Natalie Decker parked her truck during Friday's race at Dover after just 81 laps after NASCAR black-flagged her for being too slow.
That, of course, isn't the whole story. Not even close.
Decker essentially rage-quit during the race, suffering one of the most stunning in-car meltdowns I have ever heard. And folks, I've heard A LOT over the radio in all my years covering NASCAR. Frankly, until yesterday, I thought I'd heard it all.
You guys, I'm trying to hold my s--- together, but I don't want to keep doing this," a crying Decker begins after being told to come down pit road for a pass-through penalty.
"There’s just so many s----- things that I could say right now, and I’m just trying to keep it together, about the f---ing director of the series."
"Let's remember what's on our truck, and just bring it to the garage, right?" said team owner Josh Reaume, referring, clearly, to the sponsors.
"I feel like a f---ing failure if I do that," she responded. "There’s so many things I want to say and I’m probably going to get f---ing suspended, you have no idea."
"I’m sorry Josh, I’m not going to come back to the Truck Series," she continued. "I’m staying in the O’Reilly Series, this series f---ing sucks. The amount of hate I’m going to get online for this is just going to be insane. I’m not ready."

Thank you very much and God bless you,

I used to know a couple track workers, corner types and minor officials. They worked the races and tracks from North Carolina to Pennsylvania.
They started noticing stands emptying out around 2010. Everyone they talked to said the same thing. Races had become boring and tickets were too expensive.
Thank God she wasnt a female Army helo pilot or something like that….
It’s bad luck to have a female in the pits! Tell this broad to shut up and go make some sandwiches....No empathy at all for this woke/dei crap. NASCAR is not a part time gig...she should try “onlyfans”
Women’s space distance velocity cognizance is generally inferior to men
They ride my ass too looking at phone or gripping wheel 10/2 like it’s a sale item at Nordstrom’s
Oblivious that it’s recommended 7- 8 cars space at 70-75
My wife is a good driver though admittedly
I sleep at times even
But she’s an exception
I wake up she’s doing 100
I’m like who’s paying ticket baby?
She smiles
“Well you are of course honey”
lol
She tried to parallel park the truck but couldn’t do it.
I think NASCAR has been on borrowed time since stock cars stopped being “Stock”. The cars are essentially all the same except for the badge.
Was at Daytona when Dale hit the wall, BTW.
She can only race 3 weeks out of the month…..
100%. NASCAR left me. Actually Detroit did, then NASCAR did.
Fine. Let her drive an automatic.
There’s no crying in NASCAR!!!!!!!.........😁

Brian France was the beginning of the end for DEI-Noosecar.
I’ll never forget the sight of a mom putting her car in park while she spun around inside and read the riot act to her kids. This was in the middle lane of a six-lane interstate. It didn’t seem to matter that her vehicle could be rear-ended at any moment and that horns were honking all around. She had had enough!
PMS 500
They'd pay to have this kind of "controversy" each week. It sells. Few cared about truck racing and few knew her name until this stunt.
She'll set up an OnlyFools account, show her body naked online to strangers, and help launder a bunch of money.
She done an MTG.
It sounds like there’s a truck series, a stock car series (I think that is the main event), maybe a motorcycle series, etc.
BUT DRAG RACING HAS MANY FEMALE DRIVERS-— & THEY ARE GOING ALOT FASTER-—
SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY & ERICA ENDERS NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM......
OR PAULA MURPHY WHO GOT THE FIRST FEMALE FUNNY CAR LICENSE-—MANY YEARS AGO
