Copperhead User ID: 16327155 United States 07/02/2015 02:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It ain't gonna be pretty. I know several diehard fans that book hotels months in advanced. Not all NASCAR fans are poor. The ones I know have money and are big spenders in the cities where these events are held. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69640808 Back when I used to go to NASCAR races the wife and I would drop about $1,500 on the weekend between camping, tickets, food, booze and buying things at the track. We stopped going shortly after Brian France and the "Car of Tomorrow". |

c4g3 User ID: 69533942 United States 07/02/2015 03:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A poll taken in my town found that people take the confederate flag more as a symbol of southern pride rather than racism. Quoting: steambath I'm from the north, I have never associated the rebel flag with racism. This whole thing smells bad to me....I don't like it at all. - It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. - The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. - Samuel Adams - "When injustice becomes law resistance becomes duty." - Thomas Jefferson - |
c4g3 User ID: 69533942 United States 07/02/2015 03:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I started boycotting NASCAR in the 90's due to all the commercialization and rule changes. They totally hosed up that sport. - It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. - The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. - Samuel Adams - "When injustice becomes law resistance becomes duty." - Thomas Jefferson - |

Maybe they're trying to develop a fan base that won't be locked up in Fema camps or dead? IDK, but I'm pretty sure that their statement when they banned the flag was "keep your filthy money, haters." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1798434 United States 07/03/2015 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ive been a fan for 25 years, and ive never seen one on ANY car EVER, even in Charlotte. Ive been to almost every race shop, from Yates, Roush, Hendricks, Penske, etc...never saw one set of stars and bars there. Get a confederate flag tattoo if you feel that strongly about it....your whole back. Then go shirtless at a race, they cant take it off of you. Now stop looking for things to complain about, cause almost all of you barely leave your house, let alone travel to a racetrack. Or even buy tickets, so please stop. Want to boycott something? Boycott banks. Start holding your own cash, bury it in the back yard. Then, MAYBE, if enough people do it, you can make a difference. Know how many NASCAR fans are here at GLP? Maybe 6. Move on. |
Epic Beard Guy User ID: 26240425 United States 07/03/2015 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thought they had run off all the fans already. Until this year I hadn't missed a race since the 70s. The rules keep getting worse every year. Now it's all bull-shit, so who cares. I guess I'm already boycotting, just for different reasons.
