Un loco al volante (1977)
Esta es la historia real de Wendell Scott, el primer piloto afroamericano de NASCAR de Estados Unidos, una vez que regresa de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para encontrar su ciudad natal de la manera en que la dejó. Con el capital inicial para un negocio de taxis, aprende todas las carreteras del condado. Con sus nuevos conocimientos, se presenta una oportunidad con algunas consecuencias difíciles. Después de una invitación al hipódromo local, nace un piloto de carreras. Las fronteras étnicas son parte de la vida cotidiana en la vida americana de la década de 1950. Te conviertes en parte de su lucha por la igualdad, la justicia y el sueño americano.
