Washington NASCAR rejected advertisements for its souvenir programs from multiple firearms companies earlier this summer as part of what is being seen as a"gradual shift" in its position on guns.
The move may be another example of how major companies are adjusting as the nation grapples with guns in America. While the move did not get widespread notice, NASCAR'S apparent shift stunned gun enthusiasts who said there is a large overlap between NASCAR fans and gun owners, and left some in the firearms industry questioning why NASCAR's viewpoint has shifted and where the racing organization now stands on Second Amendment issues.
They seem to understand human rights over gun marketing. Good for them
Who really cares that they banned them? Not me, don't watch NASCAR. Not since they got rid of big tobacco sponsorship. That's sarcasm, by the way
This is a smart move by NASCAR.
Nascar banned coolers after 9-11...that lasted about two racing weeks
Just the latest in a series of bad decisions made by NASCAR
It’s not a political issue you dumbos. People are losing lives in tens of thousands, NASCAR taking a position of leadership, kudos
But they have no problem keeping their beer and Alcohol sponsors even though people die every day from Drunk driving.
I love NASCAR 🏁 Great direction!
They understand their base, and the ability to use their influence for change.
...Forcing a Sophie's Choice between big dumb dangerous guns and big dumb dangerous cars.
👏👏👏
Good for them! 😊 Thank you!
So woke
'They've got the drivers shooting off blanks in the winner's circle. It doesn't make any sense.' We are being heard? Wow?
Guns do not belong in Sport Events!
They intend on sticking around longer than the NRA. Smart.
Sounds to me like the NRA doesn’t understand its own base
Thank you NASCAR
Yes they understand their base. They want them alive to spend more money on NASCAR.
DLand91 Oh boy.
Thank you NASCAR !!
cnn = Fake News
They care about lives.
Good for them; step in the right direction.
Good for them. They have children and grandchildren who're telling them about the fear they live with.
Thanks to the Daytona Beach based France family and NASCAR. We can get this done if Corporate America shows the way!
Richard Childress is not playing. Something must be deeply rotten inside the NRA for him to be able to persuade NASCAR to distance themselves ASAP from the NRA and the gun industry.
The NRA doesn’t even allow guns at their own convention s etc... 🤷♀️
They understand the future...
Good for them!!!
There are millions of fans other than their base who wholeheartedly support this decision. My parents are just two of them.
Then give everyone a black powder musket. Hard to engage in mass killing with a gun to the founders had in mind
SMART MOVE
Thank you NASCAR !!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yes. It’s logic based.👏🏼
Thank you, NASCAR!
Thank you NASCAR! MomsDemand
lauren_hoggs Great!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Idiots!!!!!! Everyone skip 1 race and do not watch on TV that same weekend. Watch what happens
👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻😍
Wow well Nascar us gonna go broke then because if the wokeness
I think most corporations finally realize that the “gun base” is a small loud group that presents itself larger than it really is and that their real money comes from a group that spends more, will live longer and will produce more offspring who will be future consumers. 💡Smart!
👍
Maybe they have found some integrity and care more about the safety of Americans and their children. Most Americans want gun control. NASCAR is not bought and paid for by the NRA like the politicians are.
I applaud NASCAR for their stand on guns. Who uses an AR 15 to go hunting
Thank you NASCAR for being a part of the 21st century. Other than that, you get no points for not being awful.
agreen492 shooketh
Tide is turning.
Wow. Never saw that coming. 👍👍👍
Maybe they do understand the base and dont care cuz the fan base aint watching NASCAR for the ads for m&ms, tide or guns
Maybe they’re hoping so grow a new base of fans.
Another example of something that is supposed to be for entertainment getting political. I think they are forgetting why they exist.
NASCAR sucks and it has for the last couple years.
Perhaps they understand their fan base only too well.
New fan of NASCAR here.
Ironically using a guns to commit economic suicide.
Well the 2A people will boycott NASCAR this will be epic
Fuck nascar they didn’t learn from the NFL
It won’t affect their base. People love NASCAR. Props to them for doing this.
Thank You NASCAR
NASCAR just made a new fan!
RESPECT. .... Finally....
It's about time
They understand that guns are never the answer, and that they'll soon be banned in the USA anyway.
Commendable step. They must focus on electric cars next.
NASCAR makes me proud!!!!
Good. Getting on the right side of history is a smart move, even if you’re many years too late by most of our standards.
I hope the fans act accordingly
