“Desperate times call for desperate measures.” But no matter the desperation of the times, one shouldn’t compromise their morality and values for ‘a measure’. That’s what NASCAR Driver Keith McGee recently proved and set an example of.

The Camping World Truck Series driver posted a tweet in which he “sadly” expressed him no longer being able to race because of insufficient funding. What’s more heartbreaking is that the 40-year-old driver expressed that the race he’ll miss out on, is the one he was “looking forward to the most all season.”

But when McGee woke up the next morning, he couldn’t believe his own eyes. He found he had an ‘extra’ $181 million worth of SHIBA Inu Coins in his wallet.

This is enough money to fund not just several Truck Series Campaigns but take it all the way to stock car Cup Series. It was as if McGee’s tweet reached out to the sky and a miracle (or a mistake) landed in his wallet.

So, what did the driver who served in United States Air Force do?

Keith McGee, the person

As reported by Toby Christie, McGee reached out to Coinbase about the incident.

Though Coinbase is yet to return to his report, the 40-year-old driver says he is ready to “exhaust all options” and would wait for the money to return to its rightful owner “as long as it takes”.

The Alaska native driver finished 29th or lower in his first four starts. But in Talladega, his most recent race, he finished in 10th place.

Although McGee had only made five starts in his first year in the competition, he chose to curb the urge to race over his honesty and moral values.

In doing so, he not only has set an example for professionals but also for all kinds of people. Because it’s not just the sports that are being corroded with greed, it’s the society in general.

Now, it’d be interesting to see if Keith McGee is rewarded in some way or the other for his honesty. But what’s certain is that all those who read about him would want him back in the truck, racing on the track.
