The Paris Olympics have provided NASCAR with a two-week hiatus, allowing drivers a much-needed break from the intense demands of motorsports.
NASCAR will return on August 11 for its four remaining regular-season races, beginning with the Cook Out 400 in Richmond, Virginia. As the playoffs approach, drivers without a playoff seat will be eager to make a strong comeback and secure their spot in the postseason
"They deserve to be seen" - NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace shares his views on the Olympics boycott
NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace has stood firm on boycotting the Olympics, after a controversial opening ceremony for the event. Wallace shared his views in a recent episode of the YouTube show Coffee with Kenny.
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics was scheduled for July 26. The ceremony had a performance inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper and has seemingly left several notable personalities agitated with how things panned out.
Wallace, among many, has considered the performance a parody and has tagged the performance as an insult to the Christian community. He said (via Coffee with Kenny):
"Many people are boycotting the Olympics but that's the price they pay over there when they, uh, when they insult 1.6 billion people[...]I'm not watching the Olympics and I feel bad for those great athletes because, you know, those athletes have worked their whole life. They deserve to be seen."
The performance's director, Thomas Jolly, claims his vision was to promote inclusivity and diversity, and he stands by it.
