In the world of NASCAR, rumors can spread like wildfire, and it’s up to fans to stay vigilant and separate fact from fiction. Unfortunately, false rumors circulated on Twitter recently, causing chaos and confusion among fans of the sport. The rumors involved two prominent figures in the sport, Denny Hamlin and Jeff Gordon.

The rumors were eventually debunked. But in the aftermath, fans have taken to social media to express their frustration with the spread of false information and their disappointment with Twitter’s actions.

Recent Alleged News Regarding Denny Hamlin and Jeff Gordon Causes Bewilderment

The first false rumor involved Denny Hamlin, who was falsely reported to be leaving Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024. The rumor spread like wildfire on Twitter, causing panic among fans who were worried about the future of their favorite driver. However, it was quickly debunked by multiple sources, including fans who identified the account as a faux.

The second instance occurred when Bob Pockrass, who is a respected NASCAR journalist with over 250k followers on Twitter, tweeted the news about Jeff Gordon‘s appearance at the All-Star Race. He also announced that Ray Evernham would be waving the green flag at the race start and while many fans were excited about the announcement, they quickly turned their attention to the fact that Pockrass’s verification badge had been removed from his Twitter account.

While false rumors are not uncommon on social media, the reaction from NASCAR fans has been particularly strong in this case. Many fans have taken to Twitter to express their frustration with Elon Musk, who recently removed the verification badges from many high-profile accounts on the platform. Fans have argued that the removal of these badges has made it easier for false rumors to spread, as it is now harder to differentiate between legitimate accounts and fake ones.

One fan tweeted, “Removing verification was a horrific mistake.”

Another fan added, “HOW DO WE KNOW IT’S YOU BOB,” referencing the fact that Pockrass’ verification badge had been removed. Many fans also expressed their frustration with the false rumors themselves, with one fan writing, “F*cking hell this gave me a heart attack.”

Despite the frustration and confusion caused by the false rumors, some fans were able to see the humor in the situation. One fan tweeted, “Haha. Had me for a second there,” while another added, “When you have to double check that sender name closely.”

Overall, the reaction from NASCAR fans to the false rumors and their spread on Twitter has been a mixed bag of frustration, confusion, and humor. While false rumors are nothing new, the recent removal of verification badges from high-profile accounts has made it easier for these rumors to spread and has added an extra layer of confusion for fans. In the future, it will be important for fans to be cautious about believing rumors they see on social media and to seek out reliable sources before jumping to conclusions.
