The NRA tweeted:
The NRA-ILA reports the rejected ad was from K-Var, and “included depictions of ‘assault-style rifles/sniper rifles.'” NASCAR’s media sales company told K-Var the racing giant is undergoing a “gradual shift in (its) position on guns.”
K-Var’s blog reported the entire quote from National Event Publications, which is NASCAR’s media sales company:
We just heard from NASCAR on a number of gun related ads and unfortunately, due a gradual shift in NASCAR’s position on guns, these ads must be edited/changed—especially those that are depicted as assault-style rifles/sniper rifles. NASCAR is still open to some of the less controversial gun accessories, concealed carry, or classes.
NASCAR’s changing position on guns follows Dick’s Sporting Good’s February 2018 decision to ban the sell of commonly owned semiautomatic rifles. Moreover, the change in NASCAR advertisement is occurring at exactly the same time as Walmart, Kroger, and Walgreens are banning open carry in their stores.

Well, that’s a real drag
no football no racing what’s next?
Get woke, go broke.....
NASCAR is already in trouble with the public, attendance and viewers down. They must want that trend to continue.
Get woke, go broke.
Slippery slope picking up speed.
Starting to see smoke coming from the engine compartment...
.
So NASCAR is opposed to semi-automatic rifles AND bolt action long guns.
When NASCAR discovers that most gun murders are committed using handguns, they will ban those as well.
And that will leave just a few shotguns available under the second amendment. But shotguns are so nasty not even the military is allowed to use them in combat against enemy soldiers.
They have a reason for banning everything.
NASCAR gets woke?
They’ll go the way of Gillette: broke.
It costs a lot of money to race in NASCAR and since their corporate sponsors do not want to be associated with anything controversial for fear of losing sales NASCAR is going along with the anti-gunners. Too bad NASCAR is leaving the dance with someone different that brung ‘em. But they lost me when they let Toyota in.
I watched a bit of the Brickyard 400 and there was hardly anyone in the stands. They probably didn’t even make enough to open the Speedway.
I only watch and support F1 and IndyCar Racing. Gave-up on NASCAR years ago. Boring crap.
Is there any alternative? Maybe one that requires a team to field a “stock” car that is available for the public to buy?
One by one the institutions that built and made America great and distinctly American are committing suicide.
I had to opportunity to watch a few laps at Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday..So many empty seats..closed sections...the optics were awful...
NASCAR lost the bond with fans. “Win on Sunday. Sell on Monday” no longer holds true. Stock cars aren’t “stock” anymore.
They can GFT
I would say “Good-bye, NASCAR”, but I can’t. Those twatwaffles lost my support several years ago.
