In the primarily white, Southern world of NASCAR, black drivers are extremely rare and black-owned teams nearly nonexistent. Yet Leonard T. Miller--son of the black motor racing pioneer Leonard W. Miller--has owned and run Miller Racing for more than 15 years. In 2005, Miller Racing became the first African-American team to win a track championship in NASCAR history, creating new opportunities for black drivers with their victory. In Racing While Black,Miller talks frankly about the realities of NASCAR culture and his dream of changing the way racing fans view skin color.
