    For God's sake. OK.  Sponsor decals, without which there would be no race-car.

  • N. All of the above. ( a race car is a total package and all has to work to be competitive ... although that may not be a NASCAR driver's opinion).

  • One?  Okay ... one.  A sixty-four year old organization that's never had a black driver. That's why I'm not a NASCAR fan.
    So ... N. (another answer)  that one part would be that the other drivers are white.

    Thank you; I've just learned something new today, the part about the black drivers. (I've never followed the sport either.)

    NASCAR says there have been at least seven African American drivers in its series prior to Wallace, including Scott, who raced from 1961-73 in Cup, Willy T. Ribbs, who ran three Cup races in 1986, and Bill Lester, who raced sporadically from 1999 until 2007 at all three national levels (Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Trucks). We should also mention ex-NBA player Brad Daugherty who was a part owner of a team and occasional NASCAR broadcast booth man. Only one Jewish driver.

  • I had read about Bill Lester (not a full-time driver), but the the rest of those weren't mentioned in the report I saw ... which wasn't from NASCAR.  Thank you for this information and right or wrong ... it's not the only reason I'm not a NASCAR fan.

       Can't believe everything you read on the net and I should know better than to talk about something that I don't follow personally.  Sorry to the good ole' boys.

    Having raced motorcycles for 25 years, I can tell you from experience that it is tires, although everything else matters too.

    I agree, you sure are.  There ought to be a registry or something.
