  1. Thats Awesome let’s get some federal funds together as well…. To fund people of color to have more race teams. It’s about time Women and minorities get there opportunity to have an equal chance at this sport. Racing is finally waking up. Go Big Guy GO.

  2. While I’m always happy to see more diversity in any sport or endeavor, I have never been a fan of segregated-track (no pun intended) opportunities. I don’t want to be the best woman selected for anything, I want to be the best person. So why isn’t this initiative more about funding training and opportunities for under- and unrepresented group members and encouraging the major teams like Andretti, Ganassi and–yes–Penske to have minority and women drivers? Pull up the driver pages for these teams and you see one woman on the Ganassi page, driving on the electric vehicle team. It’s a start, but a very slow one.
