Cryptocurrency doubles down with a two-year sponsorship of the NASCAR driver
In 2021, Brandon Brown drove to victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway. As he climbed from the car, fans chanted, “Fuck, Joe Biden!”
A reporter incorrectly heard the phrase as, “Let’s go Brandon!” Instantly, the driver’s life was changed.

Brown stated that he was struggling to secure sponsorship as he name was attached to a political chant. However, weeks later, the family-owned Brandonbilt Motorsports was able to secure sponsorship ahead of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.
In late December, a sponsor was located. LGB Coin stepped up to serve as the full-time sponsor for Brandon Brown during his 2022 run. The cryptocurrency is meme coin.
LGBcoin.io quickly reached a market cap of $580 million after the announcement. However, NASCAR later rejected the paint scheme and sponsor.

The market cap dropped to $133,058,513 following the rejection.
Now, LGB Coin has doubled down on their sponsorship of the driver. The deal has been expanded to a two-year sponsorship and personal endorsement deal.
Deal Includes: Personal participation in publicity events, videos, crypto conferences, racing-related events and more, though won’t include car decals.
