Statement
from Brian France, NASCAR Chairman & CEO
DAYTONA
BEACH, Fla. (June 27, 2015) –
“NASCAR will maintain its long-standing policy preventing the use of the
Confederate Flag in any official position at our events. In all areas that
NASCAR controls on a given race weekend, the flag has no presence.
“We
have been clear in support of this position throughout our industry and to those
across the country who have called for the eradication of the Confederate Flag.
We will be as aggressive as possible to disassociate NASCAR events from an
offensive and divisive symbol. We are working with the industry right now to
achieve that goal.”
