Avondale, Ariz.—NASCAR denounced its association with the “Let's go, Brandon” political cry being used across the country as an insult directed at President Joe Biden. Steve Phelps, NASCAR's president, said Friday the top motorsports series in the United States does not want to be associated with politics “on the left or the right.”
Phelps also said NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel wearing a black “Let's go, Brandon” shirt alongside NASCAR's trademarked color bars.
Let's go, NASCAR.

This movement is so much bigger that NASCAR. Do you really think we care? Uh, no. I have a feeling Let's Go Brandon is here to stay. FJB had been around for weeks at football games and other gatherings. You simply cannot stop it with your wagging finger and a tut, tut! We have had it with all the crap the msm, the so called elites, the politicos, the sport stars, the Hollywood weirdos, the school boards, the illegals and anybody else who can't grasp what is happening. Frankly I am in love with the whole thing. It's like our pioneer spirit has returned. I love spunky. We put up with a lot during President Trumps time in office and now you whine. Sorry, not sorry.

They don't want their logo associated with it. OK. All you Nascar fans out there, make the loudest noises you can whenever you're at the races.

Hey Stevie?!
You remember that "noose" on the garage door.
Like it or not, you chose to be in it up to your neck.
That's why the fans told you to shut up.
Should have listened.
Let's go, NASCAR!

It will be shouted loud and clear at the “season ending” race. Oh, the “stage” crud is stupid. Three 80 mile races. Whee.

As if NASCAR didn’t have enough problems, Phelps steps in it again. Since his ascension the fun has been taken out of stock car racing. It’s no wonder attendance is down. Oh well….

I don't believe it is solely a 'conservative rally cry.' Truth be told, I don't think democrats like the guy either.

That ought to stop the chanting from the stands. What are they going to do, have them arrested? They're complaint is with the NBC Bimbette who coined the phrase, not the fans who fund the exhorbitent salaries.

99% of NASCAR's fans are "on the right" politically.
If NASCAR management doesn't realize that and embrace it, viewership and fans at live events are going to start crashing very quickly.
Go woke, go broke!!!! They had better learn that now before it's too late!!!

I noticed that the usual suspects have denounced the Braves tomahawk chop as racist. I also noticed the the Braves victory parade was lined by a million people doing the chop...black, white, Hispanic and Asian...all chopping away happily. Good luck on trying to ban it. People in this country have just about had enough. The Dems better hope the worst they see is the tomahawk chop instead of someone using a real one on their lefty heads.

Its hard to watch any kind of sports these days with all the stupid wokeism and political correctness. They can take all their messages and flush them down the nearest toilet for all I care.
Haven't used the Lets Go Brandon chant. FJB is unambiguous and nobody other than stupid dishonest woke reporters will miss what it means.

NASCAR certainly doesn't understand their fan base if they think that democrats show up to watch their cars go around and around the ovals.
Reality is, they might ought to consider how many fans they lost by denouncing the Confederate flags. In the meantime, Let's go Brandon.

Talk about misreading your customer. Phelps obviously doesn't remember the crowd reaction to Trump's fly by at the Daytona 500 on AF1 at 800 ft above the back straight, followed by he and Melania taking a few laps in the Beast before taking the stage to start the race...and then leading the pack for the pace lap.

NASCAR Truck Series just finished their final race of the season, and determined their season champion.
Meanwhile the crowd was chanting 'Lets Go Brandon'. Not one comment by the announcers of course. The people come to the race TO SEE A RACE. Go political, and the fans will tell NASCAR exactly what they think. The fans aren't there to be lectured.

Their "trademarked color bars" are yellow, red, and blue, in that order.
It's not their "trademarked color bars. " if the colors are blue, yellow, and red.
It's possible that the use could be considered parody, so that's a protected use.

This really is getting like the movie and book, Hunger Games. Mockingbird. The left has not been able to crush the American spirit, but they are on it! Hopefully, their continued complaints about Let’s Go Brandon will just reinforce it all the more. Ridicule is a weapon we all can wield and it is effective. Say it, wear it, live it!

Same as #34, when watching auto racing, I prefer Formula 1 and IMSA (Le Mans, Sebring, etc.). Those cars are far superior to NASCAR's boxy domestics. When ol' DW (Darrell Waltrip) retired from the announcer's booth a couple of years ago, I sort of retired as a viewer of stock car racing. Besides, I miss Ayrton Senna, who's been gone 27 years since Imola. No other driver could top the fiery Senna. Not Schumacher, not Hamilton. Oh, and Let's go, Brandon!

Of course NASCAR cannot encourage the use of it's trademarks against Resident Joe Biden, but NASCAR cannot control it's fans.
What's left of them.
Fans are dwindling fast. I haven't watched a full race this year.
NASCAR started dying when Dale Earnhart died.

I certainly would prefer going to a local stock car track and watch amateurs race. Lots more fun than the boring pack of cars jammed together with little to no action. So nascar can stick it where the sun don’t shine for all I care.

Marxist-infiltrated NASCAR's disdain for its dwindling customer base is such that they openly announce that their fans, who already debase themselves by funding an organization that despises them, are also stupid.
