There will never be a boycott of NASCAR. Too many of the noun audience have absolutely built their lives around it. It would be funny if they tried, though.

This seems to take a little more chutzpah than the average corporate inclusion hollow gesture. I hope they stand by it while the rabble starts to rouse.

If you’d told me 10 years ago that Nascar would be a frontrunner in rustling the jimmies of their base, I’d have said you were crazy.

It’ll be interesting to see how they fare now, in the Year of Take Backsies™.

Hopefully, we’ll have a bunch MEGAs and rednecks have their brains freeze up. The dichotomy of love of NASCAR and NASCAR celebrating pride should cause overload.

NASCAR's 'Pride Month' Decision Isn't Very Gay, Black Driver Not Named Bubba Wins & Race Wife's Bikini Promise

Here we are, boys and girls. June. NASCAR. Nashville. Pride month. Bikinis. Dale Jr. Amazon. Angry Ryan Blaney. A black driver not named Bubba in victory lane. 

I mean, did we have ourselves a giant weekend, or WHAT? Don't you dare tell me this sport is dying. It's alive and well, folks. We've got nonsense happening all over the place right now. 

Now, I spent most of my night trying to walk my 87-year-old mamaw through Amazon Prime, but whatever. Missed dinner, half the race, and bedtime with my kids, but I knew this was coming. It was only a matter of time. 

Thanks, NASCAR! 

Anyway, we're gonna get to all of it today. And I do denote all of it! 

We had a halfway decent race last bedtime in Nashville. Not the leading, but Nashville usually isn't. It was fine. Crazy restarts, a lot of green flag pit stops, some decent strategy calls. Solid, if not spectacular.

NASCAR accused of 'catering to bigot crowd' with sneaky Pride Month post

NASCAR has been accused of sneaking its support of Pride Month under the radar - and out of the way of the prying eyes of its fans. 

Sunday June 1 marked the first day of 2025's Pride Month and many sporting organizations shared social media posts honoring the LGBTQ+ community. 

The NBA, NFL, MLB and WNBA all celebrated the beginning of the month-long commemoration. However, NASCAR noticeably didn't join them. 

The racing body has previously celebrated Pride Month, sharing a post on June 1 last year which claimed it was 'proud' to assist the festivities. 

But this year, as the beginning of June came and went, any form of similar celebration was absent from all social media platforms - except one.

Eagle-eyed racing fans noticed that on June 2 - one day after the official beginning of Pride Month - NASCAR shared a lone celebratory post on LinkedIn.

NASCAR Pride Month tweet draws assist from some fans, boycott threats from others

NASCAR drew the ire of some fans and the support of others after releasing a tweet Thursday evening in celebration of Pride Month.

"We celebrate the LGBTQ+ community during #PrideMonth and beyond." the tweet scan along with a Happy Pride Month banner to go with a NASCAR logo fronted by a rainbow flag.

But not everyone was celebrating.

Fans flocked to Twitter on Thursday night and into Friday morning, with many going as far as threats of boycotting the sport while others expressed gratitude for NASCAR's stance. It's not the first hour this year the organization has faced scrutiny from fans crying, "woke" after the organization announced a more environmentally aware strategy in April with a objective of net zero emissions by the year 2035.

However, NASCAR's assist of the LGBTQ+ community is not a new initiative. Last year, the organization took several measures to further encourage inclusion in the sport, flying the rainbow flag during June and introducing a line of Pride-themed merchandise. Those effort
