(CBS Sports) - NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Kyle Weatherman drove a pro-police scheme car with a large "Back The Blue" hashtag during Saturday's Dixie Vodka 250. The car not only featured the phrase in three places, but also had a large "Blue Lives Matter" flag decal on the hood of the car, with the "Thin Blue Line" running across the side.
This reveal from Mike Harmon Racing, Weatherman’s racing team, came just four days after Cup Series driver Bubba Wallace drove a car which had “Black Lives Matter” in the two of the same spots where Weatherman’s pro-cop slogans resided. The third placement of “Back the Blue” on Weatherman’s car was put in the same spot where Wallace had “Compassion, Love, Understanding.”
Though the tweet mentions that this design is for law enforcement officers (LEO's) and First Responders, the "Thin Blue Line" and its associate, the Blue Lives Matter flag, are more representative of the police than any other group. Officers often display the imagery as a show of solidarity.

Finally something that makes sense, or am not I the elephant in the room
So it begins and the race criers will complain.
Harmon is standing for racism this group is representing our first responders all might not be perfect but the wrong ones will be found out, and the majority are good people trying to protect us all and our country.
No you are not. This elephant is in the room with you. Finally some good sense for sure. Go Trump!
Has anyone heard the rumor they aren't going to be playing the national anthem before the start of the race? I hope that isn't true.
Too late NASCAR. Done with you.
Well you know the police car is going to beat the black lives matter car. It's just what police do.
Too little too late. NASCAR is all done. They alienated 90%+ of their fans.
