@DaleJr

I want Tyler to be successful because he’s fun to watch. Now I see he’s also one that is willing to speak out on something he believes in. Good on you Tyler. You will receive both support and pushback. But I appreciate you, @tydillon
, and others for speaking your mind.

It hurts to see our country being torn apart by racism & hate. I can’t pretend to understand what black men & women have experienced but I can speak out & condemn racial inequality. I hope love for all mankind can prevail & make changes to build a better future for our children

Ryan Blaney is a big Nascar star that supports the protests.
His best friend is Bubba Wallace (driver that is a POC)
Also supporting the protests is Austin Dillon and Daniel Suarez.

The owner of Camping World that sponsors the Nascar trucks is a Liberal Democrat. The yearly awards banquet was to be held at a Trump property in Vegas a few years. Camping World refused the location and it was moved.

shitbag to Janet Guthrie when she began competing in the 1970s, despite showing she was an incredibly capable driver. Actually, I think Petty may own the team that Bubba Wallace drives for, so maybe he’s evolved since then.
