This is pretty major news for both sports, considering this is the first time NASCAR has sponsored a college football team. And it quite thrilled plenty of fans about the post. But touchdown Alabama Magazine’s post also had a few different opinions in the comments section.
Stephen Box – “This what happens when a GOAT points out an issue & gets slammed for it. He goes out & uses it to his advantage. Does it better than anyone else, i.e. 2023 may be the best recruiting class in UofA history. Probably in NCAA history. Then he’ll be ridiculed for it & people will cry about how “unfair” it is.”
Jason Shelnutt – “Should be perfect for nascar’s fan base! The only thing their missing is an endorsement from Walmart.”
Joe Godsey – “Good deal for the team but I’m done with nascar . It is dead to me. It died with #3 and wokeness buried it .”
