NASCAR has made its final decision on Xfinity Series driver Brandon Brown’s LGBcoin paint scheme, saying it will not be approved to race with the series.
Brown, a longtime driver in the minor league series, saw his name rise to stardom behind an internet meme that arose during his frontstretch interview after his first career win.
The driver stood during the interview, with fans in the background chanting ‘f— Joe Biden,’ while the interviewer mistook it for ‘Let’s go Brandon.’
Thus, the meme was born and James Koutoulas turned into a cryptocurrency company (LGBcoin).
NASCAR, which previously had said it would veer away from anything containing the phrase ‘Let’s go Brandon,’ has confirmed to FOX’s Bob Pockrass that the car will not see the track.
NASCAR has made the final decision that the LGBcoin sponsorship for Brandon Brown is not an approved sponsorship to be on the car.
