NASCAR announced Wednesday afternoon a ban on displays of the Confederate flag at NASCAR events and on NASCAR property.
“The presence of the confederate flag at NASCAR events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors and our industry,” NASCAR said in a prepared statement.
The display of the confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties.”
Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver on NASCAR’s top circuit, on Monday said he thought NASCAR should ban Confederate flags.
“My next step would be to get rid of all Confederate flags,” Wallace told CNN.
