When it comes to NASCAR maybe there's more to the issue that meets the eye. Not all Families mortgage the ranch in order to race cars?

Like I said, seems unfair.
If there aren't as many white players in basketball, then maybe we need to have a "special" program implemented that aims to get white player percentages up over the next few years. Also, maybe teams should have to invite a white player to try out for the team before thay can draft/sign monority player. Seems fair to me.
