"After the clip circulated, Dye posted an apology on X, stating, 'I want to first apologise to David Malukas. I recently went on a live stream with some friends and made some careless comments.'"
"NASCAR suspended Dye and required him to undergo sensitivity training, as their code of conduct forbids criticism of 'sexual orientation' or 'gender.'"
"Kaulig Racing confirmed it accepted Dye's resignation, stating he will not return to the team, with Corey LaJoie taking over the No10 truck."
