Report Copyright Violation | Conor Daly's Lilly sponsorship decals removed because of father's use of racial slur in 1980s On Friday, Lilly Diabetes pulled its sponsorship decals from Conor Daly’s No. 6 NASCAR ride, saying that it didn’t want the distraction from their cause. Lilly's full statement, via NASCAR reporter Chris Knight: “Our sponsorship in Saturday’s race is intended to raise awareness of treatment options and resources for people living with diabetes. Unfortunately, the comments that surfaced this week by Derek Daly distract from this focus, so we have made the decision that Lilly Diabetes will no longer run the No. 6 at Road America this weekend. "We remain committed to our mission of supporting people with diabetes.” Around 8 p.m. Friday, Conor Daly tweeted: "The last 24hrs have been quite an unnecessarily difficult ride for my family. There is A LOT I want to say... but I’m still here and still racing. I appreciate the support from @roushfenway and ALL of you. @LillyDiabetes has been a big part of my career and Im very thankful. #6" [ link to amp.indystar.com (secure)] LoneStarRising |

Quoting: SamReed They did pay ... no way the race team is giving the money back ... They are just virtue signaling bullshit that will fall on deaf ears of nascar fans Fighting and triggering liberals and SJW's in the trenches of their safe spaces since 2014

Over 30 years ago the dad was telling a story on air to a radio announcer and used a word that is racially offensive . The father apoligized an said he had just came to the united states and the word is used differently where he came from . He apologized and said he stopped using the word . The "N " word . |
