Karma's a son of a bitch, ain't it?

NASCAR driver at the center of 'Let's go Brandon' may have to skip races in 2022 due to a lack of sponsorship

Maybe some questionable branding choices for the young driver?

The 28-year-old meekly attempted to stay apolitical in the weeks after his Talladega win and even claimed to the New York Times in a December profile that he didn’t want to be political. Less than two weeks after that profile, Brown and his family team leaned fully into the politicization and said it had a deal with a Let’s Go Brandon-themed cryptocurrency to sponsor his car for the full season despite NASCAR’s public denouncement of the phrase.

You did your research before you threw in with a super polarizing startup cryptocurrency, right?

The cryptocurrency had a minuscule value at the time of the premature announcement and quickly cratered. According to CoinBase, the coin is effectively worthless and there’s been no trading of since late March. It's also a central part of an ethics investigation into Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC).

Going all in for a sponsor relationship that is so offensive NASCAR distances itself and disallows it, AND poisons your name so no one else will touch you in a "sport" completely dependent on sponsorship to compete. Ah, so sorry that didn't work out for you, chuckles. Fuck you, Brandon, you dumbass.
