Dear Brian,
My company, Camping World/Good Sam, has enjoyed a long running relationship with NASCAR as I
believe the vision of our companies both embody family, respect, unity, comradery and diversity. These
sentiments are at the core of what our country stands for and will continue to embrace.
Last year, our NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Awards Ceremony was held at the Trump National
Doral in Miami, and due to recent and ongoing blatantly bigoted and racist comments from Donald
Trump in regards to immigrants of the United States, I would like to inform you that I will not, nor will
any representative of Camping World, participate or attend in the ceremonial event if it is held at any
Trump property.
Our company will not stand to support any person or organization that associates with such beliefs and
we feel strongly about distancing ourselves from any negative and discriminatory comments made
against any gender, ethnicity, age group or so forth. I would hope that the entire NASCAR organization
would agree with my sentiments.
Please confirm receipt of my letter as soon as possible so that we can discuss this serious matter. I
appreciate the relationship that Camping World and NASCAR have nurtured over the past few years and
thank you for promptly addressing this.
Sincerely,
Marcus Lemonis
CEO & Chairman of Camping World/Good Sam
