Earlier this week, we reported that Slayer’s iconic brand would cowl the No. 54 automotive at this weekend’s NASCAR race in Bristol, Tennessee, however now the band’s sponsorship of the automotive has apparently been pulled as a consequence of “reactionary considerations” from different sponsors.
An announcement issued at the moment by the band’s publicist reads, “Reportedly as a consequence of reactionary considerations from different long-time collaborating sponsors, Slayer has been pulled as the first sponsor, and all Slayer signage has been faraway from the automotive that was to be piloted by Monster Vitality NASCAR Cup Collection veteran, JJ Yeley. The incontrovertible PODS Transferring & Storage will now sponsor that automotive.”
The assertion concludes, “After almost 40 years, Slayer apparently stays as terrifying to some as ever.”
This specific Nascar occasion known as the Bass Professional Retailers NRA Evening Race, which apparently means the Nationwide Rifle Affiliation is much less controversial than Slayer, at the very least so far as NASCAR occasions go. We’ll go away it at that.

The No. 54 automotive was set to be pushed by JJ Yeley as a part of the Rick Ware Racing workforce. The now-removed design could be seen under.
Followers who do need to partake within the “terrifying” expertise that’s Slayer can catch the thrash-metal legends on the ultimate leg of their farewell tour. The trek — which options help from Primus, Ministry, and Philip Anselmo & The Illegals — kicks off November 2nd in Asheville, North Carolina, and wraps up with the band’s final present ever on November 30th in Los Angeles, California.
