NASCAR Xfinity driver Brandon Brown will return to the arena once again. The Brandonbilt Racing driver somehow managed to scramble a new sponsor for his team, and it is an unusual one. To be exact, the team secured a full-season sponsorship deal with LGBcoin. The kicker is that it is a newly-created cryptocurrency brand built on the back of the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ chant.
Admittedly, the chant was born out of a misinterpreted political slogan. Considering that sports and politics always have a strained relationship, apprehensions would not be uncommon. So it was surprising when the team said that NASCAR green-lit the paint scheme.

However, recent reports have revealed that NASCAR has not approved of the LGBcoin deal yet. Hopefully, for Brown, it will be a matter of time before he gets approval. When he does, then, fans can see him drive the red, white, and blue livery with the LGBcoin logo on his #68 car.

The 28-year-old has come a long way from having to scrounge for sponsors, even going as far as to run a For Sale sign on his car. Evidently, the gimmick worked, because he and the team have been able to stay afloat for the rest of the year.
