It’s no news that Brett Griffin, the spotter for the Kaulig Racing Team, has recently been the center of negative attention. He has received a ton of backlash from fans for his questionable tweets and disrespectful comments about the city of Chicago. Although he tried to explain himself for making such comments, NASCAR fans just won’t let him off the hook.

During a recent episode of the Door Bumper Clear (DBC) podcast, the controversy surrounding Brett Griffin reached new heights. The show suddenly took an unexpected turn in the latter half when the hosts started taking calls from the fans.

Fan’s Mockery Forces Brett Griffin to Walk Out Mid-Show

During one of the calls, Brett Griffin found himself at the receiving end of a sarcastic taunt. The caller started by praising Shane Van Gisbergen for his performance in Chicago. They ended up making a snide comment about the gap between Griffin’s teeth.

Here’s how the call went down.

The caller said, “Wow, What a race here at Chicago, I cannot believe that SVG pulled that one out like that. He won by a smaller gap than what’s in Brett’s teeth.”

Hearing the comment, the spotter walked out abruptly, but apparently, he went to grab a drink for himself. This is what he said in reply to the comment on his teeth.

“Hey, I figured somebody was going to bash me in this reaction theater call. I didn’t know they were going to make fun of the gap between my teeth.”

It went all downhill from there on as the next caller started to abuse him. We couldn’t make out what they said exactly as a lot of words got censored.

All this criticism and backlash is a result of the careless tweets and comments he has made in the recent past.

What Led to Brett Becoming a Target for the NASCAR Fans

To be honest, there’s more than one reason for all the backlash and hate Brett Griffin has been getting. Whether it’s his comments about the city of Chicago, or his disrespectful tweets surrounding the sport and for Shane Van Gisbergen’s win, all of it has contributed to this backlash from NASCAR fans.

I’m team Justin. If the 91 passes him I hope he dumps his ass.

This tweet, in particular, didn’t sit well with the fans, and it got a ton of negative responses from the fans.

“You’re losing me my guy,“ one fan replied.

While someone else commented, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you attended clown school.”

When one of the insiders, Bozi Tatarevic, indirectly gave a response to this tweet, fans quickly flocked in and thrashed Brett for his lack of respect for the sport.

I’m glad that there were some driving standards on that last restart and that Justin didn’t dump SVG because NASCAR deserves to be on an international stage even though some around the industry want it to go back to the 1950s. https://t.co/Mo9Bd1H7jX
