I think there is a race car driver in that top 100 list.

I'll just bet...
(and I am not looking for an argument) there are no motorports people in that bunch. There should be. Young James Stewart Jr., the brightest star in dirt bike racing has come up through the ranks and won the hearts of the motocross community. What makes him so infuential? He is the first black man to really do well on a national level in the sport. There is no diversity program in motocross that I know of so James is already a 125cc champion on his own. He is also a natural, a ham, people love him wherever he goes. In fact, if you listen to the community, the least mentioned fact is his race, the most mentioned is his racing. His is a gifted ambassador for our sport and the most talented rider to come along, and that is saying something. My guess is he will influence blacks to enter the sport and the sport will be better for it. Again, in my defense, I haven't seen the whole list so I could be just blowing hot air.
