By Matt Underwood I feel absolutely gutted for this guy.
For those of you who don’t follow NASCAR, Brandon Brown competes in the Xfinity Series, which can be thought of as the second division of NASCAR. He raced for years at lower levels before starting his own team with his dad in 2019.
He has grinder his way up the ladder. Starting off with secondhand equipment and part-time sponsors, he’s slowly built his way up into a fairly consistent top-20 contender, despite having to employ as many as 25 different sponsors for a 33 race season.
This year, he became a feel-good story as his father has been battling cancer, and unfortunately couldn’t be at the track for the first time in Brandon’s career. Finally, at Talladega, he achieved an upset win- the first of his career. During his interview, the first thing he said was “we did it dad”. It should be one of the best sports moments of the year- it’s definitely the reason I watch NASCAR. But that moment was hijacked by absolute scum.
But hey, at least Trump supports get to trigger the Liberals!!!
It’s heartbreaking, this dude not only got the spotlight stolen from him, and now his career is being destroyed, because of a bunch of man children who think Owning The Libs is more important than anything else. His crime is just a reporter trying to do her job and not swear on TV. That’s it. All he did was try and hold an interview.
Republicans do not care for anybody but themselves and ruining this guys life because they couldn’t show a shed of self control during his victory interview shows it.
It really sucks. In a sport where sponsors can make or break you, becoming a political icon is basically a death sentence.
