The next races in the Xfinity and Cup series will be on May 15 and 16th at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware. It remains to be seen whether a gas shortage could affect those races or future events. Currently, a pipeline shutdown has caused gas shortages across the Southeast and East Coast. On May 7, hackers hit Colonial Pipeline with a ransomware attack. This effectively caused a...

This time, it grovels for the sin of having had Texas Governor Greg Abbott wave a green flag at the All-Star Race. I have no gay pride. I
don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much. It’s enough for me that our laws give people equal protection and most Americans no longer consider homosexuality a sin. And that’s probably enough for most people. And I bet most people, like me, dislike the annual barrage of mandatory love for the LGBTQ+++ crowd and especially dislike the industry that’s sprung up around confusing kids about their biological and then...

this weekend's NASCAR race at the Circuit of the Americas outside Austin, a walk through the car and RV parking lots revealed how effective NASCAR's ban on Confederate flags has been. Among the vehicles for the estimated 70,000 fans, not a single Confederate battle flag or any other flag representing the South's fight during the Civil War was spotted. But one banner that was conspicuously popular...

Just days before it was found, Wallace - NASCAR's only full-time black driver - had successfully lobbied for the auto racing company to permanently ban the Confederate Flag from being displayed at any of its events. The
request was made at the height of racial injustice protests across the country following the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota. Wallace received an onslaught of backlash over the motion, with some fans of the sport claiming the flag was a crucial part of their southern heritage and therefore an integral part of NASCAR, a sport with deep Southern roots.
