NASCAR champion and fan favorite Chase Elliott has reportedly hit the brakes on celebrating Pride Month, stating that the growing influence of “woke culture” on sports has gone “off track.”
“This ain’t about hate,” Elliott allegedly told a group of close friends at a private racing event. “It’s about honesty. WOKE doesn’t deserve a trophy just for showing up. If you’re going to race for equality, don’t make it mandatory to drive the same car.”
And with that, the cultural engine roared to life.
Social Media Explodes: #ChaseGoesStraight Trends
Within minutes, the internet did what it does best: overreact. Hashtags like #ChaseGoesStraight, #PridePitStop, and #LeftTurnOnWoke started trending across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and the comments section of every NASCAR subreddit.
Supporters called him a patriot.
Critics called him a bigot.
Some just asked: “Who is Chase Elliott and why is he trending during Pride Month?”
TikTokers immediately started parodying the moment, with one viral clip showing a rainbow-colored race car spinning out while a voiceover says: “This car refuses to turn left — just like Chase.”
NASCAR Responds: Slow and Strategic
The official NASCAR X account posted a rainbow-themed logo earlier that morning, but when asked about Elliott’s alleged statement, a league spokesperson said:
“We continue to celebrate inclusion, community, and the unique voices of all our drivers. NASCAR has room for everyone — even if they’re driving in different ideological lanes.”
Translation: Please don’t cancel us. Or him. Or our sponsors. Please
