The Camco Hitch-Mounted Flagpole Holder # CAM51611 is intended for flying a flag while parked. But based on it's construction it should have no problem handling 65 mile per hour wind.

I believe the challenge would be how to secure the flag to the holder while driving. It has a set screw but in order for it to be effective the flag pole would have to be pretty close to 2 inches in diameter.

You would want to make sure the flag and pole you are using are rated for use while driving. Your local DOT would be a good place to check to see if driving with that large of a flag is legal.
