companies have to look so petty in doing so. But they could lose all control of any distinct look and lose it in a sea of similars. Think McDonald’s simple M and colors, and what could happen.
"F You, Steve Phelps" has the same poetic meter as "Let's go, Brandon" and the original.
NASCAR fans may have a rumble with woke, tranny NOOSECAR management.
Thanks for bringing the thread back to earth. There is simply no basis for a lawsuit against fans simply chanting “Let’s Go Brandon”. Here is one more example of a misleading thread title. I do agree that NASCAR does wear its “wokeness” on its sleeve, however.
We really should be practical about this:
F**k Kamaltoe because bidet F**ks himself behind the gym!
That's been the case for many years...
Another “woke” corporate prick. “Let’s go Phelps”.
NASCAR already went woke and leftist.
Too late to proclaim no political bias 🤪
Welcome to reality and let’s go Brandon.
