Ray Ciccarelli, the NASCAR driver who threatened to quit after the sport banned the Confederate flag, tried to set the record straight about his controversial post on Facebook, saying he believes his thoughts were misconstrued but doesn’t regret what he said.
Ciccarelli took part in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series this weekend, finishing 29th, and isn’t sure if he will follow through on his threat about selling off his CMI Motorsports team following the 2020 season.
“I wasn’t raised the way people are portraying me to be. That’s just not me,” Ciccarelli told TobyChristie.com. “I am not that type of person. Just the attack — my wife, my family have been attacked and abused on social media. It’s just heartbreaking.” (NYPost)
