NASCAR says it has not approved driver Brandon Brown's "Let's Go Brandon"-themed sponsorship and race-car paint scheme, which made national headlines Thursday after Brown's team announced it.

"Late Thursday afternoon, a NASCAR spokesperson confirmed to Motorsport.com that the LGBcoin_io sponsorship for Brown has not yet been approved and the team 'jumped the gun' in publicizing its announcement Thursday morning," the racing news site reported.

Motorsport.com editor Jim Utter added: "#NASCAR must pre-approve ALL sponsors and paint schemes .... been a rule for longer than I've covered the sport."

According to the Charlotte Observer, "All sponsorship must be approved by NASCAR officials through a formal submission process, which has not occurred in this case. Brown’s team has submitted the sponsorship to NASCAR for consideration."

1. Perhaps he should be kicked out for violating the rules

He seemed extremely disparate to call attention to his decision. And now NASCAR is calling him out, but they need to do more than that.

2. Since They've Already Put Down...

...their foot on the LGB chant at their events, I don't see NASCAR approving this deal.
Then, this punk has to backtrack on his big talk.

3. Can you imagine the screaming if someone put

'Tr*mp is a moron' on their race car?

4. As a NASCAR fan, I want no whiff of any politics in the sport...

And it’s not because I’d disagree with 99% of it. Sports are entertainment. Not everything needs to involve politics.

5. How about a "Let's Go, Darwin" car?

6. Shucks. I wanted somebody to add two letters to every LGB.

Who could we find to paint a TQ on them?

8. He basically has a Russian or some other un-American pos as a sponsor
