To date, the program’s success has been minimal, at best Nevertheless, pioneers such as Richard Bowdry, along with his mentors and comrades, have greatly helped to lead the way to diversity in a sport traditionally defined by a “certain culture: white Southerners” In fact, Bowdry, despite all odds, was able to successfully break through these barriers and in so doing, he has inspired many with his commitment and passion and paved the way for a new generation of race car drivers.
