Controversial 'Let's Go Brandon' coin found a way to sponsor NASCAR driver after all

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A controversial “Let’s Go Brandon”-inspired sponsor has found a way to capitalize on a driver’s popularity while abiding by NASCAR’s rules. The LGBcoin.io cryptocurrency company, whose first three letters reference the viral slogan, announced Saturday morning that it has agreed to a two-year sponsorship and personal endorsement deal with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Brandon Brown, whose name inspired the chant. NASCAR previously denied a request by Brown’s Brandonbilt Motorsports team for the company to serve as its primary sponsor for the full 2022 season and appear on Brown...

Now, the company has found a way to work with Brown without violating NASCAR’s sponsorship rules. LGBcoin is a self-described “decentralized meme cryptocurrency” with a website that touts a message of “inspiring positivity and patriotism” by leaning into the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant.

Let Fox have Nascar. Nascar has been dead for years now.

NASCAR has mostly disappeared from sports coverage. The faithful will always watch it but the crowds have vastly dissipated - Richmond has removed at least 30% of the seats. They went with the NBC Sports bid and I think is still on Fox for some races. During it’s hey day they excluded ESPN from inside racetracks and eventually ESPN just stopped covering it. I don’t see it on Sports Center.
