This is major, historic news.

To help put it in perspective:

When the late Wendell Scott became the only black driver ever to win a NASCAR race (an obscure one at that), in 1963, on a dirt track at Jacksonville in 1963, his victory wasn't even announced to the crowd.

Buck Baker, who actually finished two laps behind Scott, was declared the winner on the spot.

Only days later, in a news release, did NASCAR reveal the truth.

Hamilton has the real chance at the driver's championship as well. He has been solid every weekend this season.

It's not really news, it's nothing like Jackie Robinson or Hammer Hank or Tiger Woods. But it's still a great accomplishment that reminds us, that we've come a long way..

I was happy Danica got 3rd this weekend.
