Fir every white racists who abandons NASCAR over this, you’ll probably get 1-2 AA families that will check it out now. The teen boy I’m caring for loves fast cars. I was trying to find info about the NASCAR training program mentioned on NPR.

NASCAR is trying to stop the hemorrhaging of fans. I think their ticket sales are way down from only a few years ago. Maybe this will revive a dying sport?

But that's just it.. It IS better. But it's not going to welcome the confederate flag, either. Because, well, it's better.

Well that’s true. It never *has* welcomed the Confederate flag.

And that's what's so delicious about this. Where are the redneck fans gonna go? Boat racing? Drag racing? Totally different experience.

This. I always stayed away because of the undercurrents of the culture.

Do any races take place at publicly owned tracks? If so, could a private entity renting/using public space, impose a restriction like this?

Probably as a term or condition of the ticket

A large Nascar contingent definitely waves the flag of racism and treason. They better actually enforce this.

What’s fun and/or special about racing in circles?
