NASCAR Absurdly Finds Itself in the Middle Of Standoffish Democrat Rebel’s Saga

NASCAR getting involved in the politics of the House, or the Senate is not a common sight. But with no NASCAR action for months because of the off-season, and the peculiar circumstances that have come up in recent times involving Kyrsten Sinema, tangential involvement became more or less inevitable.

Kyrsten Sinema sent the whole of the US into a flurry with her recent announcement. In an interview with CNN, she said “I’ve registered as an Arizona independent. I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, but actually, I think it makes a lot of sense.”

“I’ve never fit neatly into any party box. I’ve never really tried. I don’t want to. Removing myself from the partisan structure – not only is it true to who I am and how I operate, I also think it’ll provide a place of belonging for many folks across the state and the country, who also are tired of the partisanship,” she added.

Her move has surprised many people. However, some who have been following her for a while believed that the move was in line with her centrist leanings, and it didn’t shock them.

Vox reporter Christian Paz wrote, “Her decision seems obvious to many followers of national politics or anyone who has followed Sinema’s career.” While Vox’s take on her move was subtle, another political analyst was a little more aggressive in his response to the move.

Jared Yates Sexton wrote, “Sinema should just go for it and sell her party affiliation out to the highest bidder. Start wearing NASCAR-style suits covered in her corporate and dark money donors.”

While Sexton doesn’t explicitly mention any corporate affiliations Senator Sinema might have, that is a big allegation.

Second involvement with a Congressman for NASCAR

Kyrsten Sinema and NASCAR’s association is tangential, at best. The suggestion from Sexton is only an insinuation of darker things going on behind the scenes. But only recently, a Congressman faced a penalty as a result of his involvement with NASCAR.

House Ethics Committee Madison recently fined Madison Cawthorn, Congressman for the 11th Congressional District of North Carolina, $15,000 . The fine came at the back of his involvement with the promotion of the Let’s Go Brandon (LGB) coin.

Developed around an offensive chant used by the detractors of POTUS Joe Biden, the LGB coin is a meme-inspired crypto-coin. The coin also received approval from NASCAR for sponsorship in December 2021. However, NASCAR unilaterally canceled this later.

The Ethics Committee ruled a conflict of interest existed between Cawthorn’s promotion and trading in the coin, and therefore he was required to pay $15,000 in fines. His fine was supposed to be paid as charity to charitable organizations. As it turned out later, he divided all the money between a gun lobby and a medical center.

NASCAR really saved itself a lot of trouble when it canceled the sponsorship in 2021. Things could’ve been very different if that had not been done.
