Joseph Reynolds 'Joie' Ray Jr. (1923-2007) was a pioneering African American open-wheel and stock-car racer. He became the first African American licensed by the American Automobile Association in 1947 and competed primarily in the Midwest across several racing organizations, including AAA and USAC. Despite common misconceptions, he was not the first African American in NASCAR's top series. Ray passed away from pneumonia in 2007, and his legacy was honored posthumously with an induction into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2023.
