"There's going to be a lot of angry people that carry those flags proudly but it's time for change," Bubba Wallace said.
1 / 2Darrell"Bubba" Wallace Jr., the only African American driver in NASCAR's top series, called on the stock car racing association to ban Confederate flags at its events.
During warm-up laps, the 40 cars pulled to a stop in front of the empty grandstands and shut off their engines. Afterward, NASCAR President Steve Phelps delivered a message over their radio sets. Wallace and other drivers, such as seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson and retired star Dale Earnhardt Jr., appeared in a video that was broadcast Sunday in which they vowed to"listen and learn" from the protests that have rocked the nation and to"no longer be silent." They also pledged to"work together to make real change." Several drivers posted the video to their social media accounts.
NASCAR, which once embraced Confederate symbols and has roots in the South, has a checkered racial history.
