Diversity Motorsports LLC in an unsanctioned NASCAR team currently involved with ongoing litigation with NASCAR.

Founded in 2011 Diversity MotorSports has raced in the former NASCAR Nationwide Series. Founding members include Terrance Cox, Adrian Sinden, and Bob Schacht. In 2011, DMS participated in its first sanctioned event, the Subway Firecracker 250 at the Legendary Daytona Speedway. This race was under the banner of Racing for Education with accomplished driver Mike Bliss. It was a historical launch as DMS sought to have the first African American driver in the Cup Series in over 20 years. DMS began promotion of African American drivers, and ownership of fully sanctioned NASCAR teams. This began with the promotion of Matthew Murphy a promising young driver. In addition to the promotion of Matthew Murphy, DMS successfully sponsored and promoted other racing teams which highlighted their diversity endeavours.

The lawsuit alleges that NASCAR implored racially driven practices to prevent Diversity Motorsports from receiving sponsorship from several organizations and individuals.
