No se preoccupe Lorenzo
The writer made this unclear but the intent was to state "the first in the 'Drive For Diversity Program'-not the first in NASCAR History

It's the writer of the article that's confused.

Probably thinks "Hispanic" means via Mexico.

NASCAR's "Drive for Diversity" program has more or less turned into a "White Female" thing, hasn't it? Will Pedregon actually hire an "Hispanic"?
