NASCAR Fans Divided After The Sport Changes The Name Of Its “Drive For Diversity” Program: “Pathetic”
By Aaron Ryan| Whiskey Riff Verified NASCAR’s “Drive for Diversity” program is getting a name change. The racing series first established Drive for Diversity back in 2004 as a developmental program aimed at attracting more female and minority drivers to the sport. Since 2009, NASCAR has partnered with Rev Racing to train drivers and selected for the program and field cars for them in lower racing series’ like the Whelen All-American Series and the K&N Pro Series in hopes of getting them into NASCAR.
