Ray Ciccarelli announced the end of his NASCAR career Wednesday following NASCAR's decision to allow kneeling during the national anthem and to ban Confederate flags from all events.

Ciccarelli, 50, posted this message to Facebook:

Well its been a fun ride and dream come true but if this is the direction Nascar is headed we will not participate after the 2020 season is over , I don't believe in kneeling during Anthem nor taken ppl right to fly whatever flag they love. I could care less about the Confederate Flag but there are ppl that do and it doesn't make them a racist all you are doing is f—***one group to cater to another and i ain’t spend the money we are to participate in any political BS!! So everything is for SALE!!

His post has since been deleted.

Headline omits “following NASCAR’s decision to allow kneeling during the national anthem”

There will doubtless still be stock car racing in some form, but I’ll be surprised if NASCAR is still around in two years.

It’s not the communists/fascists rampaging through every corner of society that need a revolution. It’s us.

Sounds like a man who has had enough of the stupid sh*t that seems to be running amok in this country, today.

From my favorite Long Island oyster boys...


For this fantastic night was billed as nothing less than the end of an age
A last crusade, a final outrage, in this day of flaccid plumage
And there was worn no cloth but leather
Made supple by years of stinging cinders

BS!! So everything is for SALE!!

I think he is saying that NASCAR sold itself and not to “anti racism” but to a Leftist political agenda.

Unfortunately the guy is a nobody and won’t be missed. NASCAR even posted a humiliating reply to his Twitter post, saying something close to this: “We had to look up your name because we didn’t recognize it and don’t remember you ever driving in a NASCAR race. Bye.”
