Amy Long helping bring in more diversity

Amy Long also seems to be a part of Fox Sports' efforts to create a more diverse reporting cast, making her one of few women who have found a place in the sport and become one of the biggest talking heads in NASCAR right now.

The fact that a woman has risen in similar fashion to that of NASCAR pit reporter Jamie Little is proof of diversity being the future of this sport. Maybe she could even work her way into the booth.
