A Pennsylvania attorney staged a one-man demonstration near the Talladega Superspeedway this morning, burning a combination Confederate battle flag and Nazi flag.

Gene Stilp, shortly after 10 a.m., set ablaze the banners inside an aluminum trashcan as cars passed on Speedway Boulevard. Though there was talk of a counter protest, Stilp, dressed in a gray suit, was mostly watched by members of the media, Alabama State Troopers and Talladega County deputies.

Men in a passing RV, as flames and smoke were visible, yelled, "Don't burn that flag!" and "Go back up North!" but the vehicle continued on.

Stilp, 67, staged a similar protest two weeks ago outside Dover International Speedway in Delaware. He also burned another of the makeshift flags Sept. 22. He said the demonstration was aimed at showing people who don't fly a Confederate flag, but see nothing wrong with it, that the values embodied in it are associated with "racism, slavery, death and white supremacy."

"I want to send a message and make people think," he said. "The people in the middle perhaps don't know what exactly the flag means."

In 2015, NASCAR officials asked fans not to display the Confederate battle flag at races.

Talladega Sheriff Jimmy Kilgore said though there were mentions of a counter protest, none materialized. Stilp, who said he had not previously visited Alabama, said he experienced nothing but cooperation from local authorities.

"They just want to make sure everyone is safe," he said. "I don't want to put anyone in harm's way. I've enjoyed the great people of Alabama, the food, the experience."

Stilp said he plans on making further demonstrations but did not say where.

About 10 a.m., he walked to the corner near the entrance to Talladega Municipal Airport across from Talladega Dirt Track. Carrying his trash can, he reached in and pulled out the combined flag, his voice barely audible over the sound of traffic. Troopers continued to direct cars by while he gave a short speech. Then, he knelt in solidarity to NFL players who kneel during the playing of the National Anthem.

Stilp said both banners represent "value systems that are totally misguided," then set fire to them.

With 10 minutes, the demonstration was over.
