Overview
- Clips from a Whatnot trading-card livestream showed Dye mocking IndyCar driver David Malukas with a self-described "gay voice," prompting swift action Tuesday.
- NASCAR cited Rule 4.3.C, which bars public statements that disparage someone based on sexual orientation, in issuing the indefinite suspension.
- Kaulig Racing also sidelined the No. 10 Ram Truck Series driver and has not named a replacement for this weekend’s Darlington race.
- Dye posted a public apology to Malukas on social media, calling his remarks careless and saying he is taking the matter seriously.
- Malukas and Team Penske have not publicly commented, and the penalty is Dye’s second career suspension after a 2022 ARCA case that led to reinstatement when charges were reduced.
