I’m sure the fans will just replace them with rainbow flags.

Hi.

The First lady and me have never considered owning the Stars and Bars, or any Confederate Battle flag.

Methinks it’s time to purchase one.

It bet it does very little for sales, outside of some possible minor boycotting at the beginning. The right in general has no spine for long-term sacrifice to make a point.

And that is why N. America will soon look like Venezuela or the old USSR!

The left is slowly taking over and destroying every American institution until we won’t be America anymore. It couldn’t be done without the wilful ignorance of the people. Sorry to be so cynical.

I wonder if they will do away the prayer that is said before each race, maybe the flyovers, maybe the national anthem....a sport that didn’t allow kneeling during the National Anthem....

It’s amazing to me that a sport would tell it’s most loyal, most ardent fans to basically piss of we don’t need you anymore.....

personally I hope the sport fails, goes out of business and someone else picks it up and returns it to the roots...

On the good news side, somebody is getting lots of free electricity out of this......

...they can just hook a generator to Bill France seniors body- I'm certain it's spinning fast enough right now to drive the world's largest dynamo.

This is the liberals trying to suppress reality. The people of the south were not all fighting to keep slavery. Some were fighting to maintain their solidarity. I am a northerner, but I respect the rights of southerners to honor their people. I thing that destroying their statues and symbols is very wrong and I oppose it.

200,000 fans should show up WITH and FLY Confederate Flags. Me? I couldn’t care less if NASCAR lives or dies.

In a related story, the Firecracker 400 will be renamed the “Fire All Cops 400”...

Looks very similar to the Georgia State flag.

That takes this long-time fan out of their picture...
What a bummer... Lost both NASCAR (since Feb 1954) and the Corps (since June 1951) in the same week...

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that by the time I am 90 (3.5 years from now), the American flag will be banned as well... It is virtually a "done deal"!

Like the death of vaudeville, so goes NASCAR.

The sad truth is that they've been dying for years and they'll do anything to get some bounce out of a dead cat. Maybe they can sell it to viewers in China.

It wouldn't matter what they did; virtue signal, don't virtue signal - they're dead anyway. They sold their souls to television advertising and as television as a medium dies, so goes NASCAR. People aren't going to watch a semi-scripted event based on decimal points when they can watch anything and everything in the world on the internet - or better yet, star in their own webisodes.

Remember when horse and buggy racing was the thing?
