Controversy still looms fresh on Josh Williams’ head. It was just a little while ago that the Xfinity Series driver decided it would be a statement to park his car on the start-finish line in the middle of a race and walk off into the pits. However, his actions soon drew criticism. And later he was handed out a one-race suspension for his actions at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Even former NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr was not pleased about what had transpired. He even went on to justify that the penalty was correctly implemented to punish Williams. Meanwhile, despite still remaining under the heat, Williams decided it would be the perfect time to ask for a ride in a separate series co-owned by Earnhardt Jr.

Witnessing Junior’s message, the Xfinity driver also tried his luck and asked if Junior had a spare ride for him.
Junior did not reply to him yet. But the fans rallied behind the driver and urged the $400 Million worth of NASCAR legend to oblige.

Some of the fans even brought up the controversial move made by the Xfinity driver. They backed up his actions and labeled it as a “badass move.”
The most awesome of badass moves in the world was parking that car and walking in I don’t care what NASCAR says it’s that type of moxie that reaches viewers not these entitled babies!!!! HOW ABOUT THAT SAGE KARAM GUY!!!

Another fan suggested how Junior’s media company, Dirty Mo Media, could even go on to sponsor him for this specific race.
That would be awesome!! Maybe a sponsorship from @DirtyMoMedia for the day.

Meanwhile, as we wait on Junior’s decision, the general public sentiment seems to draw appreciation towards the lad. Moreover, bringing him in for the race may make the general fan base excited as well. However, that decision is up to Junior. We look forward to seeing Williams get back out on track, although it is for a different series because of his one-race suspension.
