New Headline: "Daniel Dye's Reign Ends: Blast Heard as Maluku Clash Rocks Out
The Kaulig Racing driver will be suspended indefinitely for the second time in the last four years for comments he made about an IndyCar driver.
A NASCAR driver is being suspended indefinitely due to comments he made on social media. Kaulig Racing is suspending Daniel Dye, the driver of the No. 10 Ram, for what he said during a livestream about IndyCar driver David Malukas.
Dye was on a livestream opening trading card packs on Whatnot and said he spoke with Malukas in February at the IndyCar Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Dye said he asked Malukas if he races on any ovals.
"He was like distraught that I asked him that question like, 'Yeah, we race Nashville and Iowa,'" Dye said. "He was like, ‘Oh my gosh, yes, we race Indianapolis, love Indianapolis, and Roger Penske, I love Roger. Love you, Roger.
'" The next line is what drew criticism and led to his suspension from Kaulig Racing. "As soon as I start doing a David Malukas 'gay voice' I get a gold so let's keep it going," Dye said. Kaulig Racing confirmed Tuesday they have suspended Dye indefinitely for what he said on the livestream.
