The “Let’s Go Brandon” chant began as an attempt to cover up the equivalent, explicit utterance at the [[NASCAR]] Xfinity Series at the Talledega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama, which was “F*** Joe Biden.” Winner of the race, Brandon Brown, was interviewed by [[NBC News]] reporter Kelli Stavast, while the crowd chanted the now famous chant. However, Stavast covered up the explicit chants. “You can hear the chants from the crowd. Let’s go Brandon,” Stavast said.
