- you are of course guilty and must be punished for his actions 30 YEARS ago.
Lilly Diabetes has pulled its sponsorship of Conor Daly's No. 6 car in the NASCAR Xfinity race at Road America, citing a racially insensitive remark made by the driver's father in the 1980s that surfaced this week.
Lilly said in a statement Friday that its sponsorship was intended to raise awareness for treatment options and resources for people living with diabetes.
"Unfortunately, the comments that surfaced this week by Derek Daly distract from this focus, so we have made the decision that Lilly Diabetes will no longer run the No. 6 at Road America this weekend," Lilly said.

“I’m Wilfred Brimley for Lilly Dia-beet-us. I want you to know that everyone from toofless NASCAR fans to them coloreds trying to score football touchdowns for fat American families who start drinking at 7am on a Sunday because they are “tailgating” can have issues with their blood/sugar levels. Dia-beet-us can affect the lives of queers, Japs, wetbacks, and real people too. So be sure to have your blood work done the next time you see your family physician, even if he is a curry eatin’ Dot head.”

That’s easily one of my favorite internet posts I’ve ever made. I was thinking of incorporating it to some of my original “rock music” you like so much neo. I fit in rickrolls and dia-beetus; I just couldn’t figure outta way to get chuck Norris in there for the dated internet cliche trifecta.
It’s hilarious that the sponsor was worried about the sensitivities of NASCAR fans. Lol. They ain’t got time to be racists they too busy killin ole yeller back by the tool shed where theys impregnated theys mommas niece. “She fill out reawl perty since I saws her last.”
