The famed “Let’s go Brandon” driver has had a very interesting story. While the driver’s name got tangled up in a political chant, he also managed to make a name for himself in the Xfinity series. Recently, Brandon Brown did something very special. To give you a hint, Brown will not be racing alone in Road America. In fact, he has a very special teammate.
Brandon Brundidge, a fan, brought Brown an Autism pendant with his name and car number engraved on it. How adorable is that?! However, that’s not all. Brown will also wear the necklace during the race, making the fan a teammate! That’s just a beautiful gesture from the Xfinity driver.

On top of that, Brandon Brundidge’s mother, Sheletta, tweeted thanking the driver.
Yes! you read that right Brundidge’s book will ride on Brown’s car in the race. And NASCAR fans just couldn’t get enough of his beautiful gesture.
I think what you’re doing for your son is great, sharing his story and giving hope for autistic kids and their families. Only thing I suggest is not using the puzzle piece, as autistic people like Brandon and I are not puzzles to be solved. We’re people full of infinite potential

I can’t tell you how much I love this! I’m the hauler drivers wife and our middle daughter is on the spectrum. She was “raised up” at the race track but hated the noise!

What an NBC reporter believed the fans’ chant to be “Let’s go Brandon!” was actually a chant against the 46th President of the United States of America, Joe Biden.
Soon, “Let’s go Brandon” became a meme, and many NASCAR fans started using the chant against the President.

It’s unfortunate how a driver’s win got tangled up in political matters.
