Noah Gragson Suspension upset the NASCAR Fans amid Controversial Social Media Activity
Noah Gragson, one of the best drivers in the NASCAR was reportedly suspended by the NASCAR and Legacy Motorclub due to a social media activity from him just a few days ago.
According to the reports, last week Gragson appears to like a meme that mocked George Floyd’s death on Instagram. Then later someone uploaded the screenshot of the moment Gragson’s account liked the meme on social media.
Then Gragson himself came out to clarify his actions.
“I am disappointed in myself for my lack of attention and actions on social media,” Gragson posted to his account. “I understand the severity of this situation. I love and appreciate everyone. I try to treat everyone equally no matter who they are. I messed up plain and simple.”
