TALLADEGA, Alabama — It has been a little more than a week since NASCAR instituted a ban on Confederate flags at its facilities. That has led to at least one person publicly expressing their frustration before the now-postponed GEICO 500 at the Talladega Superspeedway. High above the track an hour prior to the scheduled start of the race was a plane with the Confederate flag and an accompanying message, “Defund NASCAR.” https://twitter.com/TMZ/status/1274802026270961665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1274802026270961665&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Fsports%2F2020%2F06%2F21%2Fplane-with-defund-nascar-confederate-flag-banner-flies-above-talladega-superspeedway%2F Last week, the series made the announcement after the sanctioning body’s top series only black driver, Bubba Wallace, voiced his support for a possible ban. Reminders were posted around the track on Sunday that Confederate flags were no longer allowed on the premises. The GEICO 500 race was postponed due to weather and is set to take place at 2 p.m. local time on Monday.

The cowardly France family who runs Nascar gave into greed. Nothing new under the sun.

This bit of up-yours-NASCAR shows some spirit of resistance against the trendy set. Three cheers for whoever did this.

From now on NASCAR will only allow black gay drivers who can’t breathe with their hands up while trying to kill a cop.

I haven’t watched any NASCAR since the 2001 Daytona 500. RIP Dale 3.

When Big Bill France turned it over to his son that was a positive step but when he turned it over to Brian France who had never turned a wrench in his life, the downward spiral took off, they went corporate, nationwide and got rid of all the old time drivers for new 18 year old punks who no one knows...

As expected, right on cue:

“A noose was found in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall, NASCAR says”

The thing is, when you call your customers racists you should expect some level of pushback.
