NASCAR is the latest corporation to distance itself from Donald Trump.
On the same day one of its top sponsors called on NASCAR to take a stance against Trump, the motorsports series said it will not hold its season-ending awards ceremony at the Trump National Doral Miami.
"We looked at everything we saw coming down and what we heard from our sponsors and our partners and what we feel we should be doing, and that's what led us to the decision today," NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said Friday at Daytona International Speedway.
Trump's spokesman, Hope Hicks, declined to comment to NBC News Friday.

Let’s see, NASCAR is anti-Christian, anti-southerner and now anti free speech. What is there to like?
Now that is what should happen.... but unfortunately, you are counting on something that has a lot of assumptions embedded in it. Start with the pie of humanity who attend NASCAR and start divvying it up. What percent do you want to give to those who are just plain clueless....either too stupid or don't pay enough attention to have even heard about the issue? What percent to those who couldn't care less about anything if it involved anything short of cutting off their left testicle? What about those who are decent folks but are just too busy to think about it? Etc. etc. etc. If people on a mass scale can't get excited enough about the Hitlery's email, the IRS, Ben Ghazi and a lawless president to do anything, what makes anyone think that they will even think about this?
If you want a # to discuss it with NASCAR I can give it to you.
Brian France is a pathetic joke.
I believe this is the case.
Sure, give me the number and I’ll call them. In the meantime, I will personally do what others here are suggesting and that is simply to vote with my feet.
NASCAR has sunk to depths that it will never rise again.
Earlier there were indications of Brian France's pro Muslim stand, perhaps other red flags also. Whatever, a "Dump Brian" campaign is needed. He sounds like a character from the Soviet Union and the quotes attributed to him bring to mind a mentally challenged man.
Agreed. Brian France might be powerful but he still can be removed. Perhaps he is too involved with the Hollywood crowd. He owns licensing right to Britney Spears - her perfume, I believe. He also had a messy divorce twice from wife Megan Garcia. Between the two marriages to Megan, he was married to somebody else.
Delta 21 Distances Himself From NASCAR After Remarks
Hey. That works too !
I will guess the remaining NASCAR fans will be eating Rainbow-wrapped Whoppers and Ben & Jerry’s while race watching now, to go with the rainbow flag on the pace cars.
Man, I am missing Grandpa’s America.
The pot is steaming hot, we frogs are listless, and they are setting the table and getting the tartar sauce.
