The world of NASCAR has always been known for its passionate fans and intense rivalries on the track. However, recently, the sport faced a different kind of conflict—one that originated not from the drivers but from an unexpected source. Brett Griffin, a prominent NASCAR insider and spotter, found himself at the center of a storm after a controversial tweet that sent shockwaves throughout the racing community.

This comes after Griffin was previously caught up in another controversy surrounding the horrifying Chicago shooting ahead of the highly anticipated NASCAR race at the Windy City. This ultimately led to a feud between him and fellow teammate, JR Houston.

Brett Griffin controversially tweets following Chicago Race

On race day in Chicago, as emotions reached their peak, Brett Griffin took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the events unfolding on the track. His first tweet read, “I’m team Justin. If the 91 passes him I hope he dumps his a*s.” This controversial comment suggested that Griffin wanted to see Justin Haley’s car deliberately crash into another driver which did not sit well with fans.

To make matters worse, Griffin’s second tweet targeted another driver, Shane van Gisbergen, after he won a race. He wrote, “Congrats to this Shane guy. I’m speechless.” This tweet, while seemingly innocent, lacked the respect and recognition that a winning driver rightfully deserves. It further left fans questioning Griffin’s professionalism and his ability to provide unbiased insights into the sport.

Brett Griffin’s tweets quickly spread through the NASCAR community, drawing backlash from fans and even prompting responses from other insiders, including Bozi Tatarevic. In his tweet, Tatarevic subtly criticized Griffin’s stance, stating, “I’m glad that there were some driving standards on that last restart and that Justin didn’t dump SVG because NASCAR deserves to be on an international stage even though some around the industry want it to go back to the 1950s.”

The fans’ reactions were just as intense. One Twitter user wrote, “You are 100% correct and he has a platform; people just bow down and believe in his nonsense.” Another fan tweeted, “Brett is terrible for the sport; all they do is talk bad about NASCAR.”

“He’s even disrespectful in his compliments, embarrassing,” remarked a fan, expressing disappointment in Griffin’s unprofessional conduct even when attempting to praise a driver.

The controversy surrounding Brett Griffin’s tweet and subsequent fan backlash serves as a reminder of the importance of professionalism and respect within the world of NASCAR.
