NASCAR driver Natalie Decker has confirmed she will compete in the Great American Gateway 400 race at the Pocono Raceway on June 15, following her meltdown at the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Dover International Speedway on May 15.
Decker received three flags at the Dover race, including one that angered her so much she decided to leave the race midway. Audio of her meltdown was aired during the broadcast and subsequently went viral.
She received criticism for her actions, with many analysts calling it 'unprofessional' and potentially jeopardizing her NASCAR career. However, Decker has put those speculations to rest, confirming her return to the track.
In a post on Instagram, Decker revealed she will be back for Pocono, captioning the post with a quote from Proverbs 15:1: 'Keep your softness, stay gentle, and remain kind. Don't let the negativity around you make you bitter.'
