Wendell Scott was the first African American
inducted in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Throughout the 1960s and 70s,
he poured his heart, soul, and all of his
earnings
into maintaining his own race car.
His son, Frank, remembers what it took for
his father
to cross the finish line at racetracks
throughout the South.
