Corey LaJoie's 'Trump 2020' NASCAR Sponsorship Is Causing Controversy
NASCAR driver Corey LaJoie took part in the first Cup Series doubleheader in modern racing history [...]
Y’all act like @CoreyLaJoie is the one personally talking to every sponsor! @GoFasRacing32 is a small budget race team and for someone to give them that much money just to be on the rear quarter panel of the car, I’d take the money

That's a lot of money for a sticker that maybe had 3 minutes total tv time between the two races

No one paid. It was an unsponsored race for the team. They put it on the car. It was not the official BLM logo.

prevnextMoney talks, when you're a team like GFR doesn't matter what it is, 350k is 350k

Any political figure or group will have people who disagree with them and could bring up valid points for not allowing them to sponsor a car. Only thing you can do is either let them all run, or let none of them run

prevnext350K for a team like that is awesome! But people will still complain just due to what’s on the car 🙄

I mean like....good for them getting some money, times are lean - certainly for a small team.

That said, despite the fact that I've been a big fan of Go Fas since the Labonte days, I'll be rooting for a litany of 35th+ place finishes.

Not a good combo
KEEP POLITICS OUT OF SPORTS
The fact that a PAC felt like they had to dump $350,000 to target an audience that they should already OWN says a lot.

Of course, two weeks ago, all those cheering were saying #nopolictics IN #NASCAR.

prevnextHa Trumps magic touch. He will probably crash and burn now. At least maybe people would notice him out there.

I can’t root for any car with political stickers. I watch to escape the lunacy,not to be reminded of it.
