(Yahoo Sports) The Confederate flag isn’t as prominent at NASCAR races as it used to be.
Though NASCAR has taken steps to help phase it out — it does not allow the use of the flag in any official capacity and started encouraging fans to stop bringing them to races in 2015 — some fans still bring the Confederate flag with them to the track.
In the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody late last month, which has not only sparked massive protests across the country but also a much larger conversation about race and racism in the United States, it may be time for NASCAR to take a harder stance.
