FILE - In the March 20, 2006, file photo, NASCAR driver Bill Lester puts on his head and neck restraint in his car as he gets ready for a rain-delayed start of the NASCAR Golden Corral 500 auto race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, in Hampton, Ga. On Sunday, June 11, 2017, Darrell Wallace Jr. became just the eighth black driver to race in NASCAR's top Cup series when he started at Pocono Raceway. Lester was rooting for Wallace on Sunday. Lester made two starts in 2006 and was the last black driver to make a Cup start. Lester met Wallace at a Truck race in Kansas a few years ago and had followed his progression through NASCAR.
