NASCAR Racer Zach Herrin Driving Rainbow Colored Car to fight “Don’t Say Gay” Laws
Living life outside of the ‘box’.
Zach Herrin wrote on Instagram “This one means more than anyone will ever understand! I’m PROUD to bring @LambdaLegal on board as my primary partner to kick off the ‘23 @NASCARRoots race season next weekend at @Daytona”
Like me, Lambda Legal cares deeply about LGBTQ+ causes and partnering with them is a perfect fit. I want to be visible in professional sports so that my voice is heard by those who feel silenced and resonates on their behalf.
Sports is a bridge for understanding and everyone should always feel welcomed. We’re your sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers – and maybe your favorite NASCAR drivers 😉
I’ll be driving for anyone who feels silenced and I expect we’ll be loud and fast 🏁🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

“When the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill was first brought to Florida I thought there was a lack of large LGBTQ+ voices, specifically athletes, taking their stance to say we’re highly against this,” Herrin told Outsports.
Herrin actually debuted as a racer at Daytona at age 16. But he walked away to find himself. He returned 10 years later as an out and proud gay man, he told Queerty hoping “to help create a more inclusive and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ fans to feel welcome.”
“I wouldn’t have walked away from living my dream if I had a role model to look up to and someone to help guide me as I chased my dreams and looked for acceptance at the same time,” he said.
