The 35-year-old currently drives the Nos. 2\/22 Ford in the Craftsman Truck Series while also racing part-time in the ARCA Menards Series.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days, Dennison has publicly commented on a myriad of hot topics, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/news\/us-news\/184284\/charlie-kirk-memorial-service-streaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assasination<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/entertainment\/tv\/184201\/jimmy-kimmel-reaction-abc-show-charlie-kirk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cancellation of &#8216;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8217;<\/a> Taking to X on Thursday, he claimed that his opinions caused Reaume Brothers Racing to fire him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Got a video coming soon about being canceled behind the scenes from a race team for being a conservative,&#8221; Dennison wrote. &#8220;Recorded calls and messages. Going to be a wild ride. Keep your ears peeled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While addressing the axing of the show &#8211; which came after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/entertainment\/tv\/184245\/jimmy-kimmel-show-audience-hollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jimmy Kimmel made several comments about the public reaction to Kirk&#8217;s killing<\/a> &#8211; Dennison said during a YouTube livestream on Wednesday: &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air, which I&#8217;m pretty happy about. One, because Jimmy Kimmel sucks and he&#8217;s always sucked and tired of it. When [Donald] Trump was elected &#8230; dude went on air and was sobbing in his open monologue. Dude, they should have been fired that day for being a b&#8212;-. But it&#8217;s fine. Times have changed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758294613_459_image\" alt=\"https:\/\/img.particlenews.com\/image.php?url=17WeNx_14tKW4xP00\" width=\"590\" height=\"393\"\/>Cody Dennison drove the Nos. 2\/22 Ford in the Craftsman Truck Series<\/p>\n<p>In Dennison&#8217;s eyes, Kimmel&#8217;s punishment stemmed from an &#8220;overcorrection&#8221; in cancel culture. &#8220;Times are way different now, okay? Just the fact that you were perceived as a conservative could lead you to losing everything in the last couple years,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, guess what? It flipped, and your boy&#8217;s kind of happy about it, I&#8217;m gonna be honest. It kind of feels good not to worry about getting fired every two damn seconds or canceled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My sponsors call me all the time. They&#8217;re like, &#8216;Bro, what&#8217;s up? Hey, dude, we love you.&#8217; It&#8217;s a great time to be alive, okay? Because they&#8217;re also based. Because we&#8217;ve all survived in this world together and been struggling. And now that shoe was on the other foot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And you know what? I turned the cheek, I turned the other cheek for years. For 10, 15 years, I&#8217;ve been turning the other cheek. And I&#8217;m gonna be honest. I&#8217;m fresh out of cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>DON&#8217;T MISS:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What you&#8217;re seeing right now &#8211; even if you may not agree with it &#8211; is an overcorrection,&#8221; Dennison continued. &#8220;If I was racing five years ago in NASCAR &#8211; and an interviewer knew I had a podcast, and they knew I had certain views &#8211; and they&#8217;re like, &#8216;Well, how many genders are there?&#8217; And I was like, &#8216;Oh, there&#8217;s two.&#8217; I would likely get banned from NASCAR five years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, is it because NASCAR feels that way, or is it because the people working there feel that way? No, none of that. They&#8217;re terrified of losing sponsors. That&#8217;s all it is. They&#8217;re f&#8212;&#8212; terrified of getting crushed under the heel of &#8230; the media being completely liberal. So you kind of have to adhere to it, especially as a giant company like that. And I think that&#8217;s an overcorrection now, because those things are kind of going out the window, which is good.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Cody Dennison announced that he&#8217;s been let go by Reaume Brothers Racing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":239187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[104,94302,728,1406,128055,10814,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-239186","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-express-u-s","10":"tag-local-news","11":"tag-nascar","12":"tag-nascar-driver-claims-hes-been-fired-and-canceled-for-political-beliefs","13":"tag-newsbreak","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115231603337832855","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
