Driver Noah Gragson has been suspended endlessly and will avoid NASCAR's Cup Series race on Sunday because of his “activities” via web-based entertainment, as per NASCAR and his group, Heritage Engine Club.

Neither NASCAR nor Inheritance Engine Club determined the justification for the suspension and CNN has not autonomously confirmed the post.
Gragson apologized in a post on Twitter on Saturday.
“I'm frustrated in myself for my absence of consideration and activities via online entertainment,” Gragson said. “I grasp the seriousness of this present circumstance. I love and value everybody. I attempt to treat everybody similarly regardless of what their identity is. I screwed up straightforward.”
