Angry NASCAR Fans Are Roasting Subway For Dropping Suárez's Sponsorship Over A Donut
Angry NASCAR Fans Are Roasting Subway For Dropping Suárez's Sponsorship Over A Donut-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:20

Fans of NASCAR Cup Series driver Daniel Suárez are particularly angry at Subway after they dropped Suárez’s sponsorship for handing out donuts from NASCAR broadcaster NBC’s corporate partner Dunkin Donuts. Anyone who’s ever had a bad Subway sandwich can appreciate the glorious grief NASCAR fans have been giving the poor soul in charge of Subway’s Twitter mentions.

Die-hard NASCAR fans are that special kind of loyal who will drink an entirely different kind of beer just because it’s the new beer on their driver’s car. So, you can imagine the fallout that comes from ending such a sponsorship early.

Mind you, Subway doesn’t even sell donuts—they’d rather serve up sandwiches with oddly shiny cheese that more closely resembles a petrochemical product instead of real, actual cheese. But why am I expending my effort elaborating upon their mighty sins against sandwiches when the Internet already came up with such good burns?

A rather unassuming (that will probably disintegrate into a lukewarm syrupy mess no less than two minutes after you unwrap it) was the target of most of the donut chat, although random @s came in elsewhere, too. Time to make the donuts!

At least a couple fans in the Great Joe Gibbs Racing Donut @-Mentions Of 2017 thought Subway was insinuating that NASCAR fans don’t have all their teeth.

(Don’t look in my mouth, dude. They’re all there, but and . Like, oh, .)

And some just spoke the cold, hard truth:

But this, friends, is The King of all burns:

I will say this much about the #brands: if Dunkin Donuts doesn’t immediately swoop in to sponsor Suárez’s No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, that will be the missed opportunity of the century. I mean, when fans are already MS Paint-ing you onto the car over another brand’s total snafu, you pretty much have to.

The World's Biggest Off-Road Race Is Trying A Weird New Promo
The World's Biggest Off-Road Race Is Trying A Weird New Promo
The formula for off-road videos has become pretty predictable; big landscape pan, slow-motion mud slinging, dramatic music. The official promo reel for the 2016 Dakar Rally has that. Also, some visuals I’m not sure what to make of. If you couldn’t be bothered to sit through two and a half...

The Longer, Wider And Faster Cars Heading To Formula One In 2017
Formula One teams are already working on the 2017-spec cars based on agreed upon changes to the car’s dimensions, so put together a render comparing the likely 2017-spec car to this year’s Mercedes car to illustrate the differences. It’s a radically different car with more downforce than ever before. Specifically,...

Volvo Once Absolutely Dominated Rallycross
Volvo Once Absolutely Dominated Rallycross
Volvo might be the most sweet, staid, unassuming car company in existence. Little did I know that they used to absolutely dominate the completely manic door-to-door smashing and bashing world of European Rallycross. Above is the diminutive Volvo 343. It looked like just about any other weedy little rear-drive hatchback...

How To Enjoy A Track Day Without A Car
How does one end up at a track day without a car? In my case, it was because I foolishly agreed to ride shotgun across the country from New York to California, in a smelly friend’s , all so he could do a track day at Laguna Seca. But I’d...
