The Virginia Newspaper Project's Fit To Print blog offers an entry on the life of Wendell Scott, the only African American to win a NASCAR sanctioned stock car race. As one writer put it, "Scott was banging fenders...in the segregated South."

The blog entry serves as a tie-in to the upcoming Library of Virginia exhibit, "Teetotalers and Moonshiners: Prohibition in Virginia, Distilled."
