“We Don’t Need That Kind of Disrespect” – NASCAR Draws the Line After Musk’s Viral Statement
In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the world of motorsports and tech alike, NASCAR has officially banned billionaire Elon Musk from attending any future races — effective immediately.
This unprecedented action comes just hours after Musk made a controversial remark, stating:
“Cars are an outdated hobby. The future is automation, not burning rubber.”
The comment, made during a tech summit in San Francisco, has been met with outrage from NASCAR officials, drivers, and millions of passionate fans.
🧨 NASCAR Responds Swiftly
NASCAR President Steve Phelps issued a blunt response:
“We welcome innovation. We do not welcome insults. Elon Musk is no longer welcome at our events.”
The statement has ignited a fierce online debate, with some defending Musk’s vision for a tech-driven future, while others accuse him of completely disrespecting a deeply rooted American tradition.

NASCAR legends and fans didn’t hold back:
-
Dale Earnhardt Jr.: “If cars are outdated, why does everyone still line up to watch them race?”
-
One fan on X: “Musk just insulted generations of NASCAR history in one sentence.”
-
Another: “Banning him was the right call. He made it personal.”
Meanwhile, Tesla enthusiasts argue that Musk was only stating a hard truth about where technology is headed, and that NASCAR is “clinging to a dying past.”
