Is there something missing from this picture?

I know, I know I am doing a topic on NASCAR, but this topic is getting no news. Absolutely nothing and I feel it totally should. NASCAR was once only popular to what is stereotyped as “rednecks” is now the fastest growing sport in America. Its numbers are growing rapidly. People are catching on everywhere, but within the sport there are still a select few invited to participate. NASCAR to this day has still never had a black driver. There have been black drivers in lower circuits but never on the big stage. In the article posted below the NYT exposes NASCAR is its failed attempt to being diversity to the table. It’s funny to watch each side place blame on anyone, but themselves. In reality though everyone knows its NASCAR not stepping up to the plate to get black people involved. They say it’s due to a lack of funding? Please, last year NASCAR took in roughly a billion dollars. You show me where money is lacking. To be involved in NASCAR you have to come from a very wealthy situation and that is really sad. NASCAR and the media can shy away from this situation for as long as they want, but in the end it is only going to end up hurting their bottom line
