Last week, Wallace wore a Black Lives Matter-themed shirt during a pre-race ceremony in Atlanta, then called on NASCAR to eliminate Confederate battle flags from all of its race tracks.on Monday. "No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race."
The flag — which was used by the Confederate States of America before its downfall in 1865 — has "served as a potent symbol of slavery and white supremacy, which has caused it to be very popular among white supremacists," according to theRELATED VIDEO: Dwayne Johnson Asks 'Where Is Our Leader?' in Passionate Video Supporting Black Lives Matter
"It starts with Confederate flags," Wallace continued. "Get them out of here. They have no place for them. The narrative on that before is I wasn't bothered by it, but I don't speak for everybody else. I speak for myself. What I am chasing is checkered flags, and that was kind of my narrative.", NASCAR has disallowed the use of the battle flag in "any official" capacity but fans are not prohibited from displaying the symbol at their events.
