NASCAR Driver Ray Ciccarelli To Quit After Season Because Of Confederate Flag Ban

On Wednesday, NASCAR banned the Confederate flag from all of its races. This came on the heels of Bubba Wallace expressing sentiments that he would want to see the flag banned. On Wednesday evening, a different NASCAR driver announced that they would be quitting from NASCAR at the conclusion of the season following the ban.

Ray Ciccarelli announced in a post on his Facebook page, that he has since deleted, that at the conclusion of the 2020 NASCAR, he would be quitting. “Well, it’s been a fun ride and dream come true but if this is the direction NASCAR is headed, we will not participate after 2020 season is over. I don’t believe in kneeling during Anthem nor taken ppl right to fly whatever 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 all you are doing is f—ing one group to cater to another and I ain’t spend the money we are to participate in any political BS!! So everything is for SALE!!”

In four years on NASCAR’s truck series, Ciccarelli has competed in seven races, none this year, and has no career wins.
