I'm curious about the aerodynamics of that fin sticking up on the driver's side of the truckbed; there doesn't seem to be one on the opposite side.

It's the "sharkfin". It's an attempt to keep the cars from going airborne in wrecks at the superspeedways.

"Keep politics out of sports"

Standing for the anthem, as the text on the car is promoting, is patriotic tradition. It isn't politically divisive.

But kneeling in protest and making a scene is politically divisive.

Politics isn't just the stuff that's divisive. Sports are littered with Department of Defense partnerships, military tributes and flyovers that aren't divisive, but are absolutely political

Bitching about other people protesting is also making a scene.

Not really sure the TC's point is, since this was done specifically in response to the NFL kneelers by folks who found their tantrum disrespectful. Here is more about this specific car:

No one gives a shit what the players do off the field.

because of all the many distractions and sedatives people enjoy to keep them disinterested and disengaged in important things, sports are their favourite

of course it's anathema for an athlete to remind them of the real world

Once more you don't know what the word Tantrum means, and also it is not keeping politics out of sports, lastly NASCAR is full people waving CSA flags all over the place. I say support a group who try to break up America is worse then taking a knee.

People got pissed off at Curry and Lebron for speaking out about Trump and this was before the current season even started.

Coaches, Kerr, Popp, and Van Gundy have all spoken out against him too though they didn't get much blowback i wonder why *thinking face*

Because you're making it up, that's why.

Outside of a few Trump supporters on Twitter, there was no backlash at all against Curry or LeBron.
