This will not go over well at all.
ETA- NASCAR chief asks racegoers to not bring "offensive symbols" to track.
You know this is only going to cause more flags to come out.

NASCAR tracks are asking fans to refrain from displaying the Confederate flag at all races and racing facilities, the tracks said in a joint industry statement on Thursday.
"As members of the NASCAR industry, we join NASCAR in the desire to make our events among the most fan-friendly, welcoming environments in all of sports and entertainment," said a statement signed by all 30 racetracks with a NASCAR national series race. "To do that, we are asking our fans and partners to join us in a renewed effort to create an all-inclusive, even more welcoming atmosphere for all who attend our events."
NASCAR has been under scrutiny as part of the national conversation surrounding the Confederate flag because while it does not use the flag in any official capacity, it has not banned fans from flying it while camping at the racetracks.
quote:
NASCAR returns to Daytona International Speedway this weekend for its first stop in the South since the shooting at a South Carolina church brought the Confederate flag issue back into the national spotlight.
Earlier this week, track president Joie Chitwood III said DIS would give a U.S. flag to anyone turning in a Confederate flag as the venue wanted to celebrate America's birthday and ''we want to make sure (fans) wave our nation's flag.''
You know this is only going to cause more flags to come out.

Well the queer flag is an insensitive symbol to me. Can they ban that one as well?

If Dale Jr. doesn't have a problem with it, then it shouldn't be too bad.

Are they gonna go around to every rv, tent, trailer, tailgate and take them down? Yea this will go over like a lead balloon.
And the ever falling attendance/ratings will only further plummet after this little stunt.

"By gawd if 88 tells me I don't need to wave the flag well, dammit, I just might not wave it anymore."

Why on earth would they want to alienate most of their mouth breathing fan base.
Posted on 6/30/15 at 8:16 am to NYNolaguy1
does he not know his target audience? man....and how the hell did he get to be chairman of NASCAR?
Posted on 6/30/15 at 8:18 am to NYNolaguy1
Smart move to alienate your small demographic fan base! Should be a hit with the spectators of that sport. Dude sure is a good business man..

NASCAR hasn't been relevant in a long time.
This won't help.

Talk about shitting where you eat.
Posted on 6/30/15 at 9:38 am to NYNolaguy1
This guy is pissing off well over half of Nascars fan base.
Posted on 6/30/15 at 10:20 am to NYNolaguy1
Why has the flag just began to offend the NASCAR chairman?
Posted on 6/30/15 at 10:43 am to NYNolaguy1
That's like Major League Baseball banning hot dogs in their stadiums.

It's over, NASCAR's done.

If he wanted to help his sport he would ban the cookie cutter 1.5mi tri oval tracks that now make up the bulk of the schedule.

It still won't make me enjoy watching cars going 'round n 'round.
