There was a massive response, with multiple people speaking of her performance on the race track. Decker later deleted the post.
NASCAR journalist Matthew Burroughs was among the few who backed Natalie Decker on the post.
“It’s tempting to criticize a racer for saying the game is unfair when they don’t win, but Natalie Decker’s point has validity. A major corporation can spilt (sic) 20 bucks across 20 female drivers and the NASCAR public will trip over themselves to gleefully call it progress. – Matthew Burroughs tweeted.
