NEW YORK -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition
and Dr Pepper will sponsor a NASCAR Weekly Racing Series team this
season featuring a black owner and black driver.
Morty Buckles of Stone Mountain, Ga., will drive a Pontiac for
Philadelphia-based Miller Racing Group, the team said Friday. This
team will race out of Concord, N.C.
In an announcement that was part of the fourth annual Wall
Street Project Conference in New York, the companies said they
would work together to develop minority NASCAR drivers.
The NASCAR Weekly Racing Series consists of about 100 tracks
throughout the country, divided into 10 geographic regions. | |
