I have never attended nor watched a Nascar race, but I am surmising that this is a big deal.

Nope. Nascar along with most of America is seeing the confederate flag for what it symbolizes. Good on them.

I'm a no good Northerner and now I'm worried that if they keep this up, the tearing down of Civil War statues, the banning of flags and erasing of History that some take great pride in, minus the slavery part and now banning the Confederate Flag at Nascar... which screams "rebel" which is closely related to the origins of Nascar itself that this will all lead to the South Rising Again!



I can't imagine how the North would fair these days with so many of its populace being anti gun Pro mamby pamby....

Or, some folks will just start flying the original "Stars and Bars" flag. Nobody today knows what that means anyway, as it doesn't look anything like the battle flag.
They're not allowed on the properties so I would assume that would mean parking lots as well.

I'm guessing that NASCAR hasn't got a plan for forcibly taking them from people?

I wonder how the south would do with so much of it being anti-science and education.

I'm sure they have some sort of plan. Face it, the world is changing. And the racism and small mindedness appear to be on the way out. Woot!

It symbolizes Southern Pride.
Southern Nascar fans aren't going to like this at all.

It symbolizes hate to a lot of other people. They'll have find their pride someplace else.
