...My tires and wheels got stole in Detriot in half that time!!! Good one!
I'm reminded of Danny DeVito in a movie where he's a slumlord ordered by the court to spend time in his own apartment building. He goes outside the next morning and his new Corvette is nothing but a shell - no tires, no wheels, no stereo, no seats, no nothing. But when he approaches the car the alarm goes off!

Shack suggested that race-car organizations don't reach out to minorities because they "don't particularly...want you out there, no more than they wanted Tiger [golfer Tiger Woods] out there." Shack must be an idiot. Tiger Woods is currently the most beloved figure in golf and without question the best golfer in the world right now. If Tiger enters a tournament and doesn't win, it's considered an upset.

A simple question: Why is it incumbent on anyone to "reach out" to anyone else in a free society?

There is a huge difference in White Supremacy and White Participation. If college and pro sports teams had white/black ratios similar to the surrounding populations there would be a lot of black athletes looking for some other pursuit. NASCAR is the only sport where white men can still get a job. I'm not a racist but the more Je$$e Jack$on talks the more I think about buying a Confederate Flag.

"She also expressed hostility for some of NASCAR's fans. "When I watched NASCAR on TV, I saw people holding confederate flags. I am not going to go somewhere where I am seeing confederate flags all the time," Mills said. Yeah Ms. Mills, it's the evil flags fault.
Them flags haven't stopped NASCAR Craftsman truck series driver Bill Lester from getting a ride on his own merit. And those flags aren't going to stop him from moving up to the big leagues next year on the merits of his own talent, not because he bought or whined his way in.
NASCAR made a big mistake caving to the race hustler.
Speaking of shakedowns, I guess CART and IRL are next.

Besides it's hard to run 200 mph on a space-saver spare.

Seems to me a black pit crew would give even Jeff Gordon's team a run for the money. He's in and out in about 14 seconds. My tires and wheels got stole in Detriot in half that time!!! They're good at gettin' the rims off. They just don't have any practice at puttin' 'em back on.

Does this mean NASCAR will have an added attraction called Drive-By? (rhetorical question)

Just great. Maybe Nascar should inact a minority provisional qualifying rule.

Excellent point. From the fan point of view, if a person has no interest in the sport then no amount of outreach will generate that interest. From the racer point of view, it would be disastrous to force an affirmative action quota onto racing teams. There are some jobs that absolutely must be filled based on skill and experience and not skin color or gender--building, maintaining, and driving these tin-can rockets are among those jobs. Anything less will get people on the track and in the stands killed.

The first black driver will get a 10-lap lead from the pole position, while the white guys will have to use 6-cylinder engines. NASCAR should have the gumption to tell Jackson publicly to stuff it - he is the worst thing that ever happened to blacks in the past 25 years. He is a race-baiting, thieving charlatan who has used his blackness as a source of income his entire life.

>> minority provisional qualifying rule <<
See my post 13. I'm telling you, thumping bass, obnoxiously loud stereo, expensive shiney rims, they are the new ticket to a ride around the big track, man. Car won't start, windows won't work, windshield broke but listen to that bass.

This kind of BS makes me freakin' crazy. To Jesse Jackson I would say, that I don't really give a rats posterior just how much pigmentation is in his or anyone else's skin. It amounts to less that squat in the grand scheme of things. It is people like him that continue to beat to death just how much skin color matters in the world today.
The reason that there are so few black fans and even fewer black participants in motorsports is that there is a proportional level of interest in the sport. A number of years ago, Bill Cosby put up money to partially fund a team that did feature a black driver, Willy T. Ribbs. Perhaps double J could cough up some of his dough and do the same thing instead of whining all the time.
I wonder why he does not try his extortion scheme on the NHL, probably not enough dollars in it for him. Whining maggot just needs to shut his pie hole and actually DO SOMETHING.

After NASCAR, the next target will probably be Formula 1, more money in sponsors (and the places you have to go to protest aren't all that bad either).
