The driver Carson Hoswar has been fined $ 50,000 by his race team, Spire Motisports, and will undergo sensitivity training after making derogatory remarks about Mexico City.
Since 1958, NASCAR’s first cup series were not clearly sitting well with the Hosavor in the race for the race outside the United States, who raised the issue with the city of Mexico during a livestream on Friday night.
The 22-year-old Hoswar called it “S — Hole”, while also raises concerns about security in the city.
He released an apology on social media after his 34th place (out of 37 drivers) in his 34th place in Sunday night race.
Referring to his hometown, the Hosver said, “Perhaps a child who was never out of the country till Thursday, should ever oppose what is any place other than Portage, Michigan.”
“When I answered that question on a stream, I had doubt about the journey so far and I read or heard about Mexico City from those people, more and more of them, which were never more than likely. Now I have really left my hotel for some time and I have ever raced to the most emotional fans, I have changed my opinion. I am ashamed of my comments.”
“… Count it as another lesson for me in a season that I have learned a lot. Do not assume that you listen to everything without seeing it yourself. If anyone should give the benefit of doubt to anyone or any place. I am sorry that I am sorry that I should consider a collaborator and have an example to see things with my own two eyes.”
Spire motorsports were sharp with their response, which issued compulsory cultural sensitivity and prejudice awareness training for Hosavar. Spire also stated that a fine of $ 50,000 will be distributed between Mexican Red Cross, United Way Mexico and UN Kg Auda, a non -profit organization that helps in childhood nutrition and development in rural communities across the country.
The team’s statement said, “These actions are in line with the basic value of honor of Spire Motisports, which we proudly showcase proudly on every race car, team uniform, trackside holer and digital channels.” “Respect is not a slogan. It is a daily expectation that we ‘walk the walk’ how we speak, compete and serve communities that welcome our game.
“Carson was reduced to that standard during the recent comments by Hoswar. He did not represent the ideas of Spire Motorsports, our partners, or NASCAR. He has publicly accepted his mistake, and his signs, honest waiver demonstrated personal accountability. Now we should increase this extra step, and honor.”
