Ray Ciccarelli says he will quit NASCAR at the end of the season after the sport announced it would ban Confederate flags at its events.
Ciccarelli, a Truck Series driver, wrote on Facebook it has"been a fun ride and dream come true" but if this is the direction NASCAR is headed, he will not participate after the 2020 season is over.
He said he does not believe in kneeling during the national anthem or"taken people right to fly what ever flag they love." "I could care less about the Confederate Flag but there are ppl that do and it doesn't make them a racist," he said. All NASCAR is doing, he wrote, is"f------ one group to cater to another." He added,"and I ain't spend the money we are to participate in any political BS!!"
