Five-time NBA all-star and long-time NASCAR team owner: 'To finally get it done, it is a big deal for a small team.'
“Coach Smith taught us as players, that you have to control your own narrative. You can’t really try to meet expectations that are burdensome. When you start trying to chase other peoples’ expectations of you, that’s when you get way outside of yourself. We know how hard we work and what we’re trying to accomplish.”
When it comes to diversity, Daugherty has stayed within himself, doing what he could to push the envelope while working inside NASCAR. He’s been a guiding light for Black athletes from other sports interested in working on pit crews, many of whom are now going over the wall on the pit road. He’s tried to find sponsorship for talented Black drivers like Bubba Wallace and before him Bill Lester. But, he says, “there were always road blocks.
“I talked with Bubba Wallace when he was with Jack Roush and thought about putting him into my race car and to figure out the funding side of it. I was real interested in that, because I knew he had the interest and the talent, but I didn’t know if I could give him a lot of resources. We needed somebody who had some experience to get us where we wanted to go .
