NASCAR and a marijuana vaping company disagreed on whether its sponsorship of Carl Long's car had been approved for the race weekend at Kansas Speedway.
The Associated Press reports that NASCAR Monster Energy Cup driver Carl Long's team on Friday had to remove the hood logo for the Colorado-based Veedverks from Long's No. 66 Chevrolet.
A NASCAR spokesman said the logo and sponsorship by Veedverks had not been approved beforehand, which is standard procedure for the sanctioning body.

However, a spokesperson for the Denver-based Veedverks said in a Facebook post that NASCAR had approved the sponsorship.
They approved it, we spent the money, then they stripped our logo off the car without so much as an apology," the post read. "We are still sponsoring Carl because our word is our bond. Go Carl! #66."
