I have been loosely following this and really don't
want to get involved but its no secret that NASCAR is
dominated by white males. I would hardly call NASCAR
ethnically diverse nor would I assume that drivers of
other backgrounds are not as good as their NASCAR
counterparts. From what I have read, NASCAR is not
very accepting of other people which seems to make
sense based on the lack of non-white drivers that seem
to dominate the "sport".

my slant, my 2 cents, FWIW
