Brandon Brown has become one of the most well-known names in the NASCAR Xfinity series. Unfortunately, his name got fame because of the political slogan “Let’s Go, Brandon”. However, with the help of another fan, he seems to have completely changed its meaning to something beautiful. And the story of this fan will surely leave you in awe.

Brandon Brundidge, an 8-year-old Autistic kid from Minnesota, saw signs with the slogan “Let’s Go Brandon” everywhere. However, he didn’t understand the true political meaning behind it. Rather, he saw it in a positive light, thinking they were slogans made to motivate him to do even better, as his name is Brandon as well.

The mother of the 8-year-old fan, Sheletta Brundidge, even wrote a book about Brandon’s story, titled “Brandon Spots His Sign.” Moreover, Brandon Brown couldn’t be happier about the new take on the slogan with his name.

“To have this come through was like that breakthrough moment for us,”  Brown said. “This can be positive. This can be good. It doesn’t have to be hateful or divisive.”
