The Xfinity NASCAR Race this past Sunday, November 1, 2020, was extremely disappointing to many viewers during the post-race celebration. After Chase Elliott won the Xfinity 500 Martinsville 2020 Playoff Cut Race, he celebrated with his race team at 4:58 p.m. CT on NBC.

Unfortunately, while they were celebrating, one of his crewmen was clearly heard uttering a four-letter expletive, all while families were likely watching. The announcer apologized for the language, but it was too late since the damage has already been done. It was very clear which four-letter word was used, and NBC needs to be more responsible. They should always have a five-second delay on all live coverage to protect families. Everyone knows children repeat what they hear. Shame on NBC!

Broadcasting indecency on the public airwaves is against the law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) needs to hold NBC accountable and fine the network for not safeguarding viewers. Broadcast network television is subject to FCC indecency fines. We need your help sending a complaint to the FCC.

File an indecency complaint with the FCC against NBC network concerning its coverage of a Sunday NASCAR race, the Xfinity 500, in which a member of Chase Elliott's race team used a profane word during the post-race celebration.
