Who was the only Black Nascar Driver to Win a Winston Cup race.?

would like to know how many true nascar fans are here. Not these bangwagon jumpers that are filling the sport today but the true fans that know the roots and history of nascar. I know the name of the black driver and were he won. Baseball gets credit for breaking the race barrier. The real truth is Nascar had broke it way before with women and Afro-Americans involved in the sport of nascar.

Wendell Scott, who some believe was born 50 years to late.

He had the talent and considering NASCAR’s diversity push, no doubt he would have a top ride today and could have been the first black champion.

Although that would have been great, his importance to race relations in the South from 1960 on is far more important, because of the influence he had on little white boys like me.

I loved Wendell. Afterall, any man that faced what he faced with such class and grace and wanted to race so bad, he was willing to climb out of the car on pit stops and help change tires was a man that deserved respect.

Although Wendell generally faced the racism by ignoring it, he wasn’t going to be bullied as evidenced by this story.

“Franklin, Wendell’s son, said that it seemed two drivers, Neil Castles and Jack Smith, really had it in for his father. Once Wendell had just set a track record in the time trial when Smith approached and told Scott that his five cars would run through Scott’s Chevrolet when the flag dropped. It turned out though that none of Smith’s cars could keep up with Scott’s car as he finished second in the race to Ned Jarrett. After the race Scott received an apology, but not from Smith. Franklin remembers, “Joe Weatherly came to our pit after the race and he said, “Wendell, I just came to apologize for the rest of those stupid sons of bitches.” After a few run-ins with Smith, Scott decided that he’d had enough. Smith had wrecked Scott at Winston-Salem.

On the pace lap Smith pulled alongside Scott and started pointing at him. Scott whipped out a gun and pointed it at Smith. The Scott’s never had trouble with Jack Smith again.”

Franklin’s memory is littered with on-track incidents he believes were race related. There are some that stand out more than others. At Martinsville, Va., one spring, Franklin said, Bobby Allison spun Wendell several times, but his dad never retaliated – during the race.

“I even put up the on the pit board for him to spin Bobby, but he didn’t do anything. When he came into the pits after the race, he got out of the car, walked over to Bobby’s pits and told him if he ever did that to him again, he’d whip his butt.”

There are several statistics that tell the story of Wendell. During his entire career, his average starting position was 20.4 with an average finish of 15.1 which is the best average pickup of any driver I’ve found so far. Out of 495 races run he had 174 DNF’s and finished on the lead lap one time, when he won at Jacksonville by 2 laps. Through sheer talent as a driver and mechanic, determination to do the best he could, he consistantly was in the Top 15 at the end of the season.

Franklin also recalled a conversation with Richard Petty following a race. The Scott’s towed the race car everywhere they went as they didn’t even have a trailer to haul the car.They often had to sleep in the car as motels that allowed blacks were rare. Mary, his wife, had to cook for everyone because restaurants were the same way, unless they went to the back door.

“I can remember talking to Richard (Petty) one time in California after a race at Riverside. He said, “Franklin, when do you think y’all get home? I told him at the earliest Thursday evening. He told me he would be home that night, that he was on the way to the airport. Richard always felt bad about the way we had to struggle. Before I left he said to me, “You know what makes me mad, is I’ve got all these people working for me and all this money and I’m not running much damn faster than y’all.”

Wendell was proof that championships do not make the man as no better man has ever sat at the wheel of a racecar.
