In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of black women married to NASCAR drivers. The most notable example is Danica Patrick, who is married to driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Other examples include Erin Crocker, who is married to driver Kasey Kahne, and Angela Ruch, who is married to driver Robby Gordon. While the number of black women married to NASCAR drivers is still relatively small, it is noteworthy because it represents a significant change from the past when such marriages were virtually unheard of.
The reason why this change has occurred is not entirely clear, but one possibility is that it reflects the increasing diversity of NASCAR itself. In recent years, NASCAR has made a concerted effort to appeal to a wider range of fans, including those from minority groups. This may have led more black women to become interested in the sport and ultimately led them to marry drivers. Whatever the reason for this trend, it's clear that it represents a positive step forward for NASCAR in terms of diversity and inclusion.
