NASCAR will no longer require its teams to stand during the national anthem. Instead, drivers and team members will be allowed to engage in peaceful protest.
According to NBC sports’ Dustin Long, “NASCAR eliminated the guidelines before last weekend’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. NASCAR official Kirk Price knelt during the invocation and raised a fist. Price, who served on active duty in the U.S. Army for three years, remained kneeling during the anthem while he saluted the flag.”
Bubba Wallace, the sports only full-time black driver, called Price’s protest a “powerful move.”
“If I would have seen it, I would have went there and stood next to him, kneeled next to him because it’s such a powerful move,” Wallace told CNN. “A man, an incredible man, who has served our country, kneeling down. People think it’s disrespecting the flag and going against our military, and it’s definitely not.
“I was so uneducated what the kneeling meant when it started but now reading about it and what it stands for … and I’m still doing a lot of learning myself, don’t get me wrong, I don’t know everything about what’s going on in the world but that’s what we are trying to deliver the message. Listen and learn to be able to better educate ourselves.”
Wallace is set to race Wednesday night in a No. 43 car adorned with a #BlackLivesMatter paint scheme.

Kissing so many rear ends is going to give the corporate leaders chapped lips. But not customers.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Big Sport businesses are siding with political forces they think will be in control next year. All big business will do the same soon.
Big Business will start social reeducation with their workers too, those training classes will be required to stay employed.
I was a lifelong NASCAR fan, since the 60’s. NASCAR is now dead to me.
As far as I’m concerned, NASCAR died with Dale Earnhardt anyways.
Another once-great American institution shot to hell by liberalism.
College sports are already seeing this.
Coach at Clemson is already in a bit of hot water over some alleged statements on the practice field three years ago.
Good thing for him he's won a title. That will forgive some of his "racial" sins.
Gonna free up a lot of time this Fall.
That is a nice way to say it.
WTF is RUNNING NASCAR??? STOP THIS MADNESS!! It USED to be PATRIOTIC!
PGA and UFC
What’s next? Blacks get to gang bang all the white chicks?
GGODBYE TO ALL VIEWING OF ANYTHING INVOLVING NASCAR.. THEY CAN GO TO HELL.
NASCAR can go f*** itself. Oh wait! They just did.
Now I understand.
NASCAR is for people who think southerners are racist.
Maybe they can repurpose those empty race tracks for section 8 housing to repay all those who they oppressed.
Cuck nation.
Does NASCAR, like the NFl and NBA, receive so much television money it can tell its fan base to go to hell?
Is there any national organisation which has had the guts to not genuflect/ lick the azzes of BLM and associates? What will they do when the demands escalate into demanding money, part ownership, etc? If they think this lip service will protect them from making real concessions, theyre wrong- the lip service compliance is to set them up for making real concessions.
NASCAR’s attendance numbers at races have been declining for some time...I gather the TV numbers are also down.
Their TV numbers just dropped by one more at my house.
Black folk ain’t gonna be converted to NASCAR. They may leave you and your advertisers alone, but....Get Woke, Go Broke.
Sorry. I have better things to do now. The Lockdown has changed a lot of bad habits like watching sports (Korean Baseball ??? Though they’re not too bad)
Move On It’s over!
