The infield and grandstands will look very different at NASCAR races after the sport announced it has banned the presence of the Confederate flag at all events.
"The display of the confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties," the statement continued.
Wallace, who ran Wednesday's race at Martinsville for Richard Petty Motorsports in a Black Lives Matter paint scheme for the 43 car, has been outspoken on racial issues in the sport. NASCAR returned to action last month, but will not allow the general public to attend races until June 21 at Talladega, Alabama. There will be 5,000 fans allowed to attend the race; they will be required to maintain social distancing and wear face coverings.
A Confederate flag flies in the infield before a NASCAR Xfinity auto race at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, S.C., Sept. 5, 2015.The flag, also known as"stars and bars," was used by the Confederacy after seceding from the Union in 1861 -- prompting the Civil War -- in a bid to uphold slavery. Most arguments defending the flag, whether it be at sporting events or in state Capitols, have centered on it being about Southern pride as opposed to its Civil War ancestry.
