IndyCar fired the series' flagman Thursday after he posted on Facebook that he was dismayed with NASCAR's recent decision to ban Confederate flags from its events.
"Now is the time for short tracks around the country to pull their NASCAR sanctions for their recent actions towards America. I would not want to be affiliated with a group that doesnt respect what the American flag stands for," Hockaday wrote.
An IndyCar spokeswoman confirmed to NBC News Friday that Hockaday had been fired from his seasonal, part-time position for violating IndyCar's social media policy. According to Hockaday's LinkedIn page, he has worked with IndyCar for more than three years. He was at the helm of the flag stand Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway during the start of the delayed 2020 season.
