According to a tweet from Sports Business Journal’s reporter Adam Stern, “Clothing that is primarily based on the Confederate flag symbol is now banned under NASCAR’s new policy”,
His tweet further added: “NASCAR will enforce the flag policy the same way it does with other prohibited items (like fireworks) — with security sweeps and, if necessary, intervention”.
