          Chances are it's an Iranian, Chinese, North Korean or Russian operative. Social media is full of PSYOP from foreign enemies of the United States. Some of it's really easy to spot, some of it less so (the goal).

          Shovel on a little more coal, then when we cross white oak mountain, watch 97 roll!

            I am offended with the way Nascrap treated Kyle Larson than stupid flag bs.I am glad Larson is running on dirt because that is what I love.I do not watch Nascrap now.

              However, regardless of who does/doesn't ban the flag, NASCAR, Lucas Oil, Florence Speedway, I am still going to watch the race and not give a DAM* about a flag. I am not there for a flag, except to see who gets to the checkered one first. And even then, they could change it to purple and yellow and I couldn't care less. I'm not going to let a freakin flag and what it does or doesn't mean keep me from enjoying an event of any kind.

              Also, PSA I have a classic State of Georgia flag with the "confederate" flag as a part of it on my wall in my man cave. I just feel like all this uproar about boycotting things or getting all up in arms about a flag (more so with NASCAR) is just ridiculous.

              I mean I love racetrack corn dogs, but if all racetracks banned corndogs because they're unhealthy (or whatever else) guess what... I'll just eat a hamburger or nachos and go on with my life!
              Well said.

                  If a track banned any shirt with logos including drivers shirts because it might offend someone would you still attend that track? Have to wear plain shirts only.

                    Then they would simply say they are offended by plain white shirts. They keep the game going.
                    If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

                                Yes, if I wanted to go to the race and it was going to be a good one. Why the heck would I not go to a race because of what I had to wear? lol Silly Question. I go for the races. Not for the attire or the flags on the flag pole. I guess I'm not one to go around looking for a reason to be pi$$ed off.
