(WGHP) — NASCAR is flying the rainbow flag for Pride Month while also noting that “recent actions” may not have fallen in line with the organization’s pro-LGBTQ stance. If you want to bet on NASCAR events, you can rely on sites like tridewi slot.
“As we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, we acknowledge that recent actions have not aligned with NASCAR’s mission to be a welcoming sport for all,” NASCAR said in a statement on Twitter. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to create a more inclusive environment — in our workplaces, at the race track & in the stands.”
The organization did not directly address what those “recent actions” were, leaving some to speculate that it could be connected to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s appearance as “honorary” starter for the May 22 All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Associated Press reporter Jenna Fryer said on Twitter, “I’m not sure what this tweet is acknowledging… someone with the power to acknowledge such things admitted to me Abbott at Texas was a mistake. But below isn’t exactly clear which actions are out of alignment.”
Abbott has most recently been in headlines as the nation reels from a horrific May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Abbott’s appearance at the race was unrelated to the shooting as the race took place two days prior.
The possible “mistake” of inviting Abbott could be in relation to his controversial February directive for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents who get their transgender children gender-affirming medical care. The recommendation was not an order or law but did open up parents to face potential child abuse charges. The Texas Supreme Court ruled in May to allow the investigations to take place but added stipulations that officials could choose not to follow through on an investigation and that those who choose to investigate would need judge approval before taking action, according to Bloomberg.
NASCAR has been vocally supportive of the LGBTQ community, even after NASCAR President Steve Phelps made clear that the organization is not associated with politics “on the left or the right.”
In a first for the racing organization, NASCAR is working with the Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce as their Diversity, Equity & Inclusion partner for 2022.
“NASCAR is excited to partner with the Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce,” said Brandon Thompson, NASCAR’s vice president of diversity and inclusion, in January. “With NASCAR offices and much of our industry based in the Carolinas, we look forward to working with CLGBTCC in support of its mission to foster equity, inclusion and economic prosperity for the LGBTQ community.”

I hope the sports world has considered all the angles in their quest to join the counter culture and become woke. Changing long-standing team names and mascots—taking on social justice issues—giving a special nod to the LGBTQ community—thumbing the National Anthem—because they have obviously chosen to forsake their original position as entertainers and providing an escape from reality for the millions of fans they are now turning away.
Far too much has been taken away that made sports entertaining and enjoyable. They have bowed to Leftist political pressure and the end result is that it has lost a lot of its appeal—it just ain’t what it use to be.
Well, looks like nascar has joined the woke leftists in the list of sports i will never again watch.
Lets Go nascar.
how enclusive do you want to be nascrap ?
woke will put your product on ash heap of history, you already bent to the blm bubba wallace movement, now the queer flag is your
montra and you banned the confederate flag ailenated a large swath of people who made nascrap what it is or was..
i do not need another sports franchise to shove a lifestyle choice in my face and have me be tolerant to it and or accept it.
signed former nascar fan!
“In a first for the racing organization, NASCAR is working with the Carolinas LGBT Chamber of Commerce as their Diversity, Equity & Inclusion partner for 2022.”
The LGBTQ Con is just to want “equality acceptance and tolerance.”
These LGBTQ’s are the open practitioners of the infamous crime against GOD and nature,
Who sold their souls to the malicious, venomous bullies of Organized LGBTQ mafia.
These Sodomites, will not tolerate and will attack and attempt to destroy anyone and anything not accepting and promoting their degenerate, sexually perverted lifestyle.
Ones relationship with God is entirely between them and God
and one’s relationship with Satan is entirely between them and Satan.
Luke 16:13
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
“You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
I am so sick of being forced to “celebrate” everything and be more “inclusive”. The problem nowadays is if you’re just living your life and not bothering anyone, then that’s not good enough. You have to be a vocal left wing activist or else you’re a terrible person, apparently. You have to agree that some of us are victims and some of us are oppressors. You have to agree our country was founded on slavery and everything that has happened since then has been invalid. It’s just assumed that certain Democrat constituency groups need coddling, protection, praise, affirmation, etc… because society is just out to get them. We wake up every day thinking how can I abuse this or that type of person today? It needs to stop and we need to get back to just treating each other with respect and not constantly trying to find some way you’re being slighted so you can prove our society is intolerant.
I am beginning to believe that the Democrat Party is a satanic cult and its supporters a but disciples of Satan.
Just look at what Democrats teach, encourage and support – unborn baby killing, transgender, every form of sexual perversions and Hate for anyone who doesn’t follow their demonic cult.
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them.
Matthew 7:12-16 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,
I AGREE 100%!!
We conservatives have always been, ‘live and let live.’ However, we are finding out that the leftists, the LGBTQ’s of the world, the Disney types, are targeting our children. Because of what these degenerates are doing, we conservatives, are no longer ‘live and let live!’ NASCAR? I will not watch you again. Keep your filthy, insalubrious, nasty claws, off our children!
IMO its because we’ve had that “live and let live” attitude for so long, the LEFT HAS gotten as powerful as it has become..
So NASCAR wants to celebrate LGBTQXTYZ etc. Big deal. Watching a rat on a treadmill is more interesting than watching someone drive in circles, maybe because one knows the rat is at least smart enough to get exercise. Furthermore, I’m embarrassed that so many of my fellow Southerners are obsessed with watching the descendant of some cotton-field jogger run with a leather ball, or throw a rubber ball through a barrel-stave mounted on a fence-gate pole. If more people were half as interested in the fate of this country as they are with watching the ball-runners and ball-throwers, we’d all be better off.
So where is the Straight chamber of commerence? Doesn’t the “chamber of commerence help all? Why do you need two? NASCAR is not going to be political but supports alphabate groups?
Well its just like why is there a WOMANS golf association, or national latino lawyers group etc… ONLY WE WHITES can’t have our own groups.. e veryone else can.
I am done with NASCAR. I watched and followed the sport religiously for many years. Bought tickets to watch the races live and spent entire weekends camping at the track to support them and the drivers but I am finished with them. Someone forgot to tell them one very important thing…………………………..”Get Woke, GO BROKE”!
