NASCAR continues its goal to make the sport more inclusive.
This past Sunday, the auto racing league had a virtual performance of the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” as is the tradition of the race.
As racers stood with their hands over their hearts, prepared to salute ‘Old Glory,’ Byrd unbeknownst to those gathered started playing the first 16 beats of the Black national anthem on his keyboard.
One Twitter user remarked at the strides NASCAR has appeared to have taken to make their sport more inclusive for all, saying the racing league went from “events littered with Confederate flags to Lift Every Voice and Sing in 30 days.”
