NASCAR won’t allow Brandon Brown to drive a “Let’s Go Brandon”-themed car.
The Xfinity series driver sent shockwaves through the sport when he unveiled an “LGB”-themed car sponsored by the cryptocurrency company LGBcoin. Brown went mega-viral when a reporter claimed fans were chanting “Let’s go Brandon” instead of “F**k Joe Biden.”
However, the racing company won’t allow him to drive it. According to Bob Pockrass, NASCAR has decided to not approve the sponsorship.
For some contrast, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, who infamously claimed a noose was found in his racing stall, did have a #BLACKLIVESMATTER car.
So, clearly, NASCAR is okay with politics being injected into races as long as it fits a certain narrative.
The major issue most fans are going to have with this decision is that there is no consistency at all. How is a BLM car allowed but a car poking fun at President Joe Biden is banned?
How does that make sense to anyone? The answer is that it obviously doesn’t.
If NASCAR is going to let people promote BLM, which is an openly political cause, then how is an “LGB”-themed car not acceptable?
It would seem that it has to be an all-or-nothing type of situation, or is NASCAR okay picking and choosing what kind of politics to allow?
It certainly seems like it’s the latter.
