When i was a kid watching Greased Lightning starring Richard Pryor as Wendell Scott the scene where he got cheated out of a win, got wrecked and they wouldn't even give him gas money to get home it absolutely broke my little heart and unfortunately I learned about Racism that day, this mans story needs to be retold and by some weird coincidence there exists an actor that looks almost exactly like him.
A true inspiration, even when he didn't have the money or the support needed. I'm sorry it took so long but I'm so glad that he's getting the recognition he deserves as a racer and a trailblazer.
Wendell Scott was and should always be remembered as a Hero, He raced with so many disadvantages from lesser cars and parts to dealing with constant racism to having to fix the car on his own yet he never made any excuses or gave up he continued to race and compete because thats what he loved and hw won a race in Nascars cup series thru all that adversity Thank you Wendell Scott you will always be remembered for your acomplishments!
Its about effing time he got the award. The sad part is he never got the trophy from Buck Baker that Baker stole even when Baker knew Wendell beat him. The Baker family was rotten to the core. Even his son Buddy a NascaR racer in his own right didn't fix it.
Too bad somebody didn't invest in Wendell Scott and his great driving he would have many wins in good equipment, you couldn't have ask for a better man I'd bet behind the wheel, he would have run the team with the financial backing and would have won with it, a hard worker and obviously a good person to boot.
Watch all 3 video on Wendell today wow what a man super dad just think if he had the equipment like all the other competitions had he could have been champion many times over.
Wendell Scott forever a great driver who raced with heart and never quit. He ran with the Best of the best in stock car racing with a low budget. Picture of Wendell had the sponsorship was on his side he would have dominated nascar. I was privileged as a young man to see Wendell race 34 tribute car sits on my shelf
Wendell didn't get to see it.. So sad
its about time

It's a shame it took this long for him to get in
Love the fact that he had the respect from the other drivers before NASCAR finally woke up!
I wish every American would watch this. Very inspirational for all.

My top 3 favourite racing drivers, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda and Wendell Scot
Men don't live for forever , but legends never die - somebody better than I.

Rest in Power Wendell Scott. The walls are definitely coming down
I’m so glad Nascar inducted Mr. Scott. The Scott’s seem like a fine family!
Frank Scott looks so much like his dad
Giving a trophy and then giving awards to a man that has passed is shameful.
