The AMA Supercross is finishing off in UTAH, its a great fight with Tomac and Webb.
So far anyway, no political correct horsesh@t yet, other than the silly mask and distancing rules.

The BLM car will be given a 50 lap headstart.

They lost me when blacklivesmatter had a car in the race. (The anchors seemed to point it out.)

The Black Lives Matter car should get a 10 lap head start, just to be fair.

Good idea, and the driver, Bubba Wallace might even have won the race if the rest of the cars had flashing red and blue lights.

Who knew there was a whole army of soi boys, snowflakes and SJW’s just dying to watch NASCAR? Or maybe this is just more MSM fake news BS. Hmm, I wonder which one it could be.

My guess is that many tuned in just to see the BLM car eat a wall. As for myself, the France Family killed NASCAR for me years ago. Not going back, either.

A little early to determine this isn’t it?

If it loses, it is because of racism.

When they start racing electric cars the young crowd will jump right in it. Each Prius can tow a skateboarder. Wearing a helmet and a facemask.

People are starved for anything sporty

Like Bubba Boi

BTW isn’t Bubba appropriating White Culture?

Yeh but to be fair that first game was before they outlawed choke holds. LOL

The race they are comparing it to was a Monday afternoon running of a rainout race. Of course no one watched.

First of all, most people don’t even know what a “real” Confederate Flag looks like. Take one of those to a Race and see what happens.

Secondly, how many so called Confederate (Battle) Flags are flown at a typical NASCAR Race? The way this is being blown up you would think there were Thousands.

So stupid on so many levels.

I don’t remember the Confederate flag ever being at a NASCAR race.
