Pro golfer Bubba Watson bought himself a “General Lee†Dodge Charger for $110,000 at an auction because he loved it, not because he wanted publicity
Nevertheless, that is exactly what Watson got after being scheduled to drive the ’69 Charger on a parade lap before the March 4 Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix until NASCAR pulled the plug.
Why? Well, NASCAR is worried about the Confederate flag on the roof that made the General Lee famous, believing it would have a negative impact as the sport tries to grow and appeal to different demographics.
“The image of the Confederate flag is not something that should play an official role in our sport as we continue to reach out to new fans and make NASCAR more inclusive,†NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said.

No....and since the left calls all NASCAR fans racist rednecks anyway, they should all show up for that race with a Confederate Flag.
-
That is completely bs, he should have been allowed to make his pass. How in the Hell could a confederate flag be an issue in a redneck sport?? Next it will be the American flag they refuse to allow!
I say ban every non American flag if you are going to ban anything.

Hell no. It's Ole Miss, the school Princeton Review called "The Most Nostalgic for Reagan". Every good southerner needs to visit the Grove on gameday at least once in their lifetime. It is the Mecca of southern culture. Women come out in their best Sunday dress and the men dress up in slacks, dress shirt, and tie. :-)

What a crock of shit.

shame on NASCAR for abandoning their core fans in the interest of political correctness.

I hope someone is sellin' Confederate flags at the race, and lots of fans show up with them and wave them all over the place!!!
I am getting so f'n sick and tired of Politcal Correctness.... :maddernhell:

Well, I watched a good bit of the race on TV and didn't see any flags....but then they were out west and not in the south.
It was shaping up to be a good last lap....but Harvick ran out of gas....and he was still able coast in for second place.

In the NASCAR pool I'm in, I moved up 28 places to 27th place . . . out of 64 in the pool . . . but I had nine more people get more points than I did this week. :argh:

No interest in "political correctness", it's all about the money.

Greed, nothing more than that. Pissing off your base does nothing for you but isolate the people who made you what you are.
That greed is one of the many reasons I no long give a damn about NASCAR.

Sons Boy Scout troop went to a Civil War battle reenactment this past weekend (Friday thru Sunday aft.). They were there to help with parking and then clean up when it was over. He(they all) enjoyed the weekend. Son bought a Confedrate flag, paid $36 for it....I scolded him for spending that much on a flag...until he pulled it out of the bag. Heavy 100% cotton field with bars and stars of similar matrial sewn on. It was not a cheaply made printed flag.
He now has a US flag with 13 stars in a circle, a Marine Corps flag and a Confederate flag on his bedroom wall....we got it all covered... :-)
Oh, and he got a bumpersticker with a confederate flag on it and the words "FIGHTING TERRORISM SINCE 1861"...sorry but I'm not putting that on my pickup.

This is American History. As a Yankee coming from family that fought the south and those family's that sided with them, WTF, this is history. Got to give the South great respect for their bravery and fight for states rights.
Few in the war owned slaves on either side. This was not about race, it was a war of Conservatives against the Liberal North.
I have no problem with the Stars and Bars, as a Yankee the past generations earned respect on both sides.
Head on south and check out the grave yards with thousands of stones with the metal marker of CSA, Americans that fought and died for their rights to to defend their American life style.
Disrespect of the Stars and Bars is what bothers me. The descendants of the brave and loyal South need to be proud of their heritage, their family shed blood and tears on the battle ground for there beliefs at the time.
As a Yankee who lost family in the battles in the North, I have to be proud of the family that split and went south to fight. This had little to do with slavery, few people up here had ever seen a African man or woman, unless they lived in a city or a town that welcomed the Run Aways and hid them.
In the North most of the upheaval was caused by the Pastors of Churches in outlaying towns to put this war as a religious war to free slaves. Whole towns were emptied of men and boys to head south to free people that they had no idea who they were or what they looked like.
TWO sides to every story, both sides the uneducated brought into a war by either political reasons or the Religious groups at the time.
After the war ended neither side gave a crap about the slaves liberated, millions in the north and south were just released to the wild as some do today with unwanted pets. Southern restoration was for the Whites, Northern Carpet Baggier ran for the south to loot what they could find.
Hell of a mess, until the freed slaves got their feet under them and began to open stores and get an education. The North was open to them to become capitalists, own and buy land, go to school and become what ever they could.
The South was more Conservative and had a fear of former slaves perhaps gaining more influence and becoming wealthier then they.
Interesting history in how we became America-----Only when the white administration put a stop to the growing wealth and influence of the ancestors of the slaves did we stop or try to stop the growing affluence of the Blacks by passing the welfare bill that broke the family's apart. Cleaver and sneaky, all society has an under belly and this was the target.
Off subject but the Stars and Bars are as American to me as the Stars and Stripes. Nothing about the flag is raciest to me, just a reminder of past glory for our ancestors lived and died for.

Oh, and by the way lurking moonbats, Bubba thanked his lord and savior. The horror!!!! I expect the DU hate thread to come out tomorrow. ...that is, if any DUmpmonkies follow that cracka ass cracka sport.

I think they could make The Open just as prestigious as the Masters if they held it at St. Andrews every year. If I won the open, somehow winning it there would mean more to me than winning it elsewhere in England.

Think he regrets this now?
