Get used to racing in empty stadiums. I'm no fan of the Confederate Flag but I'm no fan of political grandstanding and virtue signalling either. #getPoliticsoutofSport

prevnextThis is the final straw. I’ve been watching NASCAR since the 70s. I used to go races proudly with my pops. All lives matter. Stay out of politics. You lost a fan

So just curious, what will nascar do if someone is flying a flag on a camper? I really don’t see how they can enforce this.

I have always watched nascar and grew up on racetracks. I have to take a stand here. Being "politically correct " is not always the best stand to take. Some of these choices are doing away with the history of our country from its roots. Just because someone complains! Really

I had ancestors fight and die for that flag during the Civil War. It’s my heritage. A heritage that is embarrassing & a mistake in history. That flag has no place in our country, good for you NASCAR.

prevnextThe idea that people think that companies haven't run the numbers and assessed the risk and decided this is the best thing for their business is astonishing.

prevTo everybody swearing that they're going to quit NASCAR because of this: you honestly think NASCAR didn't consider you'd do so?
Clearly, your patronization isn't important to NASCAR.
