History was made this past weekend when NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace became the first Black driver to lead a lap at the Daytona 500.
According to NBA.com, at this recent race, NBA legend Michael Jordan entered NASCAR as the first Black principal owner of a full-time Cup Series team in nearly 50 years. Wallace, driving in his first Daytona 500 for Jordan’s team, lead a lap late, which made him the first Black driver to do so before he ended up finishing 17th overall in a race that was won by Michael McDowell.
