Nearly two weeks after NASCAR announced its banning of the Confederate flag at all events and properties, fans flew the flag outside Talladega Superspeedway before Sunday's race, which was postponed to Monday due to rain.
Cars displayed the flag on the boulevard outside the track, according to ESPN, while a plane flew above pulling a banner of the Confederate flag that read "Defund NASCAR."
NASCAR finally made the decision to ban the flag from its events after driver Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR's top series, urged NASCAR to get "rid of all Confederate flags" in order to take the next step in the fight against racial injustice.
