These leaked messages between Phelps and Herbst calling Richard Childress a 'stupid redneck' who needs to be 'flogged' are absolutely disgusting. When NASCAR brass talks about a legend like RCR's owner this way behind closed doors, what does that say about how they really view our sport's icons? Mark Martin's questioning whether he was just a 'show horse' hits different - these texts prove NASCAR's corporate suits have zero respect for the drivers and owners who built this sport. The fact this dropped during the antitrust lawsuit makes it even more damning. How can we trust NASCAR leadership after this backstabbing behavior? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR
