NASCAR and track officials canceled plan

Watson was scheduled they are driving the brilliant orange 1969 Dodge Charger with a parade lap ahead of the March 4 Sprint Cup series race at Phoenix. The car includes a large Confederate flag on its roof, just as it did if this appeared on the show.

"The image of the Confederate flag is just not something that should play the state run role inside our sport even as we continue discount golf clubs to find new fans and earn NASCAR more inclusive," NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said in the statement Friday.

Higdon said hello would have been a joint ping g15 driver decision by officials with NASCAR, the racetrack, and track ownership group International Speedway Corp.

Watson, who recently drove the auto for the Phoenix Open golf tournament, wrote Thursday on Twitter: "Sorry to say @nascar won't permit me to drive The typical Lee in the @PhoenixRaceway !!! #dreamcrushed."

While the flag may not be welcome in the official capacity in NASCAR, issues can be viewed flying from fans' vehicles in racetrack infields, at the same time the Ping G20 Hybrid series has experimented with distance itself from it.

Friday in the Northern Trust Open in La, Watson said the vehicle has only the flag onto it because that's the way it looked on the show.



"It was freezing cold today and in those conditions I find golf a great deal harder. But once it heated up I began to experience somewhat better and gave myself a few chances," said Whiteford.

"I a good eagle about the sixth which kick-started me a bit and solved the problem finish better although I must admit I became disappointed never to finish which has a birdie, the Scot added.

Thongchai Jaidee, essentially the most respected Thai in the field, battled some for his 70 to remain in contention in the 4th-place tie with, amongst others, Welshman Jamie Donaldson, Dane Soren Hansen and Frenchman Gregory Havret, as they mixed five birdies with two bogeys to stay in touch with all the leaders.

"I didn't play and also I did so yesterday," the 13-time Asian Tour winner said afterwards, "but overall it has been an excellent day thinking about the morning issues that we had to experience in.
