Stock car racing hasn’t been really competitive and watchable since about 1972.

I may be wrong, but flying the confederate flag nowadays seems to signal that a person is a Southerner and proud to be one, but not necessarily wanting the return of the confederacy. The same people are proud to be American and fly the American flag too.

When they authorized disrespecting the American Flag, I decided to no longer be a nascar fan.

Be nice to have Sunday afternoons back after so many years

What a CUCK? Boring ass Virtue Signalling. Hey NASCAR I would rather watch grass grow than watch NASCAR.

Why bother missing it, it’s only history. Soon you won’t have any history left, then the Left may not think they need you either and you’ll end up missing and no one will notice.

They now hand out white flags and knee pads.

You are absolutely correct!But is is easier to be in denial than to have to face facts. Facing facts is unpleasant. Because when facts are faced or confronted, then they must be dealt with.

They would focus on the cross and have no idea what it stood for.

Does this moron feel better, now that he’s bathed himself in righteous sanctimony ?

NASCAR died with me when Brian France assumed the helm. He’s a disgrace to his father and grandfather, who made him so wealthy that he could transform the sport they founded into his own little virtue-signaling playground.

Disgusting !

“The Confederate flag is gone. I will not miss it for one single second.” I wonder who paid him to write this garbage.

The Confederate flag looks cool and I would just wear Confederate hats and t-shirts to races.

Fast forward 20 years (if even that)

“The US Flag is gone, I won’t miss it for a single second.”

I think about as much of the Confederate battle flag as Ryan does, but then the fool wraps himself in the American flag while saying where and how Americans can express themselves. He doesn’t know what the American flag stands for, and he can FOAD.

it was wrong for the KKK to burn crosses THEN but its okay now to burn whole churches with many crosses in them...

the confederate flag is not my issue....but its our history period....bury the history and you bury the reasons why...
