Kyle Larson loses his fresh spotter over social media posts
Monez announced in a post on his Twitter feed on Jan. 1 he will most definitely be recognizing for Larson and the No. 5 NASCAR Cup Assortment crew in 2021.
Following an apparent uproar over just a few of Monez’s social media posts, a spokesman for Hendrick Motorsports on Tuesday night confirmed to Motorsport.com that Monez is now not any longer with the crew.
A brand fresh spotter for Larson will be announced at a later date.
Larson used to be fired from Chip Ganassi Racing and suspended from NASCAR early within the 2020 season after using a racial slur at some stage in a stay stream broadcast of a web racing match.
He used to be later reinstated after polishing off diversified form-linked actions and used to be finally hired by HMS to force the crew’s No. 5 Chevrolet origin this season.
Within days of his hiring as spotter, some journalists were highlighting just a few of Monez’s tweets, alongside side one promoting the hashtag of the QAnon conspiracy belief.
Monez has now not been penalized by NASCAR.
