It’s been said the black woman in American society has two strikes against her: being born a woman and being born black. No demographic has been more marginalized, oppressed and subjugated throughout the country’s 239-year history. Which is why Serena Jameka Williams, now beyond any reasonable dispute the greatest ever women’s tennis player after capturing a sixth Wimbledon title and 21st major championship overall on Saturday, is transcending sport into…

Unlike the international, and arguably more sophisticated, appeal of open wheel racing’s Formula 1 and IndyCar series, stock car racing was born on the backs of bootleggers and moonshine makers on the dirt fields and back roads of the rural South.
