The fall out from endorsing Trump, NASCAR!

The CEO is of Camping World, which is the series' leading sponsor for the trucks series, is a Lebanese-born American has become highly disappointed with the Chairman of NASCAR and a few of the drivers for the endorsement of Trump. Although Camping World will pull their sponsor from the series, they will continue to boycott any dealing with that to involve Trump in anyway. Trump Dural resort in Florida has been hosting the awards ceremonies for the drivers in the truck series.

Just wonder how may others CEOs feel they same and this could hurt NASCAR's images for months and years to come. The top series for NASCAR, is currently looking for a new sponsor. Sprint announced last year that would be no long the leading sponsor and has no correlation to this story, but to land a top name sponsor just became increasingly harder.

Not only has Trump damage the political, he is damaging everything in this world.

But by NASCAR standards he might be labeled a bleeding heart liberal.

I think you meant to say Camping World won't pull their sponsorship from the series.
