Druski, whose real name is Andrew Desbordes, is a comedian who became famous for his social media skits, stand-up routines, and podcast appearances with comedians like Theo Von and Tom Segura. He started posting funny skits on Instagram back in 2017, and now one of his latest sketches has gone viral at a NASCAR race.
Over the weekend at the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, Druski disguised himself as a white man and went unnoticed. He wore full whiteface, added chest tattoos, a mullet, and overalls, playing a southern redneck character. In the video, he’s seen delivering a vulgar toast, inviting a woman to share a cigarette, and even interacting with fans in the crowd. During the national anthem, he stood with driver Ty Gibbs, who looked like he was struggling to hold back laughter. Later, Druski moved into the stands to watch the race alongside other fans.
The skit quickly caught the internet’s attention. Some people found it hilarious and praised the makeup and the effort, while others were offended. Critics argued that it reinforced stereotypical images of southern rednecks and touched on sensitive racial topics. The conversation also sparked debates about race and satire, with users questioning whether whiteface should be considered acceptable in comedy today.
Comments on the video ranged from “Druski just out here doing white face is wild” to people joking about the makeup. Others raised concerns about racial boundaries in comedy, pointing out the controversial nature of blackface and how humor can sometimes cross uncomfortable lines.
