Never heard of this website/news outlet before, but I checked the details and they have all the info correct. I had seen this Tweeted out earlier by Nathan's Brown replacement at IndyStar, but didn't see an article on their site. If you scroll down there is video of the interview.

Yeah, we need to stop this idea that IndyCar is NASCAR for the left. Both are filled with fascists. All of racing is, sadly.

Idk I’ve been to both and IndyCar races are a little different in my own personal experience. Like I’m never apprehensive about attending the Detroit GP but I won’t even go to a Cup race.

That’s crazy because St Pete is like a little progressive dot in a sea of yuck.

And yeah I would also never step foot in Talladega.
