Druski’s NASCAR Whiteface Skit Sparks Laughter and Backlash
Comedian Druski, whose real name is Andrew Desbordes, has once again stirred the internet with one of his over-the-top skits, this time involving a NASCAR race. Known for his outrageous characters and viral comedy sketches, Druski went undercover by dressing up in full whiteface makeup, adopting the persona of a stereotypical Southern “redneck.” The disguise was so detailed that most people at the event did not recognize him at all.
The setting for his latest act was the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Dressed in denim overalls, rocking a mullet wig, covered in tattoos, and even sporting a cowboy hat, Druski blended right in with the crowd. He leaned into the role with gusto—smoking cigarettes, raising a beer toast alongside other race fans, and even inviting a woman to sit on his lap. One of the more shocking moments caught on camera showed him spitting at the feet of Black fans, an act that immediately added fuel to the ongoing online debate.

What made the performance even more surreal was the fact that Druski stood alongside NASCAR driver Ty Gibbs during the national anthem, hand over his heart, while Gibbs could barely keep a straight face. After the anthem, Druski reportedly joined the stands, still fully in character, watching the race and interacting with fans as though he truly belonged there.
This isn’t the first time Druski has played a white character. Earlier this year, he introduced “Preston,” a made-up white boy who, in his words, was “accepted by the hood.” That skit divided audiences, and now this NASCAR appearance has reignited conversations around comedy, race, and stereotypes.
The internet’s reaction has been immediate and split right down the middle. Some fans are applauding his boldness, calling the makeup job flawless and the skit hilarious. Comments like “Your makeup artist deserves an award” flooded social platforms. Others, however, see it as hypocritical, pointing out that if a white comedian put on blackface, the backlash would be unforgiving. Some users accused Druski of reinforcing harmful stereotypes about Southern white culture and NASCAR fans, while others argued that the spitting scene crossed the line entirely.
One commenter described it as “jester privilege,” suggesting Druski gets away with mocking racial groups because of his comedic status. Another wrote, “Notice how no white folks acted like that—but you made it seem worse. That wasn’t comedy; that was inventing racism.”
Regardless of where people stand, the video has undeniably gone viral. It’s clear that Druski knew exactly what he was doing—pushing boundaries, sparking uncomfortable conversations, and keeping his brand of humor loud, messy, and impossible to ignore. Whether people laughed, cringed, or got angry, the skit accomplished its goal: everyone is talking about Druski once again.
