(Reuters) – NASCAR will continue to encourage its drivers to get COVID-19 vaccinations through those who have already had their shots but making it mandatory would be a “slippery slope”, its president Steve Phelps said.
Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR, recently addressed the hesitancy of some of his fellow drivers to get vaccinated after receiving his doses and Phelps said it was important for the company, the sport and the country.
“As relates to the driver corps, you’ll probably see more. We’ll ask the drivers to try to help promote the vaccination process. They have a voice,” Phelps told reporters ahead of Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie received their first doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine on Friday at an Ottawa pharmacy. Trudeau said he was “very excited” and offered an enthusiastic “yay” with two thumbs up once he was jabbed.
At a briefing Friday, Trudeau urged people to do the same. “If you’re eligible for your vaccine like we are, make sure you get your dose as soon as possible,” he said.
