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.

Get Woke/Go Broke
Ah yes, a gradual shift from NASCAR to ‘ASSCAR’
That is one way to alienate fans.

“Hey, maybe we should do one of those waves.”
The early racers were hungry, blue collar, wrench turners; the new generation is SJW, silver spoon kids, all about Corp sponsorship. They have ruined so much of stock car racing. Its just not fun anymore.
All this “gradual shifting” is what’s taking the country right down the crapper.
People in marketing are always aiming for the young.
We all basically turn into pumpkins at age 50 where they are concerned.
America’s young people have, for the most part, completely swallowed the Kool-Aid of Leftism.
People in corporate marketing roles can see this and are advising their employers to reposition themselves to “progressive” positions ASAP in order to preserve their market share in the future.
Add to this well-designed Twitter outrage campaigns by activists, and yes, they are successfully roiling the culture.

I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son

Pumpkins spend money, they seem to forget that.
First they banned Rebel flags and now it’s guns. Expect attendance to fall off sharply.
younger people don’t particularly like anything...not football, not baseball, even basketball has had a down turn in attendence, at least in the college ranks....
There is a whole list of products which are tanking because Millenials don’t buy them. Paper napkins, fabric softener and breakfast cereals come to mind.
How many teen age boys pretend they're a NASCAR driver and speed?
NASCAR went politically correct years ago. Local tracks are better.
Meh. I would care more but I haven’t really followed Nascar much since the car of tomorrow stupidity.
NASCAR is dead, Jim.
