I Began Racing Circle Track Stock Cars When I Was Just 14, My Father Knew About This and Supported My Efforts, As Long As My Mother Didn’T Find Out
I began racing circle track stock cars when I was just 14, my Father knew about this and supported my efforts, as long as my Mother didn’t find out. (She never did lol) My Dad introduced me to everyone that he could as it related to racing. In 1979, just 2 years after Richard prior portrayed the character of Wendell Scott in the movie “Greased Lightning” my Dad and I found ourselves in Danville Virginia looking for race car parts. It was on this trip to Danville that I was fortunate enough to meet and become friends with Wendell Scott, and the entire Scott family. Wendell was a man who had experienced firsthand, the harshness of discrimination. I remember the first day that we met Wendell Scott, he left what he was doing at his auto repair business, put us in his old Cadillac, and took us on a tour of Danville. Wendell showed us the routes he used to outrun the Police back in the 40’s & 50’s when he ran moonshine. He showed me where the train wreck of old 97 happened, and other various points of interest around Danville. Wendell still had most of his old vintage race cars stored in his back lot, it was like touching history. We had lunch together and afterward we went to his home where we met Mary (his wife), and Sybil, (one of his youngest daughters). I grew up in a home where everyone was welcome. My mother and Father taught us to treat people the way we wanted them to treat us, and they showed us by example.

Final Project Paper
Schneider 1 Gordon College Seek the Truth: How NASCAR and the Media Mishandled the Talladega Noose Investigation Benjamin Schneider Dr. Gardner COM 491 2 December 2020 Schneider 2 Sonja K. Foss’ book Rhetorical Criticism outlines several different methods of application for media criticism. While all of these methods have their own merits to them, Foss acknowledges that the best way to engage in rhetorical criticism, particularly for “seasoned rhetorical critics” (411), is through no single formal method of criticism. This method is called “generative criticism,” where the writer builds a more general explanation of the artifact rather than following a previously developed method of criticism. This project will employ generative criticism to analyze the events that led up to the noose investigation in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in June 2020, how both mainstream and alternative media covered the story, how almost every single outlet and media member got some part of the story wrong (whether it be entirely through their own negligence or with the help of a hastily released statement by NASCAR the night of the original report), and how the failure to get the story right proved detrimental to NASCAR, the credibility of the media, and, through no fault of his own, the public reputation Wallace himself. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police while being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. Video showed officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, while Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe” before succumbing to the brutality (Brooks).

A “SOUTHERN TRADITION?”: STOCKCAR RACING AS CONTEXTUAL TRADITION by Patrick A. Lindsay A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan July 2006 A “SOUTHERN TRADITION?”: STOCKCAR RACING AS CONTEXTUAL TRADITION Patrick Lindsay, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2006 A large number of academics who have examined stockcar racing have concluded that stockcar racing is a “Southern tradition.” While the implicit definitions of tradition may vary, many generally agree that there is a clear historical relationship between stock car racing and the South. It is my contention that the idea that stockcar racing is a “Southern” tradition does not represent the reality of stockcar racing fandom for many people outside of the South. I assert that stock car racing is instead a “contextual tradition”, a practice that became labeled a tradition through specific historical and cultural circumstances.

Wendell Oliver Scott, Born August 29, 1921 in the “Crooktown” Section of Danville, Virginia, Was a Remarkable Man and Accomplished Many Feats
Wendell Scott 1921-1990 Wendell Oliver Scott, born August 29, 1921 in the “Crooktown” section of Danville, Virginia, was a remarkable man and accomplished many feats. Scott was the first, and remains the only, African-American to compete in and own a NASCAR team. Wendell Scott began his career, as did many drivers of the era, off the track. He gained seat time driving a taxi in Danville as fast as it could go, and hauled moonshine whiskey at night. Scott accumulated 13 speeding tickets in his taxi, which caused him to lose his chauffeurs license. Hauling bootleg was exciting to him; he could buy liquor for 55 cents a pint and sell it for twice that amount, plus he had practice racing from the police and leaving them in a cloud of dust. He often bragged about how he could out run the police, for instance getting so far ahead and hiding in the shadows of the night until the police would come flying by. He was not always lucky though, and once was caught and placed on probation. In 1949, a race promoter for the Danville Fairgrounds, in a quest to increase attendance for the track, was seeking an African-American to race. He went to the Danville police station to obtain a name, where the police promptly referred him to Wendell Scott. The promoter made Scott an offer, and he agreed with much enthusiasm. Scott used to watch the races with a friend and would often say, if given the chance, he would race. Scott raced in the modified and sportsman division early in his career on dirt tracks in places such as Staunton, Lynchburg, Waynesboro, Roanoke, Zion’s Crossroads, Ruckersville, and Natural Bridge in Virginia, and Hagerstown in Maryland.

Going National While Staying Southern: Stock Car Racing in America, 1949-1979
GOING NATIONAL WHILE STAYING SOUTHERN: STOCK CAR RACING IN AMERICA, 1949-1979 A Dissertation Presented to The Academic Faculty By Ben A. Shackleford In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the History and Sociology of Science and Technology Georgia Institute of Technology December, 2004 GOING NATIONAL WHILE STAYING SOUTHERN: STOCK CAR RACING IN AMERICA, 1949-1979 Approved By Dr. Steven Usselman Dr. Gus Giebelhause Dr. Doug Flamming Dr. Philip Scranton Dr. William Winders Date Approved 22 July 2004 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A work of this scope inevitably draws upon resources outside the individual author. Luckily I have been able to draw upon many interested and willing librarians and archivists while conducting research for this project. I would like to thank Rebecca Lynch, Roger White, Maggie Dennis, Joyce Bedi, at the Smithsonian Institution. Buz McKim at the ISC archives, Betty Carlan at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, the Staff of the National Automotive History Collection at the Detroit Public Library, and Bonnie Walworth at the Ford Motor Company archives in Dearborn, Michigan. I would also like to thank the Lemelson Center, the Atlanta History Center, the Riddle Foundation and the School of History, Technology and Society at Georgia Tech whose generosity permitted me to work in such a variety of collections. Studying the history of technology often requires technical expertise beyond that available in the classroom. During my experience as a racing mechanic and fabricator I was fortunate to have many very capable teachers who willingly shared their expertise. Among these are my Robert Wagner, Smokey Yunick, Chris Brown, Amos Johnson, Thomas Blam and Franz Blam.

Drivers intentionally bump one another as they fight their way to the front of the pack.
