Richard Childress releases a statement after a NASCAR executive called him a redneck
23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are currently suing NASCAR. The trial in the antitrust lawsuit is set to begin on December 1st.
But, like Judge Bell said, these two parties are willing to crash the ship. And, many others are being taken down with them.
Back in 2023, Steve Phelps who was President of NASCAR at the time, called Richard Childress a redneck. The messages surfaced in court documents last week.

The following statement was released on Monday:
“RCR and Richard Childress are deeply disappointed by the insensitive and defamatory statements made about Mr. Childress in recently surfaced text messages between NASCAR executives Steve Phelps and Brian Herbst,” the team statement opened.
“These comments reflect the way certain NASCAR executives have historically viewed and treated many team owners like Mr. Childress, who have devoted their lives to strengthening the sport for its fans, its sponsors, and all who compete in it.”
“RCR and Richard Childress are equally disappointed for the NASCAR fans, with whom Mr. Childress closely identifies given his humble and hard-working background.”
“Mr. Childress and the organization will issue no further statements regarding these or other defamatory text messages that have recently surfaced, as legal action is being contemplated and discussed with legal counsel.”
