Confederate flags were displayed outside Talladega Motor Speedway yesterday before the GEICO 500 NASCAR race was postponed because of rain.

Cars and pickup trucks drove along nearby roads flying the Confederate flag and paraded past the entrance in Lincoln, Alabama. A small plane flew overhead was captured carrying a banner with the flag and the words “Defund NASCAR.”

While NASCAR didn’t acknowledge the Confederate flag yesterday following its decision to ban them, executive vice president Steve O’Donnell appeared to slam the display on Twitter.

Roughly 5,000 fans were allowed in to watch the race at Talladega that was postponed until today (Monday, June 22, 2020). There weren’t any reports of Confederate flags being confiscated or taken down at the track, and NASCAR hasn’t said exactly how it plans to stop the display on track property.

A pickup truck was seen with the flags flying from its back, while a merchandise tent flew them in a display alongside Trump 2020 banners and an American flag.

One of the biggest advocates for NASCAR’s decision to remove the Confederate flag was driver Bubba Wallace, who successfully pushed the sport to do so two weeks ago following the death of George Floyd on May 25. A noose was reportedly found in his garage stall yesterday.

“As my mother told me today, ‘They are just trying to scare you. This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in,” Wallace wrote on Twitter yesterday.
