The Cup Series race at Talladega on Monday was the first at the track and in the state of Alabama since NASCAR banned fans from flying the Confederate flag at tracks on June 10. Some fans protested with Confederate flag outside the track and a group paid for a large flag to be flown by a small plane over the track on Sunday.
“It’s the right for peaceful protests,” Wallace said, when he was asked about the protests. “It’s part of it. But you won’t see them inside of the race tracks where we’re having a good time with the new fans that have purchased their tickets and purchased their favorite driver’s apparel. You won’t see it flying in there. Outside, they’re just going to be making a lot of noise. It’s part of it. It’s exactly what you see on the flip side of everything going on in cities as they peacefully protest. But we won’t see cops pepper-spraying them and shooting them with rubber bullets, will you?”
Wallace’s last line is, of course, a reference to police actions that have been documented across the country in social media posts and news videos during the largely peaceful protests after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. The most infamous example is the violent way that peaceful protesters were cleared out of Lafayette Square near the White House to make way for President Donald Trump to take a picture with a Bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church.
