I haven't personally read the Nascar charter, however I find it hard to believe that there is some clause specifically banning minorities. Nor do I believe there has ever been a sign outside the nascar office reading "negroes need not apply". Therefore, as has been said over and over again in the above posts...."Why?"

Because NASCAR, like 90% of Americans, have heard "The big lie" for so long, they really believe it's true.

Umm....to increase the fan base maybe? NASCAR doesn't give a crap about giving one or two drivers the opportunity to compete. They give a crap about the millions of people who may start buying their and their sponsors' products if those one or two drivers succeed.

It makes perfect economic sense and it's financed privately. As long as they don't change qualifying rules to ensure a "diverse" field, I say it's a smart move.
