    The winner was a driver named Brandon Brown! The reporter says Brandon was talking about hearing the chant from the crowd. So either the reporter was trying to make this young man’s first win about him, or maybe the driver thought people were chatting for him instead of just screaming about politics… whichever it was, assholes took the reporter as “censorship.”

    And that’s how the MAGA chant was etched in stone.

    Poor Brandon; “This whole Talladega race win was supposed to be a celebration, and then it was supposed to be something that I was able to use to move up, and I really wanted to capitalize on that,” Brown told the Times. “But with this meme going viral, it was more of, I had to stay more silent, because everybody wanted it to go on to the political side. I’m about the racing side.”

      That’s a man who’s aware the political machine will eat him with no regrets.
