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.
Look at that idiot, wearing a T-shirt saying I can’t breathe...while wearing a mask over his face.
Simple.....No one show up. Starve the beast. But, that won’t happen.
First they took away your flag.
Second they propagated a lie from someone that is “HALF WHITE” and probably doesn’t deserve to be there, anyway.(Amazing how they never show his parents.)
Third, they hand that same guy a win, during a rain delay with about half the race left, as he was sitting under an umbrella, probably watching Netflix.
Unfortunately, there are enough people in this country that need the escape and the chance to dream as they watch cars go really fast and turn left as they continue to support an organization that looks down its collective nose at all of them.
All the while, think to themselves.....I could do that if I had the car, the money and the practice.....ha ha ha ha
Let’s go brandon can refer to anyone or anything. Recall all the memes about “blonde Karens”??
Fine. Everyone go back to “F-— Joe Biden”.
I wonder how much it would cost to buy some FJB space on a NOOSECAR...
That’s not family friendly. Howzabout his initials, FJB?
That said...they’re going to sue the fans? Whoa.
Make that ex-fans.

I used to be a huge NASCAR fan. I loved the ingenuity, the personalities, the love and hate of fans, drivers, brands, owners, etc.
NASCAR became its own IROC series with identical cars, innovation limitations, and a complete lack of personality.
I did not attend or watch a single race last year and this year, I watched about 30 disappointing laps at Martinsville.
Racing fans have left NASCAR and will never return.
another sport commits suicide
Just curious. Why can I not find a bio about him? No wikipedia entry, nothing.
Who is this tool?
Not only should they cease and desist from infringing the First Amendment, they should hold an awards ceremony for whoever thought of turning this left-wing media attempt on its head with the Go Brandon slogan. Not only comedy gold but sheer PR genius.
Good catch! You honestly can’t make it up.
Sounds like we’ll be hearing LET’S GO STEVE at the next races.
All big monopolies depend on government to keep their monopoly. NFL, NASCAR or Google - the same rule applies.
“It’s an unfortunate situation and I feel for Brandon”
WHY??? he prolly loves it!!!
Oh boo hoo buttercup...
What ever happened to the claim that a hangman’s noose was found in an Amazon Warehouse in CT last spring? That story died real fast!
I got 30 days in Facebook when I showed it was not a hangman’s noose. I simply posted a Google drawing on how to make a real noose. BAM! Instant 30 days.
“misheard”.....riiiiiigggght
