FILE - In this Sunday, July 29, 2007 file photo, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart and his crew kiss the bricks at the start/finish line after winning the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard auto race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis. On Friday, June 19, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that NASCAR, which recently banned the Confederate flag at its events, is now forcing its drivers to engage in Muslim prayer. Drivers at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway take part in a longstanding tradition called “kissing the bricks.” It was started by driver Dale Jarrett in 1996 after he won the Brickyard 400 race.
