NASCAR is nothing but white dude's, and a white girl or two. They let women in before they let any other race(pun) in. That sport is racist!!

Kind of like basketball. Shoot the ball, Shoot the ball, Shoot the ball ...
Or football. Throw the ball, STOP. Run the ball, STOP. Throw the ball, STOP ...
Shall we even mention golf?
At least in hockey they get to fight.

But they let the blacks into all the other sports. NASCAR has their shit on lock down. There ain't no place for foreigners. 8)

They've had a driver break the color barrier.

Pretty sure Buckshot Jones was his name, black dude, nascar driver.

You sure he wasn't there so one of the guys who had one too many Bush beer could eliminate him, like they used to do in the movies to black people? Back in the day Samuel L. Jackson was only known as the black guy.

From what I can remember Willy T. Ribbs was about as redneck as they come. He was a good ol boy. He just happened to be black.

Black people aren't great drivers. Nascar has been trying for years to get one. None that they have tried can compete.

Willy T. Ribbs might just be the best black driver in the history of the planet.

Yep, looks like they can't drive.

Not sure if Juan Pablo Montoya is driving this year.
For a Columbian he would do ok.
I do remember a black guy a few years ago, never won any races.

I watch a lot of motorsports and see few black folks.

Bill Lester

Bill Lester got one Busch Series start in 1999 but didn't land a full-time NASCAR ride right away. Lester started racing full-time in the NASCAR Truck series in 2002.

Bill Lester finally made his first NASCAR Sprint Cup series start in 2006 when Bill Davis put him in a car for the 2006 Golden Corral 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in March.

Bill Lester is currently racing sports cars in the Rolex Grand Am series. There is no word as to Bill Lester's future in NASCAR Sprint Cup racing.

NASCAR wants to encourage more minority involvement in racing. This would help them to reach a huge portion of the population that has not yet embraced the sport. But in over fifty years of racing they have not made much progress.

NASCAR needs to focus more on attracting children to the sport to foster the next generation of NASCAR stars. Much like the efforts to attract women, minority recruitment requires NASCAR to get them hooked while they are young. Youth programs are the key to diversity.

It has been an uphill battle but the cause is worthwhile. Diversity of all kinds in NASCAR would help keep the sport healthy and growing.
