A Confederate flag banner was flown over the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee on Wednesday ahead of NASCAR’s All-Star Race.
The banner flown over the Wednesday race also included the website “SCV.org,” a website operated by the organization The Sons of Confederate Veterans, USA Today reported. The organization also claimed credit for a banner showing the Confederate Flag that was flown over a race in Talladega, Fla. last month.
Bristol Herald Courier reporter Tim Dodson shared footage of the banner Wednesday.
NASCAR in June banned displays of the flag at all of its events and properties, saying that it “runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors and our industry.”

Bubba shunted to the kerb.
Wasn’t there a small crowd at this one? What was their response?
I read recently that a couple of retired NASCAR greats are planning a competitor to NASCAR and are supposedly well funded and have TV deals already signed.
Yet, I have to wonder, if this newly hatched competitor to NASCAR is supposedly not woke as NASCAR suits obviously are, how is it they scored a TV deal with any WOKE network?
Was the banner hooked to the plane by a noose?
Er, um, I mean a garage pull?
Tony Stewart and somebody.
I never liked him.
Bubba needs to get rid of the car if they want to preach about inclusion.
Nooscar hung itself when Brian France took the reins.
The fans are fed up.
Deo Vindice !
How does “Bubba” get #43?
And there MAY be ropes from all garage doors like they were
at NASCAR, which means that if they are tied with a loop,
on the end, THEY COULD BE.
“ Last month, a noose was found in the garage of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, the racing circuit’s only Black driver. An FBI investigation found that the noose was a garage door pull that had been there since last year and not a hate crime directed at him.”
So, why did they write ‘last month a noose was found’? It should have said, ‘last month Bubba mistakenly thought a door pull was a noose’
Ray Evernham.
Part of NASCAR “reparations” ...If he finishes in the top 50% of any race...He gets a Trophy too...if he docent finish in the top half of a race...he gets a 1 lap lead on the next race ..its only fair...He's the only 1/2 black driver in Nas"scar"......./s
Makes no sense to me why they would give him that number either. If anything numbers 3 and 43 both should be retired from NASCAR. That way no one comes along and embarrasses the sport while using such a legendary number. No Red Wing is allowed to use #9 since it was was Gordie Howe’s. Same thing should apply here IMO.
I’m surprised that a “Federal” Judge doesn’t make NASCAR let him win a race. NASCAR races are racist.
He drives for Richard Petty Enterprises.
I would love to hear what Smokey Yunick would have to say about nascar these days. If you haven’t read his book do so. There was no love lost between him and Bill France Sr.
