Driver required to complete sensitivity training after violating member conduct guidelines.
NASCAR Issues Indefinite Suspension to Daniel Dye Sean Gardner - Getty Images Kaulig Racing driver Daniel Dye has been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violating the sanctioning body’s member conduct guidelines. Dye, who is 13th in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series standings, must undergo sensitivity training before he can be reinstated. The suspension occurred after Dye made homophobic remarks about Team Penske NTT IndyCar Series driver David Malukas during a live stream.
In the live stream, Dye does an imitation and says, “As soon as I start doing a David Malukas gay voice, I get a gold so let’s keep it going. ” In the rulebook’s section detailing conduct guidelines, it states that NASCAR members “must not engage in behavior detrimental to the sport, including unsportsmanlike conduct, violent altercations, or discriminatory remarks. ” The section also outlines the disciplinary action that NASCAR can take for any conduct violations.
