If Nascar hadn’t been so keen to take the path of least resistance in the past, its only black driver would never have been forced down his hard road

Last Sunday, during a lull in an otherwise raucous Father’s Day celebration with family at his Danville, Virginia, home, Warrick Scott couldn’t help but think of the man who had set up this scene.

FAKE NEWS already debunked Catch up

Lmao. Motors worth 10000000 of dollars cars worth millions but nobody was on film anywhere huh? Not buying what your selling

wait until the real story comes out

(2/2) NASCAR is doing more to address and tackle our current climate than the NFL and NBA. I would go as far to say that NASCAR has pretty boldly decided to lead the uncomfortable conversations for the sports world. Let’s focus on the present.

Usually a fan of the Guardian, but this misses the mark. NASCAR of present is clearly atoning for the sins of the past. This article also doesn’t mention their Drive for Diversity program which only offers internships to POC and Women for the last 13+ years. Like it or not (1/2)

Obama was president for 8 years. How come he didn't make Juneteenth a holiday? Take the W and shut up.

Every F1 news outlet has run multiple stories with the hed, 'Why do so many people hate Lewis Hamilton?' and still none of them get to the obvious answer because they like to pretend racism doesn't exist outside the US. (The usual answer they come up with is he's 'uppity'.)

This isn’t journalism.

Nothing changes until it does. You know nothing and your take is shit.

Applauding any step forward encourages others who need to move forward to do so. Ridiculing those that move forward for being too late, doesn't send a welcoming message to others contemplating it. Incentives. Learn about them. ...Also ...stay in your own yard.

it's a damn performance based on lies ...

This is positively idiotic

TonyJWriter by_drew someone who doesn’t know that NASCAR is in all caps should probably abstain from writing about it.

Nonsense, change should always be praised. If they don't stick with it, then you can say something.

HSouthwellFE Maybe it may have had a bad past but it is welcome and it is a shame neither Ribbs or Scott is still racing

I will always encourage a company who is taking steps in the right direction. People can change and companies can evolve.

HSouthwellFE What a poor take. First off, this reaffirms my belief that anything that doesn't capitalize all of NASCAR shouldn't be taken seriously. Secondly, such a poorly researched article to not mention the drive for diversity program is just kinda stupid

Lol he pulled a jussie and we are supposed to believe it lol

Yes, let's not focus on the positive.

cynical.

Yeah, don't accept nothing! Hate hate hate! Woohoo! Kill also! Hate accuse hate! The only way to make things better! Hate destroy! Truths aren't true. Hate hate hate. Kill em all! let god do nothing as usual ! He doesn't care so why should we? Hate. My impersonation of people.

It’ll go out of business soon, everybody’s boycotting it.

If you really cared about eliminating 'racism' anyone should be praise for takong steps forward. Please go on fueling the fires though.

When NASCAR lands on India and claims it, you Brits get to chime in. Until then, bugger off.

Garage pulls are racist now?

People starting to change their ways is a good thing. Nascar, unlike many other bland Corporate brands, is actually risking fallout with it's customer base for addressing these issues and definitely DOES deserve credit for doing so

yeah tastes mendacious. Luckily you loose your taste when you get corona.
