On behalf of our racing organization and all minority motorsports fans across this country, Diversity Motorsports would like to express a sincere thank you to Ms. Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden for their appearance last Sunday at the NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Miami-Homestead. Their participation as the Grand Marshalls of the race had a positive impact, which will be felt through out the motorsports community and the millions of “twilight” racing fans: A new demographic audience if you like.Young and old of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and different beliefs. They have a love for motorsports and are wishing to put an emotional investment in a Racing Team, but are struggling to find one that truly represents them. They are the focus of Diversity Motorsports and specifically our Racing For Education program binding us together through a shared love of motorsports and the absolute necessity to educate our children.
Under the current global economic malaise, the motorsports industry needs to evolve and we genuinely believe that the DMS approach will benefit the industry and through the Racing For Education initiative the very fabric of our future via support of our children’s education. The foundation has been laid. That being said, one of the most significant events that will energize our efforts and boost our progress was Ms.Obama's and Dr.Biden's appearance at the Miami-Homestead Sprint Cup race. They continue to make history and we will be forever in their debt for that special appearance.
