First of all, a NASCAR Race requires a car. I can't think of anyone of any ethnic origin that can run that fast. (: hee,hee!!
The answer would be Wendell Scott back in the day. Bill Lester did last year or the year before & he still drives today in the Truck Series.

Wendell Scott was the first African-American to WIN a NASCAR cup race.
Joie Ray was the first African-American to RUN (by which, I hope you mean "drive") in a NASCAR cup race (Daytona 500, 1952)
Bill Lester is a great driver...but had his first Cup Race in 2006, 54 years after Joie raced in the Daytona 500.
Richard Pryor is a comedian...I don't know what he has to do with NASCAR.

Bill Lester (born February 6, 1961) is the driver of the #15 Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
In 1999, he became the first African-American to run a Busch Series race, when he ran at Watkins Glen in the #8 Dura Lube Chevrolet Monte Carlo owned by Bobby Hillin, Jr.. He started 24th and ran near a top-ten most of the day before an accident relegated him back to 21st. The next season, he made his Craftsman Truck debut at Portland, starting 31st and finishing 24th in the #23 Red Line Oil truck owned by Team 23 Racing. He also competed against Bobby Norfleet in that race, marking the only time in NASCAR two African-Americans have competed in the same race. He ran 5 races the next season in the #4 for Bobby Hamilton Racing, his best finish an eighteenth at Phoenix International Raceway.
Since 1992, he has served as a racing instructor at Infineon Raceway. He now lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Cheryl, and their son William Alexander IV (Alex).
