Seems more sad that he couldn't have been recognized when he was alive.

+Garry Baker A lil "late." but still Beautiful! I'm elated for his family. :-)

Garry Baker Thank you Sir🙋🏾

you really do not understand Nascar. Wendell had the respect of many way before Woke was ever a word. I am 57 years old and I knew of Wendell Mr. Scott before i was 12 years old. Racers are racers. And Mr. Scott was one of the greatest.

NASCAR has a history of racism and association with the confederate flag. Most drivers never even realized this.

He’s is the greatest driver of his time for what he had against the big top sponsors an drivers just like petty said if only he had a chance to have good equipment he would have a lot of wins an more people would know of him like the pettys Allison’s

@@greeneyejuana6570 I don't fly the confederate flag, but..if you think it represents racism you should go research what the civil war was actually about. Ending slavery was thrown in LATER, the war did not begin because of slavery. It was due to the federal governments overreach.

@@ryanralph7494 Not sure what ridiculous right wing propaganda you believe, but what you're saying is total fiction. There's actually a way to test whether or not the Civil War was about slavery. It involves reading the words that those Confederate leaders used when they wrote their reasons for leaving the United States. I was able to analyze four secession documents written by states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. I tried to find the words "state's rights" in any of them. I tried just about every spelling I could: "states rights," "state rights," "states' rights" or "state's rights." Not a single secession declaration used these words. Now the word "rights" can be found 14 times, and "right" appear 32 times in these four state secession declarations. But in reality, when the word "rights" or "right" is used, it tends to be "the right to own slaves." In fact, the word "slave" can be found 82 times in these four state declarations. At times, the states refer to themselves as "the slave-holding states."

He can't hear you. NASCRAP made sure he died before his induction.

written by someone who promotes a photo of the confederacy. You've clearly missed the point of Wendell Scott's story

That flag you promote had alot to with why he wasn't recognized.

@@michelmassamba2443 You've clearly been brainwashed by 5th grade history on what the civil war was about.

Silas McCarty The confederacy stood behind slavery and wanted to keep it. So it’s not tolerated. That’s like trying to argue Nazi’s meant well even though they exterminating thousands of Jews. Read a book

Silas McCarty I guess he was “brainwashed” by the truth in fifth grade. You’re brainwashed by the lost cause myth promoted by the united daughters of the confederacy.

In all fairness the hall didn't exist till 20 years after he died.

@@elijahadmire8672 You want to talk fairness? How about you win a race and be told your trophy was given to 2nd place because of your color. These KKK members are anything but fair.

Sure his

@@elijahadmire8672 Even worse was his one NASCAR win, the trophy wasn't awarded until after his death. NASCAR also withheld the check for winning that race for 2 weeks after he won it.

It’s a shame white man has to be like that I guess they didn’t go to church back in the early days of nascar

They're all a bunch of Klansmen. I have always stuck to my dirt tracks. So much better racing and comrodery. NASCRAP is garbage

d texas he was the only black guy to get into Nascar on a winning level from 63 to 2015. That's historical. That's worthy.

I see where you are going with your comment and shame on you for thinking this way.

d texas 1 WIN are you fucking stupid this man was a WINNER he did'nt need trophies he had something you don't know anything about......CLASS!!!!!!!!!!

d texas Texas in your profile name, didn't expect anything intelligent to come from your mind & finger tips. Hanging people still legal where your at?

He had "The King" 's respect as well as Junior Johnson's and many others of his era. He deserves our respect and he never wanted special treatment for his race. He was NASCAR's Jackie Robinson and for his character and tenacity alone he deserves this induction. Junior Johnson has said he would never have gotten where Wendell did with the same challenges and equipment that Wendell had. A well-deserved honor!
