Scott story will bring mix of emotions

It told how many white fans and drivers supported him in a time when the country was in upheaval over the civil rights movement.
"If it had not been for white people, we would not have had our career," Wendell Scott Jr. said after the film.
One of the more dramatic moments was a shot of Scott alone, in the dark, in Victory Lane long after most had left the Jacksonville track. There are tears running down his face as the track owner and a NASCAR official admit there was a scoring error and give him the first-place prize money.
When Scott asks about the trophy, he is told in a less than respectful tone it is long gone with Baker.
The film ends with the track finally returning the trophy -- albeit a duplicate and not the original that Scott deserved -- to the family of its rightful owner last October. It ends with the family, led by Scott's wife Mary, placing it on Wendell's Danville, Va., grave.
Forty-seven years later.
Another reminder of how slow diversity growth has been.
