Man I'm in tears that this interview took place. I'm saving this forever. The stories of Earl Brooks protecting Wendell Scott are priceless. I'm black and a proud racing fan. This is special.

@ehss192 2 года назад

Wendell was tough. They don't make them like him anymore. A class act and definitely a role model for anyone 'looking up'.

@sergeantmasson3669 7 месяцев назад

@@wallystewart1979 Same here. I'm proud that I actually got to meet Wendell Scott in my lifetime. IMHO, a true American hero.

Wendell Scott is one of the finest human beings to ever be part of NASCAR. Period.

@brentleyroyals3032 4 года назад

I met Mary Scott at a Winston Cup presentation in Winston Salem and she signed a Wendell Scott cap for me. We talked about so many things about Wendell, the racing and the life led. I can say to this very day I loved that lady like my own mom and I always tried to keep her close in my heart. The Scott family are very wonderful folks and Wendell in the NASCAR Hall of Fame is well deserved.

@FloridaManRacer 4 года назад

This sport in particular needs the Scott family and Bubba Wallace now more than ever in my opinion.

@frankiodeelux3159 4 года назад

Anything but a big thumbs up for this one is beyond belief. What a man, what a driver he was. No major sponsorship and yet he excelled. We all know who the real rookie of the year was in `61 no matter what. A true Champion and Hall Of Famer

@mikeske9777 5 лет назад

God bless the family of Wendell Scott and thanks to them for supporting and cheering on him on. Thank you Kyle for bringing this on and exposing the great person Wendell Scott was. Also a cheer for the underdogs, we need them. How to express this is difficult because of our history in treatment of folks that are not white. Thank god racial relations are more tolerate today then in the past 2 centuries.

I will do you one better. It is one of the best interview shows of any kind, hands down!

@alexismspgaming8260 4 года назад

This, Dale Jr Download, and Michael Waltrip's new show, they all give you a different perspective or things. Truthfully they each take different stories, some almost mythical, and bring them back to earth for you and make you feel them.

@bowtiezr2534 4 года назад

Dale Jr's is better

@Probowler37 4 года назад

I've watched about every interview of Kyle and he has done a fantastic job with these. Michael's show is great too. But Kyle is a natural at this. He goes to great depths with these story lines to get answers.

@irongoatrocky2343 5 лет назад

One has to ask where would NASCAR be without the likes of the Independents like Wendell Scott, JD McDuffie Ralph Earnhardt. or even owners like Junie Donlavy? All were honest working people who shared a love of the sport and tried to make it better the best way they could!

I remember in the early 80's, ( lived outside of Daytona) . If you had a car and 50.000 dollars you could try to get in the Daytona 500. Remember that's for a full week at the track. Miss those days.......

@unionrdr 5 лет назад

I'll never forget watchin' Wendell pulling off the track, jack it up and fix something under the car. Get back in and roar back out there. Other times, I could see the disappointment on his face. I went through all that as a racer myself in my youth. The thrill of victory & the agony of defeat. One weekend your the hero of the day, next time you're a bum. But we still love it with a passion just the same. You are sorely missed, Wendell.

@Kevin_Drone 5 лет назад

Wendell Scott Sr: "A person was a person." Differences are taught. Children do not recognize differences in each other until after they are taught, whether directly or indirectly. Great interview.

@FloridaManRacer 4 года назад

God how we need to remember that more than ever right now.

@MikeBrown-ii3pt 5 лет назад

Even though my heart lies in drag racing, I've been a NASCAR fan since the late 70s. I learned how to build engines helping my uncle in his shop and on dirt ovals in Northwest Ohio. Even at 50 years old, I'm too young to have seen Wendell Scott on the track, however, I've been fascinated by him since seeing the movie with Richard Pryor. I'd love to send a donation to help re-open the museum. How can I contact them?

@ms-iz9ye 11 месяцев назад

@stormytuesday9902 4 года назад

There were a lot of great moments in this interview, but when Kyle learned his dad had sent Wendell a couple of checks after the Talladega wreck, was pretty awesome. Wendell Scott experienced all his racing accomplishments on his own, without a sponsor. How many championships could he have won if he would have had a little financial help? Thanks Kyle for sharing the history. A special thanks to his son and grandson for sharing their history. I am going to check out the Wendell Scott Foundation!

@shanek.barker7610 5 лет назад

Wendell Scott the definition of a racer. If only attitudes of the corporate world was different back then and backed Wendell the history books would read alot differently than what it does now. Wendell Scott could drive like no other and as said in interview here Scott could do more with nothing more so than anyone else imagine the things he would of done with sponsorship money and people having his back.

@tomthomson9354 4 года назад

This has to be one of if not my favorite episode. I have the book written about Wendell. I was always intrigued about the man. Not because of his color, but what made him tick. Prior to reading the book, I only knew he was the first black driver in NASCAR . How he managed to get through those tough times. What made him want to race. If you haven’t read the book, I highly recommend doing so. There is so much more to Wendell Scott than the color of his skin. Great interview! I enjoyed watching

@aarontodd72 5 лет назад

Every time I watch the coffee with Kyle,I think to myself, this is the best one I've seen. And then the next one is better than the last. This was a great one to watch.

@jjmac3561 4 года назад

Fabulous interview, fascinating and informative as well as heart wrenching. So fitting that 43 reached out to help 34 even if it was on the QT. Long overdue getting into the Hall of fame! I hope they manage to get that truck restored to its former glory as a tribute to Wendell Scott and his outstanding efforts to overcome the barriers.

@jamesdellaneve9005 3 года назад

The fact that Wendell wanted to be a good Dad first says it all.

@mr.intensity2685 4 года назад

I watched the Greased Lighting movie before I ever heard anything about Wendell Scott. This was a great interview.

@RadggsAutomotive 2 года назад

Been a fan Wendell for 60+ years, longer than the Petty's. I wondered how much truth was in Greased Lightning; never knew there was Pittsburgh connection. Hey Kyle, you may have a career in broadcasting, you have a gift.

@davidparrish1205 Месяц назад

I never met Wendell. But the first race I ever ran was at The Legendary Danville Speedway. That's where my dad won his first race in the early 90's. I remember on race Mary was the Grand Marshal. Earl Brooks was my cousin. Hos son Earl Brooks Jr built my first race car. Hos other son Ervin still carries on his legacy with a replica of Earl's #26 car. Earl didn't take crap of anyone either. Wendell was a great man.

Wendell Scott was my childhood Hero.There never was, nor will there ever be anyone like him. This has brought tears to this old white mans eyes.

@v12tommy 4 года назад

I love his story. I see so many people my age and younger, who will just sit around and whine about someone else having it better than them. Then you see someone like Wendell Scott. Was it fair that he was treated the way he was treated? Absolutely not. But rather than whine about it, he took the cards he was dealt, and he did great things. We need more people with attitudes like that.

@SGCgleaton 4 года назад

It would be nice if some one could restor the truck for them

@rdstud7464 5 лет назад

Really great interview. Wonder. did France ever correct the out come of the 63 race?

@BobbyPatricca 5 лет назад

I believe it was either a few hours or a couple days later, but yes they corrected it. Story I heard was the race promoter's didn't want Wendell "kissing the white trophy queen". He said "I've got a beautiful wife, I'll kiss her" or something along those lines.

@aarontodd72 5 лет назад

Unfortunately he didn't even get the trophy. But he was at least acknowledged it

@nickdeavers5816 5 лет назад

Yes a couple days later

@fa1509 4 года назад

He did win but nascar didn’t say he won until a few days later because nascar fans treated him badly and back then the blacks weren’t equal like the whites

@larrywt656 5 лет назад

During his racing career, Kyle Petty was known as one of NASCAR's whack jobs. Now he has turned into a Hall of Fame-caliber interviewer.

@jamesscully529 5 лет назад

NASCAR has come a long way but still has a lot to make up for.

@markmark5269 5 лет назад

No they don't, times were the times, that's how it was, you only need to know that they aren't those times now, and are no longer tolerable,. Actual change is far superior, and an acknowledgment that is was wrong, to any apology.

@Konformation07 4 года назад

Indeed it does and it still occurs today in terms of abuse but it is far better today or maybe more subtle. Who knows.... but things are not fine in NASCAR but has improved significantly.

@EasyE3939 4 года назад

@drjohnsonhungwell5115 4 года назад

I'm one of those folks that has a flag that people consider offensive not the Confederate flag but the old Georgia flag , I read that Richard Petty helped him some early on with parts tools and eventually a truck and I enjoyed hearing about Richard Petty helping him get started and showing him acceptance back in those days , I'd like to see NASCAR go back to its roots when you're everyday man could have a race car and it was run what you brought back in the day .
