With no 'dilemma,' Nelly enters NASCAR business BY PETE 1ACOBKLU THE ASSfXIATED PRESS DARLINGTON, S.C. - It s getting hot in NASCAR: Gram my award-winning "artist Nelly will buy into a Craftsman Truck team starting at Darlington Race way soon. The deal to purchase part of Billy Ballew Motorsports- will last the rest of the season, Nelly's representative Michael Warmack told The Associated Press by phone recently. The truck will sport a new paint scheme and fea ture Nelly's Vokal clothing label. ' It will be unveiled in time for the Darlington 200 truck event March 14. "We've kind of been running on stealth mode for the last few weeks." Warmack said. Warmack, who says he'll be the point-man for the Atlanta based Vokal Racing Team, says the group eventually will look for a minority driver. However. War mack says they will continue with Ballew's driver. NASCAR truck veteran Andy Houston, at the I 366-mile super speedway. Warmack said plans came together last month at Daytona International Raceway, and the finishing touches are almost wrapped up. Darlington Raceway spokeswoman Cathy Mock said her office got a call about securi ty and protection for an appear ance by the platinum-selling artist. Warmack was hopeful Nelly, known for the bandage that he has worn on his cheek, would be at NASCAR's oldest super speedway to debut the truck and watch the race. "Nelly is a race fan; he's heen one for a long time." Warmack said. "We're very excited about him becoming a team owner." Nelly, bom Cornell Haynes. released his CD "Nellyville" with the infectious single "Hot in Herre" last year. The hit earned him a Grammy for best male rap solo perform ance. He ajso won for best rap/sung collaboration for "Dilemma." featuring Kelly Rowland. Nelly had a hit with "Ride Wit Me." off the 2<X! 1 Grammy-nominated album "Country Grammar" that includ ed the catchy phrase "Hey. must be the money!" Dora Taylor. NASCAR man ager for diversity affairs, said Nelly, who is black, and his peo ple talked to her about the sport's diversity issues. "They had heard we were good and wanted to find out for themselves." she said. His entrance will continue the advances NASCAR has made in that area. Taylor said. "We want our sport.to look like America." she said. NASCAR's managing direc tor of business communications. Rob Copeland. said Nelly had another reason to join: to win. "They want to compete, and in the end. that's what it's all about." Copeland said. Several prominent blacks have tried - and failed - to make a dent in NASCAR. Julius Erving. Jackie Joyner Kersee and Willy T. Ribbs are among the few blacks who have tried either to drive or to own cars - without much success. ? It has been nearly 40 years J since Wendell Scott became the J first and only black man to win a ? race in NASCAR's top series. ! Taylor is in her second year J trying to change that. There is J only one black driver. Bill Lester ? in the truck series, on NASCAR's J top three circuits. Nelly would certainly intro- < duce stock cars to an audience ? rarely seen in the pits. It's hard to J think of two things more different ? than hip-hop and NASCAR. ? "You have to remember, hip- J hop has become a crossover sen- ? sation." Taylor said. It takes somewhere between i S1.5 million and $3 million to run J a Craftsman Truck team. Nelly is ' spending "enough to go racing a ? few years." Warmack said, but J would not elaborate. "He thinks he can help bring ? more minorities to this sport," J Warmack said. "We're happy we J can be a part of this with ? NASCAR." ! 4 * I ... 1 Nelly ' : Hard workers are part of our electric co-op. : 4 4 Work doesn't seem to fit into a 40-hour week any longer. ?
