Description
Wendell Scott joined NASCAR during the 1950s, when segregation became an inflamed issue across America. NASCAR head Bill France Sr. promised to back up Scott, who remained true to his dream of professional racing despite personal setbacks and vicious prejudice. This inspiring story is part biography and part social and political history.
