NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France, who pulled a banquet from a Donald Trump-owned resort last year, endorsed Trump for president at a rally Monday that also included a few NASCAR drivers on stage....
Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis, a Lebanese-born entrepreneur who stars in the television reality show "The Profit," wrote a letter to NASCAR last summer that neither he nor any of his employees would attend the banquet of the series he sponsors -- the Camping World Truck Series -- if it was held at the Trump National Doral Miami resort because of Trump's comments about immigrants. NASCAR relocated the banquet.
Lemonis took to Twitter on Monday night....

By the way, should we really listen to this Lemonis guy? After all, he IS just a reality show star, right???

“because of Trump’s comments about immigrants”
What did Trump say about immigrants?
Trump said he welcomes immigrants to the US as long as they come here legally and are properly vetted. For some reason certain loons find that offensive.
Tell the sandrat to go pound sand!
Well, there are plenty of other options for an RV purchase out there.
This guy might be in for a bit of a backlash from the NASCAR ticket buyers. Just a guess.
from the article:
“NASCAR chairman Brian France, above, voiced support for presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday, which brought a strong response from Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis.”
looks like what we have here is a bit of a urination competition.
Uhm... NASCAR is a demographic that I don’t believe any Trump haters want to tick off.
NASCAR itself might be falling over the liberal PC edge (like the NFL) but NASCAR fans are by-God freedom loving Americans.
If I were the CEO of a company, I don’t believe I would try to push my agenda on NASCAR fans.
I don’t know.
I recall him saying something about invaders that cross our borders illegally.
I don’t recall him ever saying anything bad about legitimate immigrants.
Me neither.
He was the prime influence in the cancellation of the Doral events sponsored with the NASCAR name for the same stupid reasons.
Looks like a prime publicity opening for Dick Gore’s RV World, or even many others.
It was the comment where Trump called them “rapists” and “murderers”, especially the gangs and Mexicans involved in the drug trade.

Oh, ok. He doesn’t like what Trump said about ILLEGAL immigrants.
He is not just the CEO of a company, he is the CEO of the company that sponsors NASCAR’s truck series. He is a part of NASCAR. Modern NASCAR owners and higher officials are not as conservative as the core racing fans. Go check the links between The France family and the Pink Ribbon bunch, and the connections to Planned Parenthood. Not everyone who races is a Trump supporter but France tried to make it seem like they are.
Camping world is the Wal-Mart of RV stores. Cheap junk from third world nations. They will also rip you off when it comes to performing maintenance on your rig.
Mar Lemonis ran as a Democrat for the Florida House.
