1. The sad thing is....
this guy isn't the first black driver in NASCAR history. Apparently, CNN hasn't heard of Wendell Scott or Willy T Ribbs.

3. A lot you know...there have been black drivers since the 1950s.
Not MANY, mind you...but there have been black drivers throughout NASCAR'S history.

7. Nothing involving NASCAR is history
People drive around in circles and then they stop. No history involved there.

11. Jackie Robinson debuted in the majors in what year?
Edited on Sun Mar-19-06 02:28 PM by Iniquitous Bunny
Oh yeah-
1947!!!

Almost 60 years ago. It doesn't speak much of NASCAR that this even has to be news. :(

edit: I guess it really doesn't speak much of CNN. :shrug:
