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.
What a crock!
That would be about 99% of fans... The 1% could pose next to garage door pulls and pretend it's 1964 and they're heroes rather than idiots.
If I were a NASCAR fan this would motivate me to chant it and FJB endlessly at every NASCAR event.
Then I support chanting the original with “and NASCAR” as an addendum.
It’s more like Phelps opposes using the copyrighted NASCAR logo along with the slogan, “Let’s Go, Brandon.”
If the use of the NASCAR logo were to persist, it could affect the organization’s ability to control the commercial use of the logo.
I live in Western North Carolina and am surrounded with dirt tracks. They are more exciting to me than Daytona, Talladega, etc. I must be reverting to my old Daytona beach/road racing days. (Yes, I’m THAT old.)

While he was “caught” y everyone else, Nascar ignored it and even celebrated Bubba over and over over the issue, still clzi ing it was racism. They played to the blm crowd big time, and still are, handing Bubba a “win” by allowing him to get to the front right before the rain caused the end of the race, in which he “won”, and gosh wouldn’t ya know it, it was during g “black pride month” too.
Nascar is now Bubba Bubba Bubba, 24/7, and blm crap too.
Even most of the drivers were in on the hoax, showing their “support” for poor victimized Bubba, even after it was proven that the rope was a garage tie, and NOT a noose. He stil. Whines about it today, and has directly slammed all the Nascar fans who didn’t beleive his blatant lie, and who called him out on it.
Bubba, because of what he pulled,, and his ongoing hatred of white folks znd his support for the domestic terrorist group blm, is a disgrace to Nascar, and Nascar leaders are a disgrace to the sport with all their woke crap and blm placating. Blm is a racist terrorist organization, along with antifa, who have been Involved with billions in damages, murders, and terrorizing people based on color and affiliation to trump, and for anyone to support them, is just shameful.
Nascar is ruined, not because a black man is a driver, but because of anti-white racism within the league leaders and with that one black driver who decided his driving skills weren’t good enough, so he had to pull and a ti-wnite racist hoax to get more attention, and to support a terrorist group called blm.
I dont care what color a driver is, just as long as they shut up and drive- quit being drama queens, and stop with the idiotic anti-white racism crap. Everyone, red, white. Brown black or whatever. Just shut up and drive. Let your driving speak for you, and no matter what your color is, You will have tons of support.
Bubba had tons of support, myself included, BEFORE he pulled that disgusting hoax! Now Nascar is hated by many long time fans because of all the disgusting g woke crap going on, and racist hoaxes, and their support for terror groups.
Great way to destroy their fan base.
Stopped watching nascar when they stopped using Stock Cars
Let’s Go NASCAR!
That is how I read it too, but you just know that he also doesn’t like hearing the term let’s go Brandon because it is an insult to his hero. Phelps is a liar and race baiter who fomenting a hoax to keep the racism going as ,one as possible by not condemning the hoax, when it was discovered to be a hoax. Dale Jr is also a liar and race baiter for how he supported Bubba and condemned folks who called Bubba out for his blatant lies. Dale and ilk are now nonstop blm and Bubba promoters, who apparently think that it’s more Importent to support liars and violent groups like blm, than it is to support their huge former fan base.
I was thinking “Let’s go, Bubba!”
I wonder if towns wWil, support a “Lets Go Brandon” sign a block or so long, painted on a street in large bright colors like they allow the terrorist organization blm to paint their racist logo everywhere?
NASCAR can eject fans for behavior they object to, but they have no legal grounds whatsoever for suing them.
Former NASCAR fan here .... I’m not “woke”, I’m AWAKE. When NASCAR morphed to NOOSECAR, that was it for me. The only NOOSECAR I’ve watched this year is the clip of the Brandon interview when the reported turned FJB in LGB .... hilarious.
That is good!
Is Phelps so rich that he doesn’t care if NASCAR makes money or not? Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post to use for spreading lies. Bezos does not care if the WaPo makes money or not.
Wow. Sue the fans....
Marketing is not the strong suit at NASCAR HDQRS.
The nuts that now run NASCAR have completely lost their minds. They’re going to sue the fans that pay to see their product. I don’t think this is going to be a winning strategy.
