50 Cent Sees 'No Black People' At Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Give NASCAR credit for this, the racing circuit continues to attempt to diversify its fan base.

This year, in a continued effort to show racing fast cars should appeal to more than just its traditionally white fan base, the circuit brought in African American celebrities such as recording artists 50 Cent and T.I. and future Hall of Fame NFL star Ray Lewis to the Daytona 500. It's a long way from the traditional slate of country singers.
Yet even with the best intentions, the intended message may not be getting out.
"Damn, I don't see no black people lol," 50 Cent tweeted Sunday after arriving at Daytona International Speedway.
That was about the last message NASCAR was hoping to have hammered home to 50 Cent's nearly eight million followers.

It's not the sport or the sport fans preventing them but merely their lack of interest in those particular sports.
Haven’t spewed a drink due to laughing in a while. Thanks!

50 Cent seems to have delusions of Grandeur..
may only be worth a Dime.
I recall in 2006 when the NBC Dateline program sent some people in muslim garb to a NASCAR race in Texas, along with a film crew to document the race fans reaction to their presence. They were of course expecting a lynching or at least a beating, but the “rednecks” didn’t give them a second look.
Typical racist. Just sees skin color. What a dope.
Forget NASCAR....plenty of the “brothers” in the pits and the starting line at NHRA drag races.
There would be more black fans at NASCAR events if there were more black drivers. Anyone know why there aren’t any?
ANSWER: They don’t have the balls.
Not many shootings, knifings ,robbing, and rapings there either.
It’s not a strip club, they don’t accept Food Stamp cards.
Thought maybe it was 'cause they couldn't get the steering wheel up high enough?
Who really cares what someone who calls themselves a silly name like 50 Cents says?
Tell it to the pResident. I’m sure he will sign an E.O. to make sure it never happens again.
Don’t worry Half Dollar......NASCAR bringing in no talent Black Crap Hop No Talents like you will keep white folks from going to NASCAR races.
“I’d rather take the wife shopping’’<< You sir are a brave man. I commend you. One of the reasons my wife and I are still together is because we DON’T go shopping together.
Maybe NASCAR needs a low-rider division.
It’s kinda hard to do a drive by at 200 MPH. The wind screws up your aim.
I believe he is also is a Republican who supported Bush. Finally someone who got off the Democrat Plantation.
