This is awesome news. 

It sucks that this has to be a thing, that there has to be organizations to combat homophobia or sexism or anything like that (referencing some of the stories about female drivers getting involved etc)

The guy is a great driver and a snappy dresser. I think this is the first time I've ever seen him without sunglasses on.

Tom is a great guy and a snappy dresser and, yeah, a rare non-glasses shot. I took that in victory lane at Daytona.
