WFB:
A pair of gun companies said this week that NASCAR rejected their rifle ads because of the racing company’s “gradual shift on guns.”
Dark Storm Industries said an ad it submitted featuring one of the company’s AR-15s was rejected and online retailer K-Var Corp. said an ad featuring an AK-47 and 9mm handgun was also rejected. Both said a NASCAR advertising agency solicited ads from them for NASCAR publications. They submitted ads but were told NASCAR would not accept them.
“NASCAR decided to turn their back on their customer base, joining the likes of Yeti, Dick’s and Under Armour,” Dark Storm wrote in an Instagram post. “We were approached by a NASCAR publication eager to earn our business, but after submitting our ad it was immediately rejected, stating that we cannot depict ‘assault weapons.'”
An April email exchange between K-Var and National Event Publications, which books ads for NASCAR publications, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows the ad booker working with the gun dealer on final details of an ad for the souvenir program sold during the Race for the Cup series. Dave Dolbee, general manager of K-Var, said the company thought the ad would be good for brand awareness since the NASCAR audience is considered to be very gun-friendly and notable gun companies had previously advertised in the program. However, the ad company emailed Dolbee in August to say NASCAR rejected K-Var’s ad because of the firearms included in it. read more
NASCAR is not the same racing organization in the days of Earnhart and Petty and the rest of the REAL MEN…It’s turning into a soy boy event.
What now, douche and Gillette ads?
“Have you ever had… that not-so-fresh feeling?”
“Like when your pussy stinks?”
“Yeah, like that.”
so NASCAR, an organization promoting a product that kills more Americans, every year, than ‘assault weapons’, censors ads for legally accepted products
… makes sense to me! … in Bizarro World
NASCAR … another ‘sport’ I no longer have time for
Nip Nip Chip Chip & nibble nibble nibble
your gun rights away… Never going to stop.
Media,Govt.,sports and Hollyweird are all in on it…
So, I no longer do business with dick’s sporting goods, kroger, chase and now fuck nascar…… in the interest of full disclosure, I refinanced the primary residence a couple of years ago in order to diminish the monthly note and cap center sold my 3.5% note to chase…… so until I move to SC and sell this place I send them a check every month.

I did not know nascar was run by thumb sucking kitty cats!
Petty #43 Chrysler HEMI. Beat everything.
Imagine the idea if you would,that the object
of a car race is to go faster than all the
other cars.The best mechanics and the most powerful
engines would win.Now they have restrictor plates
on the intake manifolds so all the cars are in the
same “ball park” horsepower/torque range.The darn
rule book is 3″ thick…Most teams rent their exotic
motor from builders.Motors have security seals all
over them.You break a seal and pay 5 mil.
These people really love screwing themselves, don’t they?
I understand the desire to broaden your fan base. But there’s something insane about going out of your way to not offend people who have no intention of liking you anyway.
NASCAR invented boring!
OH, 1 more thing, Nascar is staged,scripted
and contrived just like All Star WWF Restlin’.
Alex J. over and out….
Scratches Nascar events off of the list.
Nascar died to me when they started running all these cookie cutter cars and restrictor plates. Boring! Still good crashes though.
That’s the thing about NASTARD these days…
My father-in-law would watch, in his alcohol induced haze, hundreds of miles of cars going ’round a track, but came to life screaming at the TV screen when there was a pile up.
“Admit it. You watch this shit for the crashes.”
“They are very skilled.”
“I’m not gainsaying that. But the ONLY reason you watch cars go around a track for so many hours every day of the season is to behold the crashes.”
“They are very skilled.”
NASCAR died when number 3 hit the wall. I stopped watching that day.
Not a fan but I passed this on to some guys who are.
You have to do what you can to throw the pipe wrench
into the anti-gunners gearbox.
Let them advertise to ths Bernoe crowd, and blow them off. They’ll go the way of.gilette.
The idiots don’t realize that the gun company ads are just normal business competition and have nothing to do with promoting the guns themselves.
To watch the ads that are actually promoting guns, and encouraging their misuse, you have to watch Hollywood movies and ain’t NASCAR or anyone else gonna be trying to ban those ads.
They’re making a Left turn!
Know where my next pistol will come from
Years of the Jimmy Johnson show and then the playoffs. Now segments. Screw it.
Are they STILL running restrictor plates, and foreign cars?
PASS. 😡
Nascar is for pussies
nascar= scripted wrestling on wheels
Fuck NASCAR. Get woke, fuck off, go broke, and die!
I never went to a Nascar race until my wife started getting luxury skybox suite tickets at the Texas Motor Speedway this year from her company. The tickets would cost $2,000 each but she gets them free as a fringe benefit. Man, that’s the only way to watch a race. Sitting up there while looking down over the unwashed masses suffering in the Texas heat is a real treat I would never pay for out of my pocket. The air conditioned suite has an open bar and gourmet food served all through the race. Pit passes and VIP parking come with the tickets. Theatre seating and big screen TV’s along with pool tables and private restrooms are part of the deal. They even provide free high quality swag like hats and shirts and backpacks after the race. The last race we attended was an Indy car race and it was much better than the Nascar race we went to in March. As long as she keeps getting free tickets, we’re going. Don’t judge me! lol
Calgary & WCRA Rodeo has no six second rule in calf roping. The Daddy of em’ All and Let ‘em Buck still have steer tripping, but many other major rodeos don’t because of P.C.
WCRA is bullshit anyway. I don’t know anyone who still goes to Calgary, and WCRA thinks they are going to broaden the fan base and make Rodeo a major TV sport emulating a losing strategy. Luck with that!
And I wouldn’t walk across the street to watch a nascar race if it were free, but would fly To Knoxville Iowa to go to the 360 Sprint Car Nationals if it were not the same week as Omak Stampede.
I’ve noticed with a lot of sports once the money gets really big the sport goes into decline. At least from the POV of the earlier fans. However, the audience attending may increase but many of the earlier fans have gone elsewhere rather than stay and watch the sad decline.
NASCAR has killed more people than my gun…
Not surprised. Always liked racing…IMSA GTP, pre-94 F1, INDY, CART and V8 Supercars…but always liked NASCAR till they unveiled that stupid looking “car of tomorrow” years back. Stopped watching it seriously, just occasionally. But as Doc stated, just a bunch of soy boys now. BTW, I love my guns, so screw off NASCAR.
Last NASCAR event I attended, Daytona, King Richard won.
They are not “stock cars” anymore, Smokey Yunick, the last of the rule finaglers.
Famous for his 2 inch diameter fuel lines.
I never understood the whole obsession with NASCAR, especially today’s version of it. I know people who live and breathe it, but it has never made sense to me. However, it’s a staple of the South, but it appears it has been overtaken by morons.
