Two anti-Israel protesters were arrested at NASCAR’s second annual Chicago Street Race on Sunday after locking themselves inside the fence for 40 minutes. 

The protesters held up a sign that read, "Pritzker: We charge genocide" and "Bombs for Gaza, prisons for Illinois" while sitting on top of the fence. 

Pritzker is in reference to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who protesters called out for using Illinois "state dollars to finance Israel’s genocidal campaign [in] Palestine."

Organizers of the protest released a statement that said the act was done to condemn "local, state and federal governments’ ongoing genocide and mass imprisonment agenda."

The statement also said it condemned NASCAR driver Alon Day, who is Jewish and has publicly shown his support for Israel in its war against Hamas.

"Organizers also condemn the attempt made by Chicago city officials and NASCAR to manufacture consent for Israel’s mass death campaign by using the race as a staging ground for ‘proud Zionist’ driver Alon Day’s Israeli propaganda (although, it seems Day’s racing skills have made this attempt an uphill battle)," the statement read, per the City Bureau’s Grace Del Vecchio.

ISRAELI NASCAR DRIVER ALON DAY TO PAY HOMAGE TO HOSTAGES AT UPCOMING RACE, SLAMS RISE OF ANTISEMITISM

The organizers poked fun at Day for wrecking his No. 45 Chevy Camaro after a mishap under a yellow caution flag during a practice session on Saturday. Day crashed into Justin Allgaier’s stationary vehicle after an earlier collision with a tire barrier. Day was unaware of the hazard, and "when I came there, I mean, on my side, I couldn’t hear anything."

Day recently spoke with Fox News Digital about how he was hoping to do more than just racing in Chicago this weekend.

Day, the lone Israeli driver in NASCAR, wanted to pay homage to those still held captive by Hamas after its Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. He drove his Camaro for Alpha Prime Racing, with Jet Support Services inc. (JSSI) and Setna iO serving as two of the sponsors. 

Day’s car was wrapped with JSSI-branded blue and white, which are the colors of the Israeli flag. The car also had the Hebrew word for life on it, חי, in tribute to those being held captive. But unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to race on Sunday after the wreck because Alpha Prime Racing didn’t have a backup car for him. 

Day said he has five friends who are among the 116 people still believed to be held captive by Hamas. 

"I think I’m more motivated than ever. I won four times, the European Championship, and I always did it for my own success," Day said. "Like all of us, we’re human. We try to be the best we can. We try to win [championships] for ourselves.

"I think this time something a bit [changed] in me – doing that not only for myself but actually for the whole country, for the hostages, obviously for the [Israeli] soldiers, for the Jewish community in general here in the United States – I’m motivated by something else, by the war, by friends that are still hostages. This is what actually wants me to push to do even better."

Day also said in the interview with Fox News Digital that he believes anti-Israel agitators made the streets of Chicago dangerous. 

"The pro-Hamas protests on the streets, especially in the streets of Chicago, which is actually getting really dangerous. I was there for a couple of days, like a week ago, and I felt the need to check that I’m not wearing anything that can identify myself as Jewish," he said. "I mean, this is how bad it is. Sounds like Germany in the ‘30s that I need to hide my Judaism."

The organizers of the protest also demanded that "President Joe Biden call for a permanent cease-fire and for the U.S. to cut all aid to Israel, including local and state governments" and condemned Pritzker’s plan to spend "over $900 million to build two new prisons in Illinois."

WURD, a Philadelphia-based Black-owned radio station, has parted ways with its host after she revealed that the White House provided her with a list of pre-determined questions prior to her interview with President Biden last week.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders admitted during a CNN interview Saturday that that Biden's team sent her eight questions to ask ahead of his interview on "The Source" last Wednesday. Lawful-Sanders said she "approved" four of the questions and used them during her sit-down with the president, which marked his first interview following his disastrous debate performance last month. 

The questions centered around Biden's accomplishments, debate performance, progress in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, what's at stake in the election, and what he would say to voters who are considering not voting in the presidential election.

FLASHBACK: BIDEN HAS A HISTORY OF COORDINATING ‘SCRIPTED’ INTERVIEWS, PRESS CONFERENCES WITH MEDIA AHEAD OF TIME

On Sunday, WURD's president and CEO, Sara M. Lomax, announced that Lawful-Sanders and WURD have "mutually agreed to part ways," emphasizing that "WURD Radio is not a mouthpiece for the Biden or any other admin."

"On July 3, the first post-debate interview with President Joe Biden was arranged and negotiated independently by WURD Radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders without knowledge, consultation or collaboration with WURD management," Lomax said in a statement on Sunday.

"The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners. As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately," she added.

Lomax said WURD has remained an independent voice in radio and that agreeing to a pre-approved list of questions "jeopardizes" the trust its audience has placed in them for 20 years to "hold elected officials accountable."

"This is something we take very seriously," her statement reads.

"This practice of de-legitimizing Black voices continues today. WURD Radio is not a mouthpiece for the Biden or any other Administration. Internally, we will commit to reviewing our policies, procedures, and practices to reinforce WURD’s independence and trust with our listeners. But mainstream media should do its own introspection to explore how they have lost the trust of so many Americans, Black Americans chief among them."

SECOND LOCAL RADIO HOST ADMITS TO GETTING QUESTIONS FROM BIDEN TEAM AHEAD OF INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT

Lawful-Sanders' show page has been removed from WURD's website as of Sunday afternoon.

Her departure comes shortly after a second local radio host who interviewed Biden in the days following the presidential debate admitted that he received the questions beforehand. In statements given to ABC News, Wisconsin radio station host Earl Ingram confirmed that he was given five questions to ask Biden during their recent chat and wasn’t able to get through all of them before the interview ended.

CNN's Blackwell told Lawful-Sanders that he listened to both interviews and said the questions were "essentially the same" in both. Both radio show appearances were branded as an opportunity for Biden to prove to voters that he is capable of answering pointed questions and defending his record after his debate performance raised serious concerns about his mental competency and has resulted in mounting calls for him to drop out of the race. 

Biden campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt defended the practice of sending questions prior to interviews in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"It’s not at all an uncommon practice for interviewees to share topics they would prefer. These questions were relevant to news of the day - the president was asked about this debate performance as well as what he'd delivered for black Americans," she said. "We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners. In addition to these interviews, the President also participated in a press gaggle yesterday as well as an interview with ABC. Americans have had several opportunities to see him unscripted since the debate."

Lawful-Sanders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
