Content Wiped from Fan Favorite NASCAR YouTube Channel

What’s Happening?

NASCAR fans are noticing that one long-time member of the NASCAR online community, YouTuber friskynixon, has seemingly wiped their uploads from their YouTube channel.

• Last evening, NASCAR fans on X noticed that the channel, a long-time staple of NASCAR YouTube with over 30.6K subscribers, had removed its profile photo, header, and hours of content. This sparked many NASCAR fans to come out of the woodwork, upset and concerned about why this happened.
• It is unclear why this happened. Options could include takedowns, something NASCAR typically does not do, or the poster just calling it quits on the channel.
• Input on this loss ranged from NASCAR fans, both new and old, including some who have YouTube followers. For example, S1apSh0es, who has 193K subscribers of his own on YouTube, in response to this news posted on X, “We lost a real one today.”
• friskynixon, formerly known under the screen name “NASCAR Nixon, launched their channel in May 2011. The poster made a name in the community by uploading several different video series and compilations consisting of NASCAR oddities, like lapped cars messing up a leader’s day or NASCAR underdogs having a career-best finish.
• However, the channel’s most iconic and nostalgic series is, hands down, the NASCAR Nonsense series of videos uploaded throughout the years. This video series consisted of odd clips of some of NASCAR’s least and most interesting moments. YouTube account DriveDaily has a supercut of the series that still remains on YouTube.
