William "Willy" Theodore Ribbs, Jr. (born January 3, 1955) is a retired American race car driver, racing owner, and sport shooter best known for being the first African-American man to drive in Formula One (1986) and the Indianapolis 500 (1991). Ribbs competed in many forms of auto racing, including the Trans-Am Series, IndyCar, Champ Car, IMSA, and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series.[1] After retiring, he became a sport shooter in the National Sporting Clays Association. Ribbs saw his most success in the Trans-Am Series, winning 17 races while driving for such names as Dan Gurney and Jack Roush.

Ribbs' talent was at times limited by a lack of good equipment, and eclipsed at times by his strong personality. Ribbs won the SCCA Trans-Am race at Portland International Raceway in 1983. Ribbs grew up in San Jose, California as one of five children in a middle-class family. His father William "Bunny" Ribbs, Sr. was a plumbing contractor and amateur sports car racer, and was friends and neighbors with Indy Car driver Joe Leonard. Ribbs was nearly killed at eight years old when an out-of-control car at a race struck him. As a teenager, Ribbs would take his car out in the California mountains at high speeds, frequently stopped by police for reckless driving. Ribbs proceeded to enter a racing school at the age of 21.[6] Following his graduation from high school in 1975, Ribbs moved to Europe to compete. He won the Dunlop Championship in his first year of competition. In 1977, he competed in the Formula Ford Series in England, winning six races in eleven starts. Ribbs returned to the United States in 1978, making his debut in the Formula Atlantic open-wheel series at Long Beach on April 1, finishing 10th after running as high as 4th.

In May 1978, Charlotte Motor Speedway president and race promotor Humpy Wheeler entered Ribbs to drive a NASCAR Winston Cup car in the World 600 (now the Coca-Cola 600) at Charlotte in an effort to attract black fans to his racetrack. Ribbs was partnered with veteran crew chief Harry Hyde.[8] After being initially rejected by track officials due to a lack of stock car experience,[9] and when the Dodge Magnum Ribbs was supposed to drive was committed to another driver,[10] Wheeler set Ribbs up with owner Will Cronkite and a Bud Moore Engineering-built Ford Torino.[11] In addition to missing two practice sessions, his debut in NASCAR was derailed after being arrested for evading police when he drove the wrong way down a one-way street. According to Charlotte Observer reporter Tom Higgins, who suspects the incident to have been a publicity stunt due to Ribbs driving a speedway pace car, Ribbs outran the police before being apprehended in the gymnasium of Queens University of Charlotte.

Cronkite replaced him with future champion Dale Earnhardt. Ribbs returned to the Formula Atlantic series in 1981,[3] winning the pole in the Long Beach Formula Atlantic race in 1982. The following year, Ribbs moved to the SCCA Trans-Am Series, driving Chevrolet Camaros with sponsorship from Budweiser. Ribbs won five races and was honored as Pro Rookie of the Year, while his teammate David Hobbs won the series championship.[3] Ribbs won four races in 1984 driving factory-backed Mercury Capris for Roush Racing. Ribbs' made his first attempt at the Indianapolis 500 in 1985, which ended in controversy when during testing he topped out at 170 miles per hour while other rookie drivers were running laps above 200 miles per hour. Ribbs proceeded to withdraw from the race altogether. The deal had been put together in part by boxing promoter Don King, who Ribbs hired to manage him, with sponsorship from Miller Brewing Company, but with a second hand Cosworth machine from Arie Luyendyk. Ribbs attempted NASCAR again in 1986, running three races in the #30 Red Roof Inns car owned by DiGard Motorsports.

His best finish came at his debut, a 22nd at North Wilkesboro Speedway.[4] Also in 1986, Ribbs became the first black person to drive a Formula One car, when he tested for the Bernie Ecclestone-owned Brabham team at the Autódromo do Estoril, Portugal.[14] Ultimately, Ribbs was not given the drive for the upcoming season. Lewis Hamilton became known as the first and only driver of black heritage to compete in an F1 championship. In 1987, Ribbs began driving Toyota Celicas for Dan Gurney in the IMSA GT Championship, winning four races. Ribbs driving at Laguna Seca in 1991 In 1990, Ribbs joined the CART circuit in a car funded in-part by comedian Bill Cosby.[15] Ribbs had one top-10 event that season. In 1991, he became the first African-American to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.[16] He raced there a second time in 1993.[17] In 1994, he continued in the CART series with the team, finishing in the top 10 at the Michigan International Speedway[18] and New Hampshire International Speedway[19] races.

In 1999, Ribbs raced in an Indy Racing League IndyCar Series event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for McCormack Motorsports as a try-out to join the team full-time in 2000.[20] However he crashed on lap four and finished in 26th and last place. After three top-10s the Trans-Am Series in 2000, Ribbs signed to drive the #8 Dodge Ram for Bobby Hamilton Racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.[21] Driving 23 out of 24 races, Ribbs had a best finish of 13th, and finished 16th in points. In May 2011, Ribbs announced he had formed Willy T. Ribbs Racing to campaign former NASCAR driver Chase Austin in the Firestone Indy Lights' Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which coincided with Ribbs' 20th anniversary of breaking the color barrier at Indy. Ribbs had received criticism for his strong personality during his career, sometimes from other African Americans in auto racing. Black car owner Leonard T. Miller felt Ribbs was not the best representative of the black community due to his outspoken nature.

[1] Ribbs has also spoken negatively about his experience in NASCAR. In May 2006, a newspaper column by Jason Whitlock of Knight-Ridder quoted Ribbs detailing his criticism of NASCAR and his lauding of the Indianapolis 500. Ribbs created controversy by referring to NASCAR as Al-Qaida, "Neckcar", and WWE.[24] His personality and physical stature have been compared to Muhammad Ali. In 1984, during a warm-up session at the SCCA Trans-Am Series season opener at Road Atlanta, Ribbs was fined $1,000 for throwing a punch at fellow driver Bob Lobenberg, after the two drivers made contact on the track.[6] In 1987 following a race at Portland International Raceway, Ribbs was suspended by the International Motor Sports Association for one month after throwing a punch at driver Scott Pruett. Ribbs felt that Pruett had cost him a chance at winning the race. In the Disney Channel cartoon The Proud Family, Penny Proud and her friends attend "Willy T. Ribbs Middle School," where the mascot is the "Racer."
