NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Daniel Dye will be out of his truck indefinitely after making comments about IndyCar driver David Malukas during a livestream.
Dye was doing a livestream for the shopping app Whatnot when he started telling a story about meeting Malukas at an event to promote the IndyCar and Craftsman Truck Series doubleheader in St. Petersburg several weeks ago.
The story started off being about how Dye didn't know who Malukas was and thought he was a driver in the Mazda MX-5 Cup, not a driver on one of the top teams in IndyCar.

The whole point was Malukas had become "Big Dave" and Dye was trying to reference "Little David" and play the "Little David" voice.
And we know NASCAR drivers are prone to comedy skits. His choice of words on the livestream were wrong. Probably Malukas and Dye will meet for lunch one of these days because it was evident that he was referring to Malukas' own comments about moving to the big time.
Whatever. Free speech continues to lose its luster
NASCAR is the worst form of racing in the world.
They should adopt the Aussie V8 Supercar rules.
Its utterly ridiculous they suspended him for that...its also utterly ridiculous a guy who races trucks is mocking an open wheel driver whose cars average over 230 MPH on an oval...
Trash talking might hurt someone’s feelings don’t ya know. Bad driver, bad!!
Imagine Dick Butkus getting flagged for pointing out the shortcomings of the offensive lineman who’s trying to stop him 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Absolutely ridiculous.
So would they ban Ricky Bobby?
Open wheel “racing” is easy to mock and deservedly so
We have become a nation of sissies.
You can even volunteer and be part of it as a ham radio operator, marshal, sweep team, organizer, time keeper, crew member, etc.
Trying to see when the first of the IHRA stock car race will be...
Robert Pressley (father of 22 Penske spotter Coleman) is the race director for the IHRA Late Models.
The Confederate ban was based on Sir Lewis Hamilton’s request to the FIA in 2020 as part of the FIA End Racism and We Race As One campaigns.
NASCAR is the founding partner of the national governing body of motorsport, the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States, which celebrates 70 years this year; ACCUS was founded after Sen. Neuenberger (D-OR) pushed to ban motor racing after the 1955 24 Heures du Mans, and the result was AAA shut the Contest Board down. When the SCCA and USAC squabbled in a 1956 FIA meeting on replacing the AAA Contest Board, NASCAR sent the most logical proposal, and is run by NASCAR, INDYCAR, USAC, SCCA, IMSA, NHRA, and WKA (which governs the CIK in the United States, per FIA regulation). ACCUS is required to follow FIA rules.
“ started doing what he referred to as a “David Malukas gay voice” and wouldn’t stop.”
So who is it that thinks being gay is a bad thing? To me it looks like NASCAR.
You be the judge.

Should have called it “Little Dave voice”. If you understand Mr. Malukas’ reference, it makes sense, but he probably hasn’t understood (because they did not teach him in school) fundamentals.
Odd. That “voice” is not generally considered “gay” but is labeled a Valley Girl ‘uptalker’ voice. If Dye himself hadn’t labeled it a “gay” voice...there probably wouldn’t have been any blowback.
Dye is too young for Valley Girl (born in the 21st century). He probably has never heard of that when he was referencing that.
If he was a little older, he probably would have used that phrase.
It's been a little more intricate than just circles for a while.
Does this involve someone dissing a colored boy?
How can anyone make sense of all those acronyms? I know it is hard to write such a post without abbreviating but why even bother when someone would have to spend twenty minutes looking up what all the acronyms are?
NASCAR ain’t what it used to be, and not for the better.
Old NASCAR race clips randomly play all the time on the ‘net. Old NASCAR was great. Now...spit
One could say NASCAR died with the Terminator at Daytona in 2001.
