This wouldn't have been an issue if Brandon's original sponsors hadn't pulled out over the "Let's Go Brandon" nonsense.

It wasn't Brandon's fault, but there are bills to pay if you want to go racing.

Strictly politics by NASCAR. They really want to fail, it appears.

NASCAR driver Brandon Brown who inadvertently sparked 'Let's Go Brandon!' anti-Biden chant says he has been CANCELLED: Phrase has made it 'extremely difficult' for him to get sponsorship

NASCAR driver Brandon Brown - who unintentionally sparked the phrase 'Let's Go Brandon!' - says the popularity of the phrase has effectively killed his hopes of signing sponsorship deals.

Brown, 28, started the national anti-Biden chant after NBC sports reporter Kelli Stavast confused the crowd jeering 'F*** Joe Biden' for 'Let's Go Brandon!' at a NASCAR event in Alabama on October 2.

The pro-racing driver has now spoken out on the effect the chant had on his professional career as he has had a hard time finding sponsors, saying he's viewed as a ticking time bomb despite never expressing any political views, beyond disclosing that he is a Republican.

It got extremely difficult for us,' Brown told Sports Business Journal. 'If you're a national corporation, that means you sell to all consumers … and unfortunately, when you get dragged into the political arena, people want you to take a side.

'I've never been put in a position where it's, "OK, what side are you on? Left or right?" So it’s hard for a brand to want to attach to somebody who might be kind of divisive in their consumer base. If I'm going to divide Coca-Cola, why would they want to talk to me?

'So the short answer is it's been tough to connect with partnerships just because it's kind of viewed as a ticking time bomb: "What is he doing to choose or say and how would that effect our consumer base?" It's too much of a risk. I understand it on their side but it's made it really hard to tie everything down.'

The NASCAR gang might just be the dumbest woke bunch of all. Their fan base is running away fastest than their cars and the fools are still tied to the back of Bubba Wallace’s car being dragged through the mud.

I LOVE IT.
Chants from the bleachers will bring down the little tyrants who have completely lost any understanding of the founding principles of NASCAR.

If “LGB” is verboten maybe Brandon should try a LGBTQ car?

Sports are just live TV programming now. They long ago ceased to be about athletic endeavor.

We should crowd fund him and have him run a blank white colored car. No sponsors. That would be a powerful statement on its own. Although, now that I think about it a white car might be racist.

As long as the lawyers are filing lawsuits, file one against the dipsh!t ‘reporter’ and the network for their part in it. Let’s have all the dirty laundry on display.

I thought of the crowdfunding thing the other day. Would be a strong statement against woke corporations.

That NBC reporter sure put Brandon in the middle of a political mess.

So NASCAR allows a BLM sponsored car but not LGBitcoin? They just lost almost all of what was left of a fan base.

NASCAR probably fears the government more than its angry fans. They figure if they allow the LGB to stay, they’ll soon be hearing from the IRS, FBI, OSHA, and other federal agencies. Expect to see more of this in 2022 and beyond.
