NASCAR has a boring product, and all of the virtue signaling isn't going to change that. NASCAR should keep dancing with the ones who brought them.


That's something they've failed to see for a long time. NASCAR started abandoning the ones that got them to where they're at when they started leaving tracks such as North Wilksboro, Rockingham, took a race from Darlington, etc, to build boring cookie cutter mile and a half tracks in places where NASCAR would never be much more than a curiosity.

5 years down the road it will be a felonious crime to have a confederate flag in your possession.

That's a clear violation of the First Amendment.

I can see it now...thousands upon thousands of Black fans filling the stands to watch a majority of white drivers race around a track for hours with the only real excitement being the drama between drivers and sometimes the occasional wreck.
Yeah, that's gonna happen!

Why do blacks want to dominate every thing? This country will never end of this race pit.

Imagine being so upset with a piece of fabric that you have to officially ban it, or worse yet, simp for a multi-billion corporation that bans it.


Pretty easy to imagine for most people not feeling the need to defend it.

Listen, I was 15. I grew Up in the south. I had the rebel flag on stuff. But then I grew Up and put a half a minute of thought into it.

Right. Five hours of "Turn left! Turn left! Turn left!" I just can't see it appealing to a younger market.

Aaaaannnnnddddd the media ran breathlessly to NASCAR's most overrated and overjoyed driver, Bubba Wallace, for his comment.

"I thing it's great that NASCAR is finally getting rid of the systemic racism that's been holding drivers like me back. Now, without distractions like rebel flags and nooses in my face all day, every day, I just might finish a race in the top 20, or at least not crash coming out of the pits."

The Confederate flag was always a symbol of Southern Pride. Now the liberal media and woke emotional libtards are using it like the early American settlers pointing and saying 'witch' at half the young girls. I bet NASCAR has no problem with any racist BLM flag! We are going to lose everything due to some soy people starting campaigns from their basements. But NASCAR for their part, is finished- attacking their base is suicide, don't care if they are worried about sponsorship dollars or not!

It has been on life support for years already.
I used to never miss a race 15-20 years ago, now I couldn't tell you the last time I watched anything other than the last part of Daytona and Talladega. Just to see the big wreck that you know is going to happen.
