NASCAR is denouncing the Let’s Go Brandon chant that started after a race and quickly went viral. From college football stadiums to baseball stadiums to anywhere crowds gather the chant can be heard.
Even the liberals are getting the joke. Rather than fight Brandon, they embraced the chant getting ‘Thank you Brandon’ to trend on Twitter after Biden finally passed the infrastructure bill. But NASCAR doesn’t think it is funny and is cracking down.
Steve Phelps, NASCAR’s president, said: “It’s an unfortunate situation and I feel for Brandon, I feel for Kelli.
“I think, unfortunately, it speaks to the state of where we are as a country.
“We do not want to associate ourselves with politics, the left or the right.
“We will pursue whoever is using logo) and get that stuff.
“That’s not OK. It’s not OK that you’re using our trademarks illegally, regardless of whether we agree with what the position is.
“Do we like the fact that it kind of started with NASCAR and then is gaining ground out elsewhere?
“No, we’re not happy about that,” Phelps said.
From NBC:
