The discussion about his personal life continued with...

Fans at Florida’s Daytona International Speedway were having none of what some of them called “political correctness” this weekend and let the Confederate flag fly, despite NASCAR’s call for its removal. Above tents and trailers at the Coke Zero 400 it flew, including a version featuring a menacing skull-faced rider with the slogan: “The South Will Rise Again.” It decorated clothing, tee-shirts hailing “Southern Thunder,” and adorned coolers, beer cozies and skin, in the form of tattoos. And there were no apologies.
