NASCAR Driver Suspended Over Using ‘Gay Voice’ During Livestream

NASCAR handed down an indefinite suspension Tuesday to Craftsman Truck Series driver Daniel Dye following a livestream incident in which the 22-year-old mocked IndyCar driver David Malukas with what he himself referred to as a “gay voice.”

The suspension marks the second major penalty of Dye’s young racing career.

Dye drives the No. 10 Ram 1500 for Kaulig Racing in NASCAR’s third-tier Craftsman Truck Series, a developmental circuit below the top Cup Series and the second-tier O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

The incident took place Monday evening on Whatnot, an online marketplace platform where sellers host live video auctions.

Dye was sorting through trading cards alongside fellow NASCAR O’Reilly Series driver Brent Crews and Crews’ stepfather, Matt Lankford, when the exchange occurred.
