NASCAR's Ray Ciccarelli Quitting Over Confederate Flag Ban

One of the biggest losers in NASCAR is proving to be one away from the track as well.

On Wednesday, NASCAR Truck Series driver Ray Ciccarelli announced in a since-deleted Facebook post that he will be quitting racing at the end of the season after the sport announced it would ban Confederate flags at its races and venues.

“Well its been a fun ride and dream come true but if this is the direction Nascar is headed we will not participate after the 2020 season is over,” Ciccarelli wrote on Facebook. “I don’t believe in kneeling during Anthem nor taken ppl right to fly whatever flag they love. I could care less about the Confederate Flag but there are ppl that do and it doesn’t make them a racist all you are doing is f–king one group to cater to another.”

Suffice to say, it doesn’t sound as if Ciccarelli, who has never won a race during his four-year career, will be missed.

NASCAR Truck series is going to have to find someone else to finish 28th each week because Ray Ciccarelli is done with this racial equality BS.

Ray Ciccarelli (0-31 in his career) has announced his retirement from NASCAR due to their decision to ban confederate flags. NASCAR is scrambling to find someone else to regularly finish 28th.

It's no surprise. Ciccarelli has never been good at anything race-related.

NASCAR driver Ray Ciccarelli is quitting NASCAR because his favorite symbol of intolerance is no longer being tolerated. He's a walking stereotype.

NASCAR truck driver Ray Ciccarelli has never even won a race. Like the confederacy, he knows how to quit while he’s behind.
