NASCAR is the latest corporation to distance itself from Donald Trump.
On the same day one of its top sponsors called on NASCAR to take a stance against Trump, the motorsports series said it will not hold its season-ending awards ceremony at the Trump National Doral Miami.
"We looked at everything we saw coming down and what we heard from our sponsors and our partners and what we feel we should be doing, and that's what led us to the decision today," NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said Friday at Daytona International Speedway.
Trump's spokesman, Hope Hicks, declined to comment to NBC News Friday.

Good grief. Why did they think he was an expert on the subject? That’s just strange.
In a sport where continuously turning LEFT is the rule what else could you expect.
NASCAR is just a big fast food and pop marketing deal now. I have tried to watch a race, just bores me to tears except for the last 5 laps. Drivers are all a bunch of 12 year olds except for guys like Harvick and . . um . . .
Remenber when David Pearson used to wear dress shoes (oxfords) when racing or Buddy Baker would be doing 200 mph at Talladega with a big ole cigar clenched between his teeth? Pearson also still had the cigarette lighter in his cars so he could burn one or two during caution laps.
I've got no time now for NASCAR so I'm glad to hear even they've surrendered to queer rights and mexican sensitivities - piss on em
The Chamber of Facists handiwork, grasshopper.
NASCAR wants the Confederate flag gone and now they’re dumping Trump.
Where are the fighters of this nonsense??????????????
What a subservient nation we have become.
.
lol
I’m guessing you meant Rick Hendrick? Their address is:
Hendrick Motorsports
4400 Papa Joe Hendrick Blvd.
Charlotte, NC 28262
I haven’t heard anything from them yet but I expect to be disappointed with them too.
Should coordinate boycott.
I believe they're misreading the great Silent Majority. We're slow to anger and quiet right now so they think we don't exist
Yes. NASCAR chairman Brian France had a meltdown, saying, “We will be as aggressive as possible to disassociate NASCAR events from an offensive and divisive symbol.” He apparently was referring to the Confederate flag. I doubt he meant the ISIS flag.
Gutless little $hit$....
Yeah! Bunch of inbred rednecks at NASCAR! Nothing but racists southerners! BAN NASCAR! (hehe)
From now on, I’ll call the rainbow flag the ‘NASCAR’!
“when you had real Dodge 426 HEMI’s and Ford 427’s”
Aren’t all of the cars the same under the hood now? Something like that anyway. That disappointed me, now this.
Also, the drivers’ outfits are crammed with advertising. Not real manly.
Nascar hurt themselves with this one.
Don't they know it's not illegal aliens that watch their races and buy their products?
NASCAR needs to pay a heavy price for this bs. I would hope the NASCAR fans understand that.
I was thinking about going to the Richmond race. Not now.
That is for dang sure..
NASCAR done jumped the pond.
Sad. One more tradition.. One more capitulation.
We are in a prolonged fight for our very own roots..
Albeit we ever owned slaves or not.
Or smoked Winstons..
Or drove cars with octane higher than 93..
Never watched Nascar anyway. There was something that just didn’t ring true with the values that they trumpeted.
The short-fingered Bulgarian also has a fake college - Trump U. that he has foisted upon those illegal immigrants who are trying to get an education.
