I’m sure for every white that will now boycott NASCAR, they’ll pick up two blacks.

Great marketing ploy.

Well, I guess that should increase black ticket sales from zero to a few. And by the way, why aren’t at least 14% of the NASCAR drivers and owners black?

They say they want to be inclusive. Yet they apparently don’t want people who want to fly the Stars and Bars. I hope they continue to lose fans and viewers.

I wish someone would ask Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter the following:

During your campaigns for president you both either used the Confederate flag in your campaign or posed in front of the Confederate flag. You say that flag represents racism. That means you were racists when you ran for president. And by the way, why didn’t you select a black as your running mate?

I'd pay good money to see the media ask them that, but it will never happen. DemonRats are allowed to use the confederate flag for the same reason that blacks are allowed to say the n-word and gays are allowed to call each other "queer".

Haven’t cared about NASCAR since I was a kid in the 70s.

Same here. Last time I watched NASCAR was 1979 when Richard Petty won Daytona in a '79 Buick Regal. I just happened to own a '79 Regal, myself.

Drag Racing I can sort of tolerate, that is about it.

I used to. Then they shortened it to 1000' for top fuel. Give me a break !! It's all about the 1/4 mile !! Then they started that stupid playoff sort of thing near the end of the year where points get re-adjusted. Give me the old days where you win or get put on the trailer. Haven't watched the drags (NHRA) for a few years now. Don't miss it.

Perfect example of how mob rule allows them to erode the Constitution by forcing other’s sicknesses on the People.
