International Speedway Corp. and Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (who, together, own most of the Sprint Cup Series tracks) have followed the lead of NASCAR and are asking race fans not to fly the Confederate battle flag during race events. It’s not an outright ban, it’s a “request to refrain.”
AWD knows who’s behind this betrayal of NASCAR’s fan base, The French family who created NASCAR and still own it today.
In a craven attempt to try to expand its fan base beyond its white Southern base, NASCAR may find that caving to the activists is going to cost it more ticket sales than it was ever going to gain by such a wimpy P.R. move.
”Obviously, we have our roots in the South, there are events in the South, it’s part of our history like it is for the country,” France told The Associated Press. ”But it needs to be just that, part of our history. It isn’t part of our future.”
When will people stop confusing tradition with the past. It is the continuity that anchors the values for understanding the present and the future. One drifts with no basis of understanding or experience for guidance when one gives up tradition.
Following the logic of banning things associated with racism of the past, they should be asking Democrats to refrain
from attending their events. Of course,
that would probably cost them…oh, maybe 5 or 6 lost ticket sales.
: )
AND: these A§$H*LES do it in the name of “being inclusive”!!!
F*CK ‘EM WHERE IT HURT$!!!
I think liberal NASCAR policies will eventually succumb to liberal progressive policies. NASCAR is not aligned with climate change and may one day find out where their true interest should have been.
How about a new flag? I suggest taking the Texian “Battle of Gonzales” flag with the cannon and the caption
but substitute the Battle Flag for the cannon.
Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.
Oh the irony.

The France family that owns NASCAR needs us – we don’t need the France family:

Screw them.
I’m bringing my rainbow flag….as a form of protest. Maybe my Isis flag too
I don’t really think you should try to bully the South. They left once and I am sure they will get pissed enough to do it again.
Watching NAPCAR will cure insomnia.
I’m not a huge Nascar fan but, I like a few races…..Daytona, Talledega, Martinsville, Dover, KC, Texas, Atlanta….they all seem to be in the south or pretty close to it…..I believe that they poked a hornets nest and your gonna see more Confederate battle flags then before….at least I hope so…
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you…time to put that rabid animal out of it’s misery.
this is a direct invitation to flood napcar with flags. In fact, a confederate flag vendor would do very well there as an IN YOUR FACE movement.
Can we bring the flag of Israel?
I fly it at home.
I used to enjoy watching NASCAR on tv as a kid – Richard Petty, the Waltripps, Ricky Rudd,etc, even Dale Sr, that rat bastard.
But the fun went out of it when Corporate America(tm) finally noticed our nice little sport down here and decided to suck the life out of it and suck the soul out of it and homogenize it and pasteurize that it would be dull and boring and noncontroversial enough that the marketing department faggots in Corporate Amerika would think that the leftist fucktards in the Northeast, Michigan & Illinois and the LeftCoast would be able to watch it.
Liquor sponsors? Nope. Beer sponsors? Barely tolerated. Cigarette sponsors? Oh hell no!
I’m waiting for a gay interracial couple with a mixed-race kid to pop up in a goddam Cheerios ad during Talladega before I’ll completely pull the plug on NASCAR. But I am damn close…..
Nascar has become the automotive version of wrestling.
the Puerto Ricans hang their flag from the car’s rear view mirror.. so do the people from Jamicia.. So, why can”t I fly a schutzstaffel flag in my car!.. talk about discrimination..
The most boring show on earth (tennis, soccer and golf are close seconds) appears to have rigged the races in favor a few rich grande owners and their quasi-popular drivers. The handwriting for NASCAR actually was their blatant publicity stunt of bringing on board that somewhat attractive female distraction in the guise of equality in racing?
You mean you don’t enjoy watching a bunch of cars drive around in a circle
for 3 or 4 hours? Can’t imagine why not.
; D
If I had artistic and sewing talent, I’d whip up a Heterosexual Militia flag: the standard rainbow stripes upside down with a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike and with the caption
DON’T PACK MY FUDGE
EVERYONE should show up at the next big NECKCAR event with a Rebel Flag. The TV cameras, from any and all angles, could not help but capture a veritable sea of red Confederate battle flags. There would be no hiding the Vox Populi of the good ol’ boys and gals.
That PC bullsh!t would be whisked away like a skydiver’s fart.
NASCAR lost me when they allowed Toyota into their truck series. Toyota HQ is not in Detroit. But that’s just me
