Nascar is banning the Confederate battle flag from its events and properties, saying it runs against the stock-car racing circuit’s commitment to make all fans feel comfortable.

“The presence of the confederate flag at Nascar events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors and our industry,” Nascar said on Twitter.
