This man is a definite inspiration to young men that aspire to participate in the sport of automobile racing...He is a part of African- American history ie the Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskege Airmen, Old Negro League and more that is ,often, lost, forgotten or simply not mentioned.
This is a movie that is more than a comedy, it is a movie based on the life of Wendell Scott. It gives you some idea of how difficult it was for minorities to enter a predominately white sport. Everyone should see it for its entertainment value, and because it reflects on a part of American history.
i feel that Richard Pryor does a great job of telling Wendell Scott's story.this is a film that shows another side of the genius that is Richard Pryor.dealing with the Racism on the Race Car circuit.also Pam Grier gives a good performance as well.
