A pair of reports yesterday lead me to question the sanity of the management of NASCAR, the privately held giant of the sport of stock car racing. While I am far from an expert on auto racing, and have never been to a NASCAR race, I have a rough idea of who attends their races and what the political preferences of the fans are.
The first report comes via Breitbart:
NASCAR has officially canceled driver Brandon Brown’s sponsorship deal with the “Let’s Go Brandon” cryptocurrency purveyor.
At the end of December, Brown announced that he was signing a deal for LGBcoin to sponsor his race team going forward. Brown later revealed that NASCAR sent a written letter approving the deal, so they went forward and even spent the money to make up the car’s LGBcoin paint scheme.
But on Jan. 3, NASCAR abruptly put a halt to the deal, telling Brown that the decision to allow the sponsorship needed to be “reviewed at a higher level” in the NASCAR leadership.
Now it appears that NASCAR has officially denied Brown’s request to sanction to LGBcoin sponsorship deal, according to the Washington Times.
NASCAR claims that, as far back as November, they made it clear that no wording or imagery referencing the “Let’s Go, Brandon” chant would be allowed, according to the Washington Post.
The second report comes from Nascar.com:
Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest LGBT Chambers within the region pushing for equitable change within the workplace and marketplace, announced Wednesday that NASCAR will become the organization’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion partner for the 2022 term. This is the first time NASCAR has partnered with an LGBT Chamber of Commerce.

Well...Get Woke Go Broke.
Actually, I identify with the LGBT crowd—Let’s Go Brandon Tribe!
LOL some of the worst atrocities against the American people are committed by privately-held enterprises. Just ask the Major sports leagues that have gone off the woke deep end along with their billionaire owners. We’re at the point where the woke networks would happily cancel NASCAR if it doesn’t toe the line even if billionaires cost each other money.
IMO someone was behind the scenes pulling the strings when the drunken pill-popper, Brainless France, was running the show. That was when NASCAR was doing great ..and GROWING! Then that same someone decided to go “Hollywood”. Brainless (aka Brian) France did not have the intellect to envision or enact that transition. Now that Mike Helton is “in charge”, that same someone is still yanking the ropes.
I thought that when France fell down and Helton took over that NASCAR would be able to stop hemorrhaging fans, stop garbage like the COT etc........I WAS WRONG!!!
The hype given Danika Patrick, given to Daniel Suarez, a decent driver but still just a tool for the woke crowd, followed by the accolades heaped on Bubba Wallace before he accomplished anything or drew a garage stall at Talladega showed me just how foolish I was.
For me, the final straw was the pre-race pitch by Suarez followed by the parade down pit road at Talladega. Now with this LGB nonsense NASCAR, NBC and the rest of the media are deservedly becoming the butt of jokes. All I can do is SMH at the way NOOSECAR has destroyed itself. The sad part is all the little people who worked at and around the tracks who have or will lose jobs because of this idiocy
Say it again…
Get woke. Go broke. (Gonna miss watching Kyle Larson repeat though.) oh, well.
The Marxists are infiltrating everything.
Personally, I'm LGBTQ: Let's Get Biden To Quit!
It has been proven that the sports leagues can admonish its own patrons in any number of ways, and the patrons will continue their undying support. I have no sympathy for ‘the fans’ when they are so addicted to muh sports, they behave exactly like battered house wives.
Who wants to see cars go round and round and round and round and round. Unless there’s a multiple fiery crash with fatalities. Let’s face it. That’s the only reason to watch.
What these morons don’t get is that the leftists they’re trying to suck up to couldn’t care less about their level of wokeness. They just see another American institution committing suicide to prove its woke status, and think, “Great, another one down.” “Boy Scouts? - Check”, “Churches? - Check”, “NFL? - Check”, and now “NASCAR? - Check.”
But of couhse we’ve canceled that sponsohship deal, dahling. Bad enough we’ve got a spectatohship that must me constantly admonished NOT to bring raw fuhs to trade foh theih tickets. Such vulgah yokels whom we must tolerate just because they ah paying customahs! But the Let’s go Brandon cryptocurrency sponsahship was one bridge to fah, dahling. It simply is not done in ouh cihkle jehks.
“Get Woke Go Broke”
Really an empty slogan at this point. It has no real truth behind it, other than a handful of examples from private sector small businesses. It certainly has no weight involving pro sports, as they’re going more and more woke each week, and thriving. If your in charge of one of the leagues, woke seems like a brilliant business strategy. Because your fan base is hopelessly addicted.
I am a proud member of the LGBFJB community.
I really must see if I can join up with this purveyor.
Death wish occurred with Noosegate.
The Let’s Go Brandon deny was just another nail in that death coffin.................
“They’re trying to cater to an audience (woke NASCAR fans) that doesn’t exist, so soon NASCAR won’t exist either.”
It started in the hills as informal contests between shiners to see whose cars can outrun the revenoors the best. Shining is very fortunately all but dead. But the urge to race cars remains, with or without the big business end of things.
Back to the dirt tracks. Nastycar never has been palatable.
LGBTQ -- Let's Get Biden To Quit
How did Gamer word dropping Kyle Larson get out of woke jail so quickly?
Whitish kid are allowed to shout N-words in public as long as they have intersectional grievances against the 100% white?
I need my 2022 copy of the Woke Rulebook.
