he used the word “gay.”<\/a> And did the classic “voice” that we all used to do in middle school.\u00a0<\/p>\nIt was all in reference to IndyCar driver David Malukas. And, because it’s 2026 and kids are idiots, it was all caught on a livestream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brace yourselves for this DISGUSTING NSFW video:<\/p>\n
THIS is why NASCAR suspended Daniel Dye?<\/p>\n
Yes, that’s the video. That’s it. That’s literally it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’ll be honest with you, I saw this “story” circulating NASCAR Twitter Tuesday evening, but didn’t get to watch the actual video because I have two kids and the fair is in town.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, I waited until this morning to watch it, and I was fully prepared for Dye to just be dropping slur after slur after slur. I thought I’d have to go to church after watching it. I figured I’d immediately just go hug my kids tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The #MOB \u2013 including NASCAR media \u2013 made it sound like Dye had basically committed murder over the livestream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2026 And that was it? What a letdown. Between the USA crapping the bed last night, and THAT video this morning, life has just been full of letdowns the past 12 hours or so.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Naturally, the internet #MOB attacked Dye, and Kaulig Racing\/NASCAR suspended him mere hours after the DISGUSTING attack went viral:<\/p>\n
“There’s a good chance David ends up seeing this.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goodness gracious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I mean \u2026 come on. What are we doing here? Seriously? Again, Dye should be suspended for simply not being funny. That, I would 100% understand. Send him to Improv class, NASCAR, not “sensitivity training.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
And before the wokes attack me, no, I’m not “defending” Daniel Dye over this. I’m saying “this” is stupid. He didn’t use a homophobic slur. That’s the headline-grabber, right? I get it. But come on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let’s not act like Daniel Dye looked at the camera and called David Malukas a very nasty name that I won’t say, but you all know it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn’t do that. He made a voice which the AP said “made inferences about Malukas’ sexuality,” and then Dye himself called it a “David Malukas gay voice.” That’s it, as far as I can tell. Did I miss anything?\u00a0<\/p>\n
And he was suspended over it? Again, come on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don’t think Daniel Dye is a great driver. By all accounts, he’s probably not the best human \u2013 although he’s 22-years-old, so he’s also just a dumb kid. For example, this is the second time he’s been suspended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first happened back when he was 18, and happened because he punched a kid in the testicles in high school. That’s a true story, by the way. I was working in Daytona at the time. Dye went to a Daytona-based high school. It was all the talk in town.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dye was suspended by ARCA (owned by NASCAR), and was only reinstated when the charges were dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, yes, Daniel Dye is an idiot. And he’s not a great racer. And, again, probably not the best human out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the “outrage” over THAT 30-second clip is almost as painful as the context itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
