Nascar bans the use of confederate flag at their events

NASCAR has prohibited the display of the confederate flag from all NASCAR events and properties. In its statement, NASCAR said that the presence of the confederate flag at NASCAR events runs contrary to its commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, its competitors and its industry. It added that bringing people together around a love for racing and the community that it creates is what makes their fans and sport special. At the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville, Bubba Wallace displayed the new paint work on his car, which was a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement.
