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.
Steve Phelps is worst than a stooge, he is a bootlicking liberal. He is poking the bear, NACCAR fans, and expecting them to sit quietly at the races. Think the last race was loud, it will be beyond loud now.

That's a media lie about a media lie. Classic!
This would be a good time for a inch of the race cars paint Let’s Go Brandon on the sides and when this Democrat complains, SUE THEM because they already ALLOW POLITICAL ADVERTISING on the Race Cars, see Black Thugs Matter
What a garbage company.
Phelps is A HUGE DemonRAT .
This guy bought this purposely to peddle his Left wing Agenda .
Stop attending .
I am with you. For me NASCAR has gone the way of nfl - nba - mlb etc etc on my watch list.
Let’s avoid pro sports.
No ya don't.
who’s the lefty asshole? Im sure he’s never been to Compton after midnight nor Long Beach after midnight.
I vote for your idea.
How could they stop it, or enforce it ? They can’t.
Have been now for a while. And I use to watch all the time.
Yeah, that right there is some authentic frontier gibberish by that guy. F him.
These guys practically have a license to print money in NASCAR, and they are $&@cking up three ways to Sunday. Maybe the “Infrastructure Bill” and all the other phony-balogna confetti-buck cash is making its way to these corporate wankers. If he truly “doesn’t want to get involved”, then don’t say anything. What an idiot.
It doesn’t make any sense to royally piss off your customers. Business 101 for about 5000 years, it’s just a little too cute by half that all these major corporations suddenly feel emboldened to let their freak flag fly all of a sudden all at once out of the blue to eleventy with a painfully obvious Gleischaultung that would make even Goebells blush. Sure has an odor about it anyway.
I agree. He doesnt care and pretends to be. If he has a chance to get rid of Brandon legally, he would. However, i do sort of care about Brandon because I’ve read he’s having difficulty getting sponsors after it. He’s in a position of being the poster boy of the F Biden revolution, and I doubt he’s comfortable with it.
Yeah they should keep doubling down on censoring what people say and think. That should work out real well.
Please don’t stall out trying to keep that banner intact.

Parody, satire and political speech were all solidly protected by the courts in old America.
NASCAR should realize right outta the pits that their fans don’t care one iota about their threats. They’re gonna do what they wanna do... or they won’t show up, and that would kill the sport outright.
Sue NBC then.
