More unsung black history. He ran junkyard parts against factory-stock cars and won. Very inspiring story.

Wendell Oliver Scott (August 29, 1921 – December 23, 1990) "American stock car racing driver. He was the first African-American driver in NASCAR, and the first African-American to win a race in the Grand National Series, NASCAR's highest level. Scott began his racing career in local circuits and attained his NASCAR license in around 1953, making him the first African-American ever to compete in NASCAR. He debuted in the Grand National Series on March 4, 1961, in Spartanburg, South Carolina. On December 1, 1963, he won a Grand National Series race at Speedway Park in Jacksonville, Florida, becoming the first black driver to win a race at NASCAR's premier level. Scott's career was repeatedly affected by racial prejudice and problems with top-level NASCAR officials. However, his determined struggle as an underdog won him thousands of white fans and many friends and admirers among his fellow racers.He was posthumously inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2015." #blackhistory365 #blackracecardriver #blackhistory #wendellscott #bhm #blackhistorymonthchallenge #blackhistorymonth #africanamericanhistory #blackhistoryisamericanhistory
