Default First African American to Win a NASCAR event since Wendell Scott in 1963

Buried by the World Series & College Football yesterday: Darrel "Bubba" Wallace Jr. became the first African American driver to win a NASCAR event since Wendell Scott in 1963. Congratulations to a talented young driver.

Purchased this autographed 1:24 diecast after he won the pole at Dover earlier this year. He normally drives the #54 Camping World Truck, but raced the #20 Nationwide car in one race in 2012. He'll be in THE SHOW soon....

Sorta mixed feelings.

The headline should be "great young driver wins first Nascar race"

Until the distinctions stop being made -even for good reasons- there's still a problem.

Must say I'm disappointed by the tepid responses. The Scott & Wallace families probably feel differently. At least Darrell Wallace Jr. was able to stand in victory lane, Wendell's trophy from 1963 was awarded posthumously.
