“People Like This Ruin Everything”: Fans Furious as “Karen” Sues Legendary NASCAR Team for Absurd Reason

For fans, every bit of sporting action is precious. People pay insane amounts of money for the courtside seats at an NBA game. They would prefer getting barged into by a 6-foot, 200-pound man running at full speed than sitting a few rows behind. The same goes for NASCAR. But sometimes, things can go awry too.

Something similar to courtside seats isn’t a possibility in motorsport racing sports like NASCAR and Formula 1. There’s possibly just one reason for that – the safety of fans. Given how fast cars go when racing, and how violent accidents are, those risks can’t be taken.

Hot passes give the fans more accessibility

But these sports have devised new ways to get fans closer to action. The hot and cold garage passes are special entry passes that are available for purchase at premium prices. These VIP packages offer fans access to garages, haulers, and the pit road. Such access is priceless for fans who are willing to pay higher prices in exchange for meeting their favorite drivers.

The Race Day Sponsor website pointed out, “With hot passes, you are going to have more access to the drivers for pictures and autographs while seeing how fast the cars are up close. Also, with hot passes, you can watch the race from ground level on pit road and celebrate in Victory lane if your team wins.”

However, recent litigation in California has shown what troubles might come up for the organizers in such cases. According to publicly available records, the plaintiff had a hot pass for LVMS and was standing on the pit road. A crew member of Woods Brothers Racing was pushing a generator cart that touched the plaintiff and caused them to fall down.

Despite signing a waiver, the plaintiff decided to pursue litigation against the team.

The absurdity shocked NASCAR fans

Only a select few – those who can afford to pay for these premium packages – get to go on the pit road. And they go after signing a waiver of liability. But to still go and sue a team didn’t go down well with fans.
