**carolinakid** · 06-11-20, 04:26 AM

yes also when nascar tried to take it to the next level yrs ago and with all the stupid rules changes today, we lost the real nascar yrs ago.now it just cars that all look the same going around a circle track.plus with no name drivers it boring as hell too.

Auto strong post

I would love to see this guy owning a business and the looters coming to him he’ll blow their heads off

**Roger T. Bannon** · 06-11-20, 07:29 AM

Is there any sport that is more of a sellout than NASCAR? They will sell out for a nickle.

**lakerboy** · 06-11-20, 08:13 AM

Never watched and never will. Bet it a few times. I find all car racing boring. Except the crashing

Way to alienate your fan base, NASCAR...

But wait, their popularity will soar now because it's more inclusive. Blackies will flood the stands and ticket sales will shatter records!

**mink** · 06-11-20, 04:29 PM

Nothing will appease the left. Never apologize. I’d rather be hung as a wolf than hung as a sheep.

Has anyone ever seen a black family in a RV?
Do they except EBT at the races?

i was talking to a person a short time ago and he told me, what happen last night will put petty out.people are pissed big time off of that crap last night......

No fans in the crowds, got to keep sponsorships happy. It’s a smart business decision. Tv contract with Fox is till 2025 so no reason to risk that on a flag

**THE HITMAN** · 06-11-20, 05:38 PM

Good point but I don't see them lasting long anyways.

Yeah true, overall I don’t think the sport is very appealing to young people.

**Eddy Munny** · 06-11-20, 06:03 PM

I think NASCAR could spice it up a bit if they have the black guy speed around the track in an old Caprice Classic and the other racers are in squad cars with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

**thetrinity** · 06-11-20, 06:06 PM

Donk

I gotta say I disagree on this one.

No need for these flags there.

Like the one guy said keep sponsorships happy.

Feels like flying a swastika in Germany if you let them fly.

I think HBO pulling gone with the wind and Disney wanting to rename space mountain is ridiculous though, that’s entertainment, the Confederate flag represents something that actually happened

Same thing with confederate statues, put them at museums or Gettysburg

That flag means a hell of a lot to many NASCAR fans in the South. NASCAR picked the wrong side on this one, especially by saying drivers dont have to stand for the anthem.

It might work with the NBA and the NFL but not with NASCAR, its a much separate entity.

And instead of banning a flag, they should let the Caprice be covered in it's own flag...

You might be right. That link from DDD shows a Nascar Truck series driver who resigned.

“I don’t believe in kneeling during Anthem nor taken ppl right to fly what ever flag they love,” he posted. “I could care less about the Confederate Flag, but there are ppl that do and it doesn’t make them a racist all you are doing is (expletive) one group to cater to another and i ain’t spend the money we are to participate in any political BS!! So everything is for SALE!!”

Exactly... NASCAR and Southern pride are tightly interwoven into the cultural fabric of that entire region. Fukk the sponsors, they knew what they signed up for. It's just another case of pandering to the unsilent minority.

**vitterd** · 06-11-20, 07:56 PM

I don’t watch it but getting rid of confederate flags is always a good idea. Anyone that has one is a whacko.

It’ll work fine for them. They have a tv contract till 2025. That’s 5 years from now, let’s see if these southern fans can hold their grudge that long. The attention span of the average American is short. Corporate sponsors mean more to NASCAR right now. We don’t even know when fans return. At this very moment fans are giving NASCAR very little return on their product. This is a smart by the numbers business decision

50 years old and 32 races with zero poles, zero wins, zero fastest laps, etc.
Gotta wonder if this guy was even going to be able to keep sponsors with this stellar race record.

Funny how it usually bums or guys who’s careers are in the toilet that are quick to take righteous (In their minds) stands. Even kapernick career was trending the wrong direction, I wanna say he had even lost his cemented spot as the starting qb hadn’t he? I often wonder how much conviction he would have had if he been on top his game and set up to sign a huge contract? Guess will never know.

**carolinakid** · 06-11-20, 09:01 PM

what has bubba wallace ever won in the last few yrs?? one of the driver imo that will never win another nascar race unless the whole field has problems

He might have a better chance if he ran instead of drove.
