Trump receives warm welcome at North Carolina’s NASCAR event
In a spectacular event held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, former President Donald Trump received an overjoyed welcome at NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 race in North Carolina. With crowds chanting “USA, USA, USA”, Trump’s presence was met with patriotism and enthusiasm. The influential swing state of North Carolina, crucial in the upcoming November election, is a force to be reckoned with. The support for Trump was further bolstered by NASCAR legend Richard Petty along with tweets and internet posts from locals, creating a considerable buzz. Apart from engaging with the crowd, Trump also met with Gold Star families of fallen US service members and local law enforcement. Ultimately, the echoes of “USA, USA, USA” triumphed over any opposing sentiments in a show of support for Trump.
Trump Gets Hero’s Greeting at NASCAR Race in Swing State North Carolina

When it comes to American voters, chants of “USA, USA, USA,” will trump “FJB” any day of the week.
And that was the kind of patriotic, hero’s welcome that greeted former President Donald Trump on Sunday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, according to the Durham Herald-Sun.
And in a state that could be key to the November election, that could make all the difference.
The setting was NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600, drawing a crowd of 80,000, the Herald-Sun reported.
Check out some of the scenes here:

Even NASCAR legend Richard Petty got in on the act.

Rightful President Trump has made HISTORY as the first President to ever attend this event.
Meanwhile, Biden is vacationing.

Astute Americans will remember that NASCAR is the sport that inadvertently gave the nation “Let’s Go Brandon,” the sarcastic bowdlerization of a more obscene slogan that made its way into the political vocabulary in 2021 when an NBC reporter misinterpreted (accidentally or otherwise) the crowd chanting “f*ck Joe Biden” after a race at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway was won by driver Brandon Browne.
Will Trump win in November?
From its NASCAR roots, “let’s go, Brandon” has become a rallying cry — along with the initialism “FJB” and its more explicit source phrase — among Americans disgusted with President Joe Biden’s maladministration of the country, from the humiliation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan to the ongoing festering wounds of unaffordable inflation and a dangerously open southern border.
The kind of sentiments, in other words, that are powering Trump’s lead in presidential polls.
Whoever wins in November, North Carolina and its 16 Electoral College votes are going to be key.
North Carolina has a history of going Republican in presidential contests, as the website 270towin notes. Since Ronald Reagan’s victory in 1980, it has voted for the Democratic candidate only once, when Barack Obama was in his first bid for the White House.
But Democrats aren’t a pushover there. Gov. Roy Cooper is a member of Biden’s party.
Trump’s 2020 win in the Tar Heel State came by only 1.3 percent of the vote, according to U.S. News & World Report — less than half of his 3.6 percentage point lead in 2016.
Those numbers, and the fact that the Biden campaign is planning to fight hard for the state, according to NPR (a semi-official mouthpiece for any Democratic administration), make it a potentially crucial swing state.
That goes a long way toward explaining Trump’s presence.
But his visit wasn’t all glad-handing the likes of Richard Petty.
According to the Sun-Herald, Trump visited with Gold Star families of fallen U.S. service members, as well as the family of a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer who was killed along with three other law enforcement agents while serving a warrant on April 29.
Trump also met with Officer Christopher Tolley, who was wounded in that infuriating incident.
But those meetings aren’t the images that are coming out of Trump’s presidential visit to the Coca-Cola 600 — a first for the track’s history, according to USA Today.
The images that are resonating are the hero’s welcome Trump received — and the chants of “USA, USA, USA” that no doubt rang in his ears.
And that will beat “FJB” any day at all.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.
Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.
And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.
The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.
We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.
But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.
The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?
With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
Thank you for reading,
Josh Manning
