Josh Reaume, an owner-driver in the NASCAR Xfinity and Gander RV & Outdoors Truck series, has been indefinitely suspended by NASCAR, it announced Nov. 10.
The announcement came days after the series completed its season. As a driver, Reaume competed in 12 races with a best finish of 17th, also making a pair of Xfinity appearances.
Reaume was flagged for a violation of Sections 12.1 and 12.8.1.e in the sport’s rulebook, specifically for behavioral reasons. The suspension was for something Reaume posted on social media, but the post in question was not specified.
The latter section provides guidelines for personnel conduct. Per the announcement, the section details punishment for a “public statement and/or communication that criticizes, ridicules, or otherwise disparages another person based upon that person’s race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, or handicapping condition.”
No other details were available on the suspension. Reaume has not yet addressed the suspension publicly.
