Let’s go Brandon!!! This has been the rallying cry that many of us have gotten behind over the last year.
Whether we are at a sports game, or hanging out at our favorite bar, we can quickly identify our own and have some fun by shouting the now famous line.
However, this innocent slogan has created problems for Brandon Brown, the Nascar driver who unwittingly started the chant when a reporter falsely claimed that the crowd was yelling “let’s go Brandon”…
The crowd had in fact been shouting f**K Joe Biden.
Brandon Brown claims that he has had a difficult time finding sponsors since many marquee corporations don’t want to get mixed up in the whole thing.
His trouble with sponsors is at an end though, and he is now the proud driver of the Let’s Go Brandon Coin car! LGB Coin is a popular crypto currency touting the claim of “America’s coin”.
Take a look:
NASCAR driver Brandon Brown is now the driver of the “Let’s Go Brandon” @LGBcoin_io car
🔥🔥🔥

😴 to your attempt to make this about me when I said sponsors not wanting Brandon is not because of lets go Brandon. But I'm not surprised. It's never the victims fault. *brandon* there are new sponsors in nascar today who sponsor drivers with worse things than lgb. Stop

Motorsport.Com had more details on the sponsorship:
LGB.coin.io is a cryptocurrency meme coin on the Ethereum blockchain playing off the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ catchphrase that became popular in right-wing political circles following Brown’s Talladega victory.
After the race win, an expletive-ridden chant against President Joe Biden erupted from the grandstands, which had happened previously at other sporting events. When the chants were misconstrued as ‘Let’s Go Brandon,’ it became a new political meme almost instantly.
LOL BRANDON BROWN
after him being attacked because everyone was saying lets go brandon who else would want to sponsor him but the lets go brandon coin— Xander (@RealTeamWall) December 30, 2021
We need to find out which NASCAR sponsors are dropping Brandon Brown over the “Lets Go Brandon” chants (not his fault) & reward them accordingly by taking our purchasing power elsewhere.

Fox News previously reported that Brandon Brown was having trouble finding sponsorships:
“It got extremely difficult for us. … If you’re a national corporation, that means you sell to all consumers … and unfortunately, when you get dragged into the political arena, people want you to take a side,’” Brown told Sports Business Journal in a recent interview.
