(FOX 40) A medical marijuana advocate was hoping to get national attention sponsoring a “cannabis car” at the NASCAR race Saturday night at the All American Speedway in Roseville.
Brad Lane with Cannabis Planet Productions does a TV show about medical marijuana. He was expecting his logo all over car number 38. But that didn’t happen.
Lane thinks the logos weren’t allowed because of the marijuana leafs, but NASCAR says it never got any paperwork required to approve Cannabis Planet as a sponsor.
Car number 38 was able to run the race, but with no sign of anything having to do with cannabis.
NASCAR never got the paperwork, huh? Or could it be that all those beer sponsors of NASCAR didn’t like the idea? We shall see – keep at it, Brad!

For a long time I’ve felt that NASCAR was the perfect avenue for for medical marijuana. It’s a good chance for it to redeem itself from its “moonshine” beginnings. After all alcohol has caused more damage than marijuana ever thought about.
Ray, find me on FB please sir. Legalies09876@myspace.com
I was so happy to see the car with the leaf…that I put it out on my facebook….I am so tired of being used, abused, ignored, searched, imprisoned……..end this bleep, bleep,bleep,bleep prohibition….this assulting of americans….Jah, please help us.
I saw the promotional vid for the car, with a big-ass pot leaf on the hood. Right when I saw it, I knew there was no way in hell NASCAR was going to allow that car to run with Cannabis Planet as a sponsor. Never got the paperwork, my ass.
Yah, lets see what they will say once the paperwork is turned in. What then, it will be written with the wrong color ink or typed with the wrong font?
Stupid stupid, how many times has this happened, have they banned other logos because of no paperwork? Dam now I need to know, oh Google
Agreed. Could not have said it better myself!
Can it really be called paranoia if “they” are, in fact, out to get you?
