In this Oct. 7, 2007, file photo, a Confederate flag flies in the infield as cars come out of Turn 1 during a NASCAR auto race at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala. NASCAR banned the Confederate flag from its races and venues on June 10, 2020, formally severing itself from what for many is a symbol of slavery and racism. (AP Photo/Rob Carr, File)
