Call me a pessimist, but I think Nascar is doing this strictly for good PR. Their fan base has been going down for years because of the redneck factor, and they are just looking to change their image. All business.

Now, I am glad for any culture change in this regard, but I have a hard time believing that they have had such an about face in dealing with these Confederate flag waving goofballs. To me, it's no different than the Goodell apology. Although I personally feel Goodell really meant it, his bosses who he speaks on behalf of (the majority of the owners) don't feel that way.
I agree that it was done for PR reasons, but it is still more than the NFL has done in reforming its approach.
