DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR will not return to the Trump National Doral Miami resort for its postseason award banquets after Donald Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants this week.

NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said the decision was made Friday to hold the sport's Xfinity and Camping World Truck series banquets at another location, as well as the Sprint Cup Series' championship weekend news conference event.

That location has not been determined.

NBC, which is owned by the same company as Xfinity, severed its business relationship with Trump this week and Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis vowed not to attend the banquet if it was held at a Trump property.

1. Hahah! What a clever businessman that man is.

2. I'm starting to get the feeling that many of these people wanted to get away from bully Trump for

quite some time and now they have he opportunity. Good for them...

[chillfactor]

3. wow!

Donald's big mouth is getting him in trouble!

4. How much money did the Rump expect to make running for president?

Not that anyone took him as a serious candidate, but just somebody looking for a book deal.

It looks like he failed spectacularly. Probably fewer people will want to buy anything he writes now and he's as toxic commercially as Rush Limbaugh.

5. This is getting to be a wonderful thing to watch...

I hope everybody dumps his ignorant ass.

Also, yay for "The Profit" Marcus Lemonis!!!

6. Ha ha!

7. NASCAR along with the NFL want to expand their respective fan bases.

Campaign has done for him, is to allow everyone to see publicly how much of a hater he truly is.

epic Trump bankruptcy coming...
