1. The sad thing is....

this guy isn't the first black driver in NASCAR history. Apparently, CNN hasn't heard of Wendell Scott or Willy T Ribbs.

[GOPisEvil]

3. A lot you know...there have been black drivers since the 1950s.

Not MANY, mind you...but there have been black drivers throughout NASCAR'S history.

7. Nothing involving NASCAR is history

People drive around in circles and then they stop. No history involved there.

8. History would also be made by me actually watching Nascar

How ya been?

9. No wonder I don't watch NASCAR.

16. I was commenting on...

…NASCAR taking so long to break the color barrier. What is this? The 1950s?

[no name no slogan]

10. Richard Petty supported George Wallace in 1972.

Big suprise, huh?

[Iniquitous Bunny]

11. Jackie Robinson debuted in the majors in what year?

Oh yeah-
1947!!!

Almost 60 years ago. It doesn't speak much of NASCAR that this even has to be news. :(

edit: I guess it really doesn't speak much of CNN. :shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. What, there's a fan without a mullet, isn't chewing tobacco,

speaks at a tenth grade or higher level, has all his teeth, is literate, and isn't married to his sister/cousin?

[DS1]

14. Well, except for the 10th Grade Education

Are there any PETA people there with the "Race cars, not bulls" signs? (or whatever it was they had the other day).
