I don't get it. If you don't like NASCAR, whatever. Everyone's not going to like every sport.

But people instantly playing the "redneck" card mystify me just as much as those who rush to say NBA fans are just ghetto hoodlums. Obviously untrue, but that doesn't stop some folks.

Yep. when 100% of the drivers, owners, and crew chiefs live better than anyone on this board and 98% of the crew members do too. But yeah, they must be trash.

Nascar has more people than just drivers, most of the pit crews are made up of former college football players, many of whom are black.




I understand that, but my point is it's probably a bit awkward for the sole black driver.

Is there any black drivers?
I literally just asked this question, myself. The answer is, yes.

I would say that the Confederate battle flags being flown around Nascar stadiums are way more unAmerican than sitting for the national anthem, but I'm not a redneck so I guess I don't get it.


I must have missed when residents of the statws of the former CSA, who waved (and wave) that flag, refused to serve in the US military in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, or any engagement since.

Eat a dick.

Is this really "news"? Nascar owners saying anything different would be FAKE NEWS



Also, is Nascar watched or attended anymore

NASCAR, unfortunately, is a shell of its former self. The 48's domination, along with never fully recovering from the 2008 recession, has virtually ruined the sport. Plus, the Chase format is vapid.

Actually, he's the third or fourth black driver to reach the top NASCAR series. Wendell Scott and Willy T. Ribbs beat him by a few decades.

I'd watch NASCAR if they went back to the old school. Drive on Sunday, sell on Monday. The cars these guys today have zero other than a name to do with factory cars.


Impress me, race a 125 HP Eco Focus 500 miles .

Well, that's your pov, hs. But if you think defending BLM and the thuggery and overt disrespect for Rule of Law therein, and is in any way going to undermine all the logical conclusions that "rednecks" draw in relation to most all Blacks who do (defend BLM)...then whether you realize it or not...you/that POV is laying the rational basis for a REAL form of Racism to rise up. And it is. I hear the talk, coming from places where I never figured it would.

If there is a 'devil'...he's having a good run.
