NASCAR Rumors: How Track Security Will Enforce Confederate Flag Ban

NASCAR no longer wants the Confederate flag waving anywhere near its races, but, at the end of the day, it will be up to security personnel to enforce the ban.

Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern on Monday offered new insight into NASCAR’s Confederate flag ban, which was announced last week.
