Darrell Wallace Jr. Black NASCAR Driver
Via The Grio reports:
Darrell Wallace Jr., is set to make history as only the fourth black driver with a full-time ride in a NASCAR series.
Wallace takes the wheel for the Truck Series race Friday at Daytona International Speedway. He is signed with Joe Gibbs Racing and will drive the No. 54 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports.
Wallace joins Wendell Scott, Willy T. Ribbs and Bill Lester as the only full-time black drivers in the 65-year history of NASCAR. Scott, one of the original pioneers, is the only black driver to win a race.
Wallace, the son of a white father and black mother, openly talks of becoming the Tiger Woods of NASCAR. He wants to become a star who can transcend the sport and prove people of all colors can race.
We should all look forward to the days when women and minorities are a common fixture in sports like car racing. Then they won’t get all this attention for simply being the first this and the first that; they’ll be just like the others, judged by their merit as a driver alone with no regard given to the other nonsense.
