NASCAR’s New Monster Energy Girls’ Outfits Aren’t Popular With Everyone

A new sponsor means a new look for NASCAR — and not just in the logos that will be seen on the cars, firesuits and signs around the track.

The sport’s switch to Monster Energy from Sprint as a title sponsor meant the arrival of the new Monster Energy Girls, whose outfits are a bit, well, different than their predecessor Miss Sprint Cups’ firesuits.

The “girls” showed off their new outfits ahead of their appearances at the Daytona 500, and they’re proving to be fairly controversial. Have a look:

To say that fans are torn on the matter would be quite an understatement.

While plenty of fans clearly were offended by the outfits, others didn’t seem to understand what all the fuss is about.

Regardless of how you feel about the new outfits, let’s hope the focus Sunday afternoon remains solely on the long-overdue return of great racing.
