NASCAR on Wednesday said it is banning the display of the Confederate flag at all events and properties of the auto racing giant.
The decision comes more than two weeks after a black man, George Floyd, died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
The incident ignited protests nationwide, and demands that symbols of the Confederacy be removed from public places.
