ATLANTA -- Bill Lester will pilot the No. 23 Nextel Cup entry for Bill Davis Racing at Atlanta. He'll be the first black driver to attempt to qualify for a Cup Series race in 20 years.   (Nascar.com)

I hope Lester does qualify and runs well in the cup race.  I admire NASCAR’s commitment to diversity and companies like Waste Management and Bill Davis racing who are very supportive and committed to Bill Lester.

Lets Go Racing Bill!
