Another Full Races Classic on NASCAR,please!!!!
Didn’t Wendell Scott start before him
No he was in the 60s this is before daytona existed
The speedway
Apparently not, wendell was the first full time black cup driver
Here I thought Wendell Scott was nascar’s first black driver. I’ve learned something new today
I thought the same.
@Mykal Norbert I think he was the first full time black cup racer. Sounds like this other guy only raced 1 race but maybe he raced more and maybe there were others.
But you dont tell what year it was
Wonder if you guys will be able find full results for the first nascar race
