The Lotus 38 wasn't an American-built car, but it WAS hugely transformative for the American motorsport scene thanks to its impressive debut win at the 1965 #Indy500 — and part of that is thanks to #NASCAR !
I appreciate the shoutout but so far I have not tracked #Indy500 or #IndyCar stats because every time I've asked about doing so, IndyCar fans have not expressed any interest in it.

To quote one of my favorite songs, "Born to Remember" by Sam Glaser:
"I've been hoping for a rainbow. Some eternal sign. That hate and fear. Will disappear forevermore."
As I wrote earlier this year, #NASCAR has come a long, LONG way in diversity, but it's clear that there is still a long way to go.

I saw a video on Twitter early this morning that honestly made me sick to my stomach. So, I'm resharing my personal #NASCAR experience from when I was just a fan, an National Motorsports Press Association Award Winning story.

That's one of my favorite acoustic cover discoveries of the year, happened completely by accident too:
