NASCAR driver Brandon Brown says affiliation with the "Let's go Brandon" chant is costing him marketing opportunities.

Brandon Brown, the NASCAR driver who unintentionally sparked the “Let’s go Brandon” phenomenon, says he is having sponsorship struggles as a result of the chant. In October, Brown was being interviewed by Kelli Stavast on NBC after he won a race at Talladega. The crowd was chanting “F–k Joe Biden,” and Stavast talked about how they were chanting “Let’s go Brandon!” The phrase quickly became a rallying cry among conservatives who believe President Biden gets treated with kid gloves by the media, and has endured in the political lexicon. Brown, 28, says the affiliation with the chant is costing him marking opportunities.

He should rebrand his race car as the “Lets go Brandon” car. I’m certain he could find some sponsors.

Some Trump fans.

Gee, might want to take it up with NBC, they’re the ones who stuck his name over a news event they found inconvenient to cover.

“The phrase quickly became a rallying cry among conservatives who believe President Biden gets treated with kid gloves by the media,..”

It is popular amongst some liberals as well, because Joe is not popular with ANyONE.

He’s changed his story a couple times so that in itself will create some trust issues.

He should sue NBC for destroying his career. It’s obvious that the NASCAR babe was simply following orders to provide cover for the Democrats.

Sleepy Joe would be the first one to sponsor the car . . . if his puppeteers were disabled.

Every driver in the series is having trouble attracting sponsors.

If anything it should be the reporter that should be having “problems”.

But they would need me to drive that car because it would only be apropos if the car lost every race!

NASCAR would shut it down, they have been trying to distance themselves from this from day one, which shows their insanity as well

If he could find a platform and a payment processor (so it won’t happen), a “Let’s go Brandon” car would rake in the money. He’s not a bad driver at all. He would need someone really rich to basically underwrite it, since all of the payment processing platform would shut him down. Needs to happen. It’s a real life “Who is John Galt.”

The effort to kill this phenomenon is incredible.
