The 'Let's Go Brandon' chant originated at a NASCAR race and has been used to criticize President Joe Biden.
Steve Phelps, NASCAR president, announced the decision on Nov. 5, saying that the motorsports series does not want to be affiliated with"the left or the right." He also announced that NASCAR will pursue legal action against those who use their trademarks on merchandise including the slogan.
The phrase originated at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300 race in October, where driver Brandon Brown had won his first NASCAR race. The crowd at the event began to chant"F*** Joe Biden" as Brown was being interviewed bySports reporter Kelli Stavast. She then told the racer during the interview that they were chanting"Let's Go Brandon," cheering for his win. Stavast was wearing a headset and it is unknown if she was able to hear the actual chant.
That's a reversal on NASCAR's long history of allowing political candidates to use its races as campaign stops. Presidentwas the honorary starter at the Daytona 500 in 2020 and the sold-out February crowd made NASCAR's Super Bowl feel like a campaign rally until his plane flew over the Florida speedway after his command to start the engines.
