.

“I feel for Brandon,” Phelps said, according to USA Today.

“I think, unfortunately, it speaks to the state of where we are as a country. We do not want to associate ourselves with Politics, the left or the right. We obviously have and we’ve always had, as a sport, tremendous respect for the office of the president — no matter who is sitting,” he said.

Phelps said that NASCAR does not want its logo used in connection with the slogan, and the company will be cracking down on people who use NASCAR’s trademarks in ways NASCAR does not like.

“This is how bad it is, and you make some jokes about it, and some people get all fired up,” he said.

“Think about the things they said about President Trump. Let’s just hope we can turn some of these bad policies around here real quick,” he said.
