“Now it’s war.”

Brandon Brown is the NASCAR driver that indirectly began the “Let’s Go Brandon” movement. The driver of the No. 68 NASCAR Xfinity Series car drove to victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway. He climbed from his car on the front stretch for a quick post-race interview. In the background

No surprise NASCAR TV ratings have collapsed. They are going to fall even further. Deservedly so.

There’s plenty of racing, NASCAR doesn’t have a monopoly.

If the big dogs at NASCAR were clever, they would allow the LGB sponsor for race-car driver Brandon, for two reasons: it trivializes the phrase, and it makes NASCAR look like it agrees with its right-wing base without actually having to agree, which is exactly what the exploiters of the base (RINOs) do all the time. Of course, they aren’t clever, so they make a stink about the sponsoring, and lose all around: the wokesters aren’t going to love NASCAR any more than they do now (which is very little), and the base is going to get resentful and walk away.

"...Although, now that I think about it a white car might be racist..."

Even better. Not to be racist, but to specifically point out the absolute inane racial stupidity of the Left.

That is a brilliant idea!

I see it like the thing with tattoos.

If you went somewhere where EVERYONE was walking around with tattoos covering every visible patch of their skin, being the only one that was completely devoid of tattoos would make you the only individual there, and it would be impossible for people to ignore or not see you. They wouldn't be able to help it.

And, after all, what are the decals painted on the bodies of the cars they are racing but tattoos?

Brilliant.

Now, I don't know this guy. I don't know what he is like, or who he is as a person. I also sympathize that, largely due to NOTHING he has done, he has become an enemy to people. He just wanted to race, and his sponsors and NASCAR want to remove his livelihood, the way the current administration wants to remove mine with their vaccine mandates. I have said from day one he should embrace it, because there very people we oppose, and NASCAR fans would be expected to dislike and reject, are the very people who are trying to take away his livelihood due to their politics.

I hope, if he isn't a conservative, this mugging drives him wholly into our camp, and he fights them with all he has...and succeeds.

If he doesn't, it is clear he won't have a career.

It was sort of done once in F1 in the 1970s when James Hunt drove for Hesketh. Lord Hesketh was wealthy enough to not need sponsors. This is a pic of the sponsor free Hesketh. The printing on the Goodyear tires might be the only brand label but there is no sticker on the car itself.

I have always assumed that most NASCAR fans are southerners who tend to be conservative. Hard to understand how NASCAR has gone so totally woke. Today's country music scene seems to be the same way.

This will go to court, and NASCAR will end up paying the company at least a couple million.

As for Brandon Brown, and his racing path...I think the only to do is to change his name. I was thinking of the name ‘Joe Biden’. All the woke people would come out and sponsor him then. (sarcasm off)

For some reason, this isn't seen as a problem by NA_CAR:

Note: The "S" in NASCAR is deleted because this is not "stock car" racing.

Hmmmmm.... I wonder what CHANT will be loudly repeated over and over and over again at every NASCAR race during the 2022 season?

Legally change his name to F*@# Joe Biden and make the announcers say it when he races.

No more NASCAR for me.

Let the global warming, woke idiots support their gas guzzling, air polluting sport.

So again, proof that corps are leftist-leaning, or at least they most worry about alienating leftists. Must hold the leftist narrative. OK to offend the many AmErica-loving capitalists.
