re: NASCAR driver quits after Confederate flag ban: 'All you are doing is f—ing one group'

Everyone says NASCAR can ban the Confederate Flags from their races, but can they? Sure NASCAR can ban it on tracks they own, but what about non-NASCAR tracks? Tracks like Indy, Pocono, Kentucky, Charlotte, Dover, Atlanta, Bristol, Vegas, Texas and Sonoma. That's 16 out of the 36 races on the NASCAR schedule.
NASCAR would have no legal sway at those races. Plus what about the fact that many of these facilities have received state money over the years. Does that not make them quasi-state facilities? If these facilities want to be truly private then they need to give that state money back. I really would like to hear the legal arguments on that.

Legally it has nothing to do with the tracks and everything to do with who is putting on the event.
If you rent a venue you can ban pretty much whatever you want.

Kentucky, Charlotte, Atlanta, Bristol, Vegas, Texas, and Sonoma are all owned by Speedway Motorsports.
Dover and Nashville are owned by Dover Downs.
Indy and Pocono are both independently owned.
Without NASCAR bringing races to their tracks, what do they do to make money? They are somewhat held at the barrel of a gun.
