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..

I’ve already refused my season tickets for next year at PIR. Maybe they can sell them to some illegals. I imagine the illegals can purchase them with their EBT cards.

Evidently NASCAR believes it’s not shedding fans fast enough.

From what I understand they have to, otherwise it would be an endorsement.

#winning - Trump has gone full Charlie Sheen.Good comparison.
He can also be considered the Paris Hilton of politics.

I’ll never watch NASCAR again, nor will I buy any promotional products from them. Incredible that they became lib-tards overnight.

What fans of Trump are fans of NASCAR? Does having a catfight with Rosie O’Donnell really play to the NASCAR demo?

You need to let them know. I will. It’s getting harder to be a fan.

Trump should start his own stock car racing circuit! That’ll show them!

It took less time for NASCAR to adopt political correctness than it did for them to adopt fuel injection.
I haven’t followed the series closely for a few years, and this gives me one less reason to come back.
