It was just over a week ago that NASCAR driver Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. declared that the racing series should ban confederate flags from events.
NASCAR did so a day later, and Wallace had a #BlackLivesMatter paint scheme for a race at Martinsville Speedway, a move that resulted in supportive tweets from 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman and LeBron James.
Another supporter was New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who starting tweeting about Wallace and NASCAR’s statement banning confederate flags on June 10. When he was invited to Homstead-Miami Speedway for the Dixie Vodka 400, he accepted and supported Wallace with a shirt and hat.
