This was an initiative that was taken up in February and failed in a vote of 7-1. Today, it passed 8-0. Our county is thinking of following the example (which I support).

NASCAR. Who would have thought?
I am pretty shocked and curious to see what their pro- confederate flag fan base has to say about this. 🤔
A lot of them are fired up. Saying they're quitting/boycotting. They photo shopped his shirt from I CAN'T BREATHE to I CAN'T DRIVE and added a confederate flag underneath. :x
You know I heard the panties bunching when I read that tweet. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Car racing with no battle flags? That’s like milk no cereal to them. Ham no burger. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I knew this was gonna piss them off.

You know what they say, better to be pissed off than pissed on, lol. This ain't their granddaddy's NASCAR.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

Seems they always had an “anti-what the government says” point of view, haven’t they?

Moonshine, not rum.

They who? Shine runners?
Moonshine is most often rum.

Moonshine is any kind of alcohol, usually whisky or rum, that is made in secret to avoid high taxes or outright bans on alcoholic drinks.

Have you talked to anyone who is a Nascar fan and listened to their point of view or are you just assuming the worst about them due to broad generalizations?
How is that assuming the worst about them?

Not caring what the government has to say is quite mild of a description.

Plenty of amazing people had the same point of view so it isn’t an insult.
It's yet another broad generalization of an entire group of people you don't seem to know much about, and really just because others have said it doesn't mean it's not an insult.
That isn’t a broad generalization, that’s a comment on NASCAR’s beginnings as outlaws.

What kicked off NASCAR didn't have anything to do with rum.

Ok, but that is what American History teaches. Or at the very least what the History Channel teaches.

This is my family history. My grandfather and uncles were all moonshiners back then.
