In a stunning turn of events, NASCAR driver Kyle Larson reportedly sent a blunt five-word message to the organization just 30 minutes ago: āWe race, not do politics.ā This comes in the wake of a jaw-dropping $50 million fine levied against Hendrick Motorsports for its refusal to post a Pride Month message on its official social media channels.
According to insider sources, NASCAR had requested all teams make a public show of support for Pride Month as part of a broader inclusion initiative. While most teams complied, Hendrick Motorsportsā silence drew sharp internal criticism, leading to a historic fine.
The situation escalated when Larson, one of Hendrick’s star drivers, publicly backed the team and issued his now-viral message. NASCAR chairman Jim France is reportedly āshockedā and ādeeply concernedā about the growing backlash and division within the sport.
Fans across social media are fiercely divided. Some are praising Larson for standing firm on keeping politics out of racing, while others are calling for stronger accountability and support for LGBTQ+ communities in professional sports.
With tempers flaring, this incident may redefine the boundaries between personal belief, team autonomy, and league-wide social responsibility.
