NASCAR is at the center of a heated race issue — after a driver claims he was banned from a Drive for Diversity event for looking too damn white.

In fact, the driver claims NASCAR officials labeled him “the poster boy for the Ku Klux Klan” … even though he’s part Puerto Rican.

According to a federal lawsuit filed by Michael Rodriguez, dude claims his impressive resume got him accepted into the elite D for D program back in 2005 — a program designed to “provide opportunities for female and minority drivers.”
