Drive for Diversity Combine gets underway:

More than a dozen drivers took to the track Monday as the fifth annual Drive for Diversity Combine presented by Sunoco got underway. The two-day event, sponsored by NASCAR, is designed to showcase the sport’s top minority and female drivers in front of NASCAR car owners. Twenty-five drivers will take part in on-track testing, off-track media training and evaluations. They are competing for 14 rides – 10 in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series and four in the NASCAR Camping World Series.(NASCAR PR), for more information on the event and participants see my driver development page.(10-14-2008)
