   NASCAR driver Brandon Brown says 'it's been tough to connect with   
   partnerships'   
      
   The NASCAR driver who recently rose in fame after unintentionally   
   sparking the "Let’s Go Brandon!" phrase says he’s had a hard time   
   finding corporate sponsors following the chant going viral.   
      
   "It got extremely difficult for us. … If you’re a national   
   corporation, that means you sell to all consumers … and   
   unfortunately, when you get dragged into the political arena, people   
   want you to take a side,’" Brown told Sports Business Journal in a   
   recent interview.   
      
   "It's hard for a brand to want to attach to somebody who might be   
   kind of divisive in their consumer base. If I'm going to divide   
   Coca-Cola, why would they want to talk to me?"   
      
   HOW 'LET'S GO BRANDON!' BECAME A NATIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION   
      
   The phrase "Let’s Go Brandon" took over social media In October   
   after an NBC interview with Brown. Fans of NASCAR were chanting   
   "F--- Joe Biden" during the interview, and in an apparent attempt to   
   steer the interview away from politics, reporter Kelli Stavast said   
   they were chanting "Let’s Go Brandon" in support of Brown.   
      
   DAD TELLS BIDEN, 'LET'S GO, BRANDON' DURING CHRISTMAS EVE CALL — AND   
   BIDEN RESPONDS   
      
   The phrase soon became synonymous with criticisms of President   
   Biden, and rang out at concerts, sports games and events where Biden   
   has spoken.   
      
      
   Just on Christmas Eve, controversy was sparked when a dad of four   
   called to speak with Biden and the first lady during a holiday-   
   themed event and said the phrase live on the call.

   MELTDOWN   
      
   "I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas as well. Merry Christmas   
   and Let’s go, Brandon!" the dad, identified as Jared Schmeck from   
   Oregon, said at the end of the call.   
      
      
   The president then asked Schmeck where in Oregon he is from, but no   
   one responded.   
      
   "I think we lost him," Biden said.
