| Screw nascar!!!!!!!!!!!! They can go to hell as far as I am concerned. I will NEVER even watch another race much less give them an of my money.
I will fly mine when and where I want. My ancestors fought for the Confederacy and I am proud of it. It looks like we need another war myself. The government is doing the same thing they did to start the civil war in the first place. They are trying to tell the states what they can and can not do. | |

| NASCAR Bans The 'General Lee' From Phoenix Race Due To Confederate Flag by Jeff Gluck • Feb 17, 2012 1:01 PM EST
Last month, PGA golfer Bubba Watson purchased his dream car – the famed "General Lee" of Dukes of Hazzard fame – for $110,000 at the Barrett-Jackson automobile auction.
Phoenix International Raceway officials then invited Watson -- a close friend of NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin -- to be an honorary race official and take a lap in his new ride prior to the upcoming Sprint Cup Series race at the track.
But NASCAR caught wind of the arrangement this week and nixed the whole idea on grounds the car could be considered offensive.
The General Lee, which was driven by the Duke boys in the early 1980s TV series, is named for Confederate general Robert E. Lee and has a Confederate flag on the roof.
While that may have been acceptable in the old NASCAR, the new NASCAR is much more image-conscious and doesn't want to exclude any of its fans.
NASCAR's view is having the General Lee parade around the track before one of its races could be construed as condoning a symbol of racism.
Watson's view, though, is pure disappointment:

| What Japanese cars? The only car represented in NASCAR that is built in the USA is the Toyota Camry. The others are built in Canada and Mexico. | |
