JOLIET, IL — A civil rights group plans to protest Sunday’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
Terrance Alton Cox III, of Minority Youth Matters Movement, said his group will protest the lack of black NASCAR drivers, as well as police brutality and unjust incarceration.
Cox said “blacks spend $1.3 trillion and there’s only half of a black driver who’s driving all three series.”
“It’s gone on for 68 years and it’s got to stop,” he said.
Cox accused NASCAR of thwarting the careers of young black drivers by interfering with their attempts to secure sponsorships.
Cox said Hashim Nzinga, the chairman of the New Black Panther Party, will also attend the protest and that he will be joined by New Black Panther Party “troops.”
Messages left at telephone numbers listed on the New Black Panther Party’s website were not returned.
Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said a small number from Cox’s group showed up at last year’s NASCAR race. Gregory also said the department was aware of Cox’s plans for Sunday but that he did not know whether Chicagoland Speedway was going to allow the group on its property.

Only a half-black -resident too. So what?
NASCAR might roll over, but don’t look to too many sympathetic NASCAR fans.
Why don’t they ask why there aren’t more whites in basketball or football?
Cox said “blacks spend $1.3 trillion and there’s only half of a black driver who’s driving all three series.”
Blacks spend 1.3 trillion on Nascar?
>>Cox said “blacks spend $1.3 trillion
Yeah, but how much of that do you EARN at WORK? The Chicago Black Folks have a lot more serious problems than who’s driving a race car!
Can’t wait for their demonstrations when the new NBA season starts. Get some of those black the hell off all those teams and replace them with non-blacks. Let’s see . . . blacks are at the most 12% of our population, so let’s cut all NBA teams back to 12% . . . and then go after the NFL.
Can’t wait.
Where are the Hispanic Basketball Players?
I wonder why he said; “half of a black driver”
NASCAR places Bubba Wallace, Brian Scott’s wife on probation
NASCAR has placed driver Darrell Wallace Jr. and Whitney Scott, the wife of XFINITY Series driver Brian Scott, on probation their roles in a post-race altercation following last Saturday night’s XFINITY Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
Nascar is dead to me. When then announced they were going green...that was it. They have also taken away my happy time watching NFL. Pffft.
There was Willy T. Ribbs, won the ‘76 Formula Ford Dunlop Challenge. He competed in the Trans-Am Series, IndyCar, Champ Car, IMSA, and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series, with the result of 0 wins, 0 poles, and 0 top tens. Perhaps he shoulda drove it like he stole it...
1.3 trillion. What a lie. They don’t spend money on Nascar. BLM types? By the way this is the same Nascar fans that booed BJ back in the day.
Even out here where everyone is a redneck, whatever their color or ethnicity, I only know of 1 black guy who is into racing at all-and he is into bikes, not cars. I really think that if a black person wanted to be a NASCAR driver and was good enough to get a sponsor, they would be one-maybe racing just isn’t popular in that group...
I’m sure Brian France will do everything he can to make them feel welcome. He probably feels slighted that his sport doesn’t really lend itself to the opportunity to protest against America. He’ll Probably have them calling the drivers to start their engines. Heck, maybe he will let them line up across the track for a symbolic protest. Lotta white privilege at NASCAR races.
Maybe CVS can sponsor them? Wait, never mind.

By pressing Charges after they STOLE their Car!
This is rich.
And Danica is the only woman. Yet women are 50% of the pop. Curses!
Want more black drivers? Tell blacks to get interested in driving.
My God. Do we really have to put guns to the heads of people so they’ll join up whatever segment it is libs want them to be in?
Oh, great choice picking NFL over NASCAR....!
probably mad at all the NASCAR drivers taking a knee during the national anthem. /s
I'm thinking these Race Baiting Poverty Pimps are not gonna like the "Safe Space" Bubba will put them in.
