NASCAR Photog Hints That Jeremy Clements Actually Made Sexist Crack At Danica Patrick

We're still waiting on MTV blogger Marty Beckerman to post a story explaining what it was NASCAR driver Jeremy Clements said this weekend that resulted in Clements being suspended from the sport. But now a photographer for NASCAR has chimed in to say that the remarks were directed at a woman, and possibly more sexist than racist.

NASCAR media photographer Allen Bedgood just tweeted that he has learned of the remarks that resulted in Clements' suspension, but did not go into detail about what they were, but it's heavily implied it was about Danica Patrick.

Just learned what Jeremy Clements said to a reporter that got him indefinitely suspended. He made a remark towards a female driver. #NASCAR

@itsmrsmith Not really -- guess it could be taken that way, though. It was more of a sexist remark than anything.

@spacie_stacie You would be correct.

An MTV reporter was offended by Clements' remark and approached #NASCAR. The comments he made were never printed or aired.

@wny24 MTV Reporter himself told me. I'll post the comments when I feel the time is right. The reporter hasn't even published them yet.

Was the comment about Danica? As we noted in our earlier story, Clements and a NASCAR handler were taking Beckerman to meet Johanna Long, whom he later wrote about. But these tweets imply it's Danica, who received the lion's share of publicity this weekend.

Hopefully, we'll find out soon.
