NASCAR driver Brandon Brown agrees to sponsorship deal with LGBcoin.io

NASCAR blocked driver Brandon Brown from including the vulgar “Let’s Go Brandon’’ meme on his 68 Chevrolet Camaro, but Brown and the cryptocurrency coin inspired by the anti-Biden slogan are moving forward with a sponsorship deal. 

The two-year pact will include non-NASCAR sanctioned publicity events, videos, crypto conferences, and other events but not car decals, according to a press release issued Saturday by LGBcoin.io, the cryptocurrency company.  

“I’m working to achieve my own American dream,” Brown said, according to the press release. “I’m humbled and thankful for LGBcoin.io’s reaffirmed support for my professional journey and their commitment to maintain a patriotic message. LGBcoin.io has already demonstrated incredible potential and I’m excited to help build this brand through the 2022 season and beyond.”  

Brandon Brown, driver of the #68 TradeTheChain.com Chevrolet, waves to fans during pre-race ceremonies prior to the NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway on October 23, 2021 in Kansas City, Kansas.

Brown, 28, had previously said he has no interest in political statements and that the coded, offensive “Let’s Go Brandon’’ meme had hurt his chances to find corporate sponsors. 

“I have zero desire to be involved in politics,” he said in a New York Times story published Dec. 19. 

In an opinion piece published in Newsweek magazine Dec. 20, Brown wrote, “I have no interest in leading some political fight. I race cars. I am not going to endorse anyone, and I am certainly not going to tell anyone how to vote.”
