Daniel Dye indefinitely suspended by NASCAR Daniel Dye, driver of the No. 10 Kaulig Racing Ram in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, has been indefinitely suspended by NASCAR following a violation of the organization’s rules. The penalty was imposed under Section 4.3.C of the NASCAR Rule Book, which prohibits members from making public statements or communications that criticize, ridicule, or disparage another person based on race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, or handicapping condition. The suspension followed an incident during a recent livestream where Dye discussed his experiences with NTT IndyCar Series driver David Malukas. During the event, the 22-year-old driver used language that NASCAR officials deemed unacceptable, leading to the decision to suspend him. Dye must complete sensitivity training before he can return to competition. In a statement posted to his social media account on Tuesday evening, Dye expressed regret for his actions. He acknowledged that he did not consider the impact of his words and emphasized that his intent was not to cause harm. He added, “I know that intention does not erase impact and I need to do better.” Dye has competed in 49 races in the Craftsman Truck Series since 2023, earning two top-five finishes, 10 top-10 results, and one pole position. The Florida native ran full-time in the series in 2023 and 2024 before transitioning to the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series with Kaulig for a full season in 2025. Currently, Dye ranks 13th in the Craftsman Truck Series standings, 88 points behind the series leader, Chandler Smith. Additionally, he has made three starts in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series this season for AM Racing, bringing his total career starts in that series to 48 with 10 top-10 finishes.#david_malukas #daniel_dye #nascar #kaulig_racing #nascar_rule_book
