NASCAR has provoked the ire of racing fans after tweeting a "happy holidays" message, avoiding any mention of any specific religious holiday - just a week before Christmas.
Many on social media were unhappy with the greeting, as NASCAR has a largely conservative fan base, who insisted that the company should have wished its fans a Merry Christmas instead of the non-denominational Happy Holidays.
"Can't say Merry Christmas NASCAR? Pathetic," one user wrote, and another added: "The correct term is Merry Christmas!"
A third user tweeted: "What happened to Merry Christmas?"
