Fans were quick to express their disappointment and some even threatened to boycott the organization. This move comes as NASCAR plans to introduce electric car racing, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/602013\/nascar-electric-racing-series-leaked-document\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inside EVs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTurn off the lights, I\u2019m out. #boycottNASCAR,\u201d one Twitter user wrote in response to the tweet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While NASCAR&#8217;s decision to support Pride Month may be seen as a reflection of poor judgment, it is not the same as rebelling against moral standards that have been in place for thousands of years.
