NASCAR Driver Brandon Brown Isn’t a Fan of the Let’s Go Brandon Meme

NASCAR driver Brandon Brown isn’t a fan of the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme that bears his name, telling New York Times media columnist Ben Smith that he has “zero desire to be involved in politics.”

In his latest column, titled “Brandon Just Wants to Drive His Racecar,” Smith chatted with Brown about his inadvertent political infamy, which arose when an NBC sports reporter misheard the crowd chants after the 28-year-old driver won his first NASCAR victory at Talladega Superspeedway in October, thinking “F*ck Joe Biden” was actually “Let’s Go Brandon.” Since then, the euphemism has been embraced by trolling conservatives; Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R-FL) PAC even started selling t-shirts with the phrase.
