NASCAR driver Natalie Decker is making headlines for what fans are calling an “embarrassing” meltdown.
Decker, a female driver in the NASCAR Truck Series, competed in NASCAR’s ECOSAVE 200 in the Craftsman Truck Series on Friday. She made it through 81 laps before bowing out of the race in an expletive-filled rant. After committing a pass-through penalty on pit road, Decker made it clear that she didn’t “want to keep doing this.”

She then went on an expletive-filled rant.
“You guys, I’m trying my best to hold my (expletive) together, but I don’t want to keep doing this,” said Decker, who had already been hit with multiple penalties.
“There’s just so many (expletive) things that I could say right now,” Decker said, “and I’m just trying to keep it together, about the (expletive) director of the series.”

NASCAR fans, meanwhile, are pretty fed up.
“Natalie Decker has no business on a race track and she embarrasses everyone every time she speaks. Beyond over her existence in NASCAR,” Ryan Larkin shared.

Decker ripped for ’embarrassing’ meltdown
The NASCAR Truck Series driver is getting ripped.
“Spoiled brat throwing a fit. Unfortunately she’s putting other drivers in danger due to her lack of concentration. She needs a different career,” one fan wrote.
“She screws up and then plays the emotional card to deflect taking responsibility. This is beyond pathetic. She absolutely does not deserve a seat going forward,” one fan added.

“Not ready for the hate she will get online yet proceeds to do something that will get her hate online? Make it make sense,” one fan added.
Others, meanwhile, are defending her.
“I’m not a fan of Decker but obviously she has a lot of people who look down on her and criticize her. And I can only imagine how tough that must be. Hope she’s able to pull it together and race, there’s a team of hard workers and sponsors all counting on her,” one fan added.
