Just 4 days ago, we reported that Slayer would make their NASCAR debut on the car of veteran racer JJ Yeley. Turns out that is no longer happening. Slayer put a press release out and it seems that other NASCAR sponsors couldn’t handle the “evil.”
“Today, reportedly due to reactionary concerns from other long-time participating sponsors, Slayer has been pulled as the primary sponsor, and all Slayer signage has been removed from the car that was to be piloted by Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series veteran, JJ Yeley. The incontrovertible PODS Moving & Storage will now sponsor that car. After nearly 40 years, Slayer apparently remains as terrifying to some as ever.”
JJ Yeley took to Twitter to express his disappointment with the decision and appreciation for Slayer:

FOX Sports NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass tweeted:
“For those asking about the Rick Ware Racing Slayer sponsor that was on the entry list, Rick told me that was the tentative plan but he ended up not doing the deal.”
