Video: NASCAR Fans Fly Confederate Flags Regardless of New Policy

Fact checked

NASCAR fans defied the racing companies request to no longer fly the confederate flag by doing just that – as the flag was spotted appearing quite often all over the audience infield stands.

According to Breitbart [1]

At NASCAR’s first race in the South since the racing series and its tracks urged fans to no longer wave the banner, dozens of Confederate flags were scattered throughout the vast infield.

The first motorhome inside the Turn 4 tunnel has one flying high above it, and it doesn’t take long to reach double figures when counting them on a stroll through the infield. They’re on clothing, coolers and cars, and even tattooed on skin.

NASCAR took a stance on the Confederate flag after last month’s South Carolina church massacre. The series stopped short of banning fans from displaying the flag at its events, but Daytona and 29 other tracks asked fans to refrain from flying them.

Not everyone obliged.
