NASCAR Honors First Start Of Racing Trailblazer Wendell Scott

In honor of the anniversary of African-American racing trailblazer Wendell Scott making his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start, vehicles competing this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway will have a commemorative decal bearing the image of Scott.

Scott made his first start in NASCAR’s premier series on March 4, 1961 at Spartanburg, S.C. On Dec. 1, 1963 in Jacksonville, Fla., Scott became the first African-American to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup event, a distinction he still holds.

To further recognize the occasion this weekend at AMS, Sybil Scott, daughter of the late Scott, will be in attendance as will NASCAR Drive for Diversity competitor Jason Romero.
Romero was last season’s winner of the Wendell Scott Trailblazer Award, given annually to a female or minority driver in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series who personifies excellence on and off the race track.

Milestone starts for Mike & Steve Wallace

Racing is a numbers game for the Wallace family, led by the five members who have competed in NASCAR’s national series. Rusty Wallace started 706 races (winning 55) in that series in addition to running in 42 NASCAR Nationwide Series events.
His brother, Kenny Wallace (#28 Federated Auto Parts Chevy), winner of nine NASCAR Nationwide races, will make his 456th series start Saturday at Las Vegas. Chrissy Wallace made her NASCAR Nationwide debut two weeks ago at Daytona International Speedway.
Also at Las Vegas, two more Wallaces move the beads on the family racing abacus. Mike Wallace (#01 Chevy) will make his 350th NASCAR Nationwide start to supplement his four series victories. He was able to race with his daughter, Chrissy, a second time in national series competition at Daytona.
The father-daughter duo also had done so last October at Talladega Superspeedway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Steve Wallace (#66 5-Hour Energy Toyota) will prepare for his 125th series start.
