NASCAR is now stepping on the brakes to a deal after giving approval on driver Brandon Brown’s “Let’s Go Brandon” sponsor, cryptocurrency meme coin LGBcoin.
“Let’s go Brandon,” for the uninitiated, became a viral meme last year after Brown won a race and a reporter claimed fans were cheering “Let’s go Brandon,” though they were clearly chanting “F*** Joe Biden.” The saying has now become a rip on President Joe Biden, as well as the media.
Brown’s spokesman Maxwell Marcucci said Brandonbilt Motorsports received explicit approval of the LGBcoin sponsorship on December 26.
But, now, NASCAR is claiming Brown’s team “jumped the gun” by announcing the partnership.
“We received written approval on the sponsors from a NASCAR Racing Operations official on December 26, 2021,” Marcucci said in a statement. “The team subsequently moved forward with an announcement only after being provided with this approval.”
