Imagine if you will. NASCAR allows race hustler Bubba Wallace to get away with a stunt like the garage pull after claiming it was a noose. Then they go ahead and SUSPEND Noah Gragson for LIKING a meme mocking George Floyd.
Even if Gragson posted the meme, there was nothing vulgar about it. But you know, George Floyd is somehow anointed to royalty after Minnesota.
“We have made the decision to suspend Noah Gragson effective immediately regarding his actions that do not represent the values of our team,” Legacy Motor Club said in a statement. “Josh Berry will drive the No. 42 entry for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan.”
NASCAR not only agreed with the decision to suspend Gragson, but also suspended him indefinitely.
“NASCAR fully supports Legacy Motor Club’s decision to suspend Noah Gragson,” the racing association stated. “Following his actions on social media, NASCAR has determined that Gragson has violated the Member Conduct section of the 2023 NASCAR Rule Book and has placed him under indefinite suspension.”
Gragson issued an apology online following his suspension.
