And it’s Fantastic News, even if NASCAR’s moved
onto the Next race…
Nah, I’m Not talkin’ about Mr. Boogity-Boogity-Boogity’,
aka ‘Ol DW’, or simply known as Darrell Waltrip. And certainly Ain’t even remotely
thinking ‘bout his brother Mikey Aw Shucks! Waltrip, FOX Sports Court Jester!
Nor am I referring to those other Wallace Brothers, i.e. Kenny and Mike…
Nope, I was pleasantly surprised when perusing
my NFB Newsline for The Blind telephone service late Monday evening (October 4th)
to Hear the News that Darrell Wallace had won the rain shortened Talladega
NASCAR race!
As I really enjoyed ESPN’s ryan McGee’s article
completely explaining how this was a moment of Joy! And that Wallace, who’s
nickname is Bubba Doesn’t have Any time for any of the Detractors or Social
Media Trolls, nor the former President of the United States!
Hmm, isn’t that Strange how that Ex-President
only had Eyes for Berating Black Athletes like Colin Kaepernick and Darrell
Wallace?
But Darrell was simply celebrating his maiden
NASCAR race victory instead! And that Wallace’s motto is Love should Always
Stand Above Hate!
As McGee was the first to inform Mwah that his
Full Name is William Darrell Wallace, Jr. who just so happened to be giving
himself an early Birthday present, since he turned 28 years old this past
October 8th.
And I find it overly Rich that it occurred in
the Deep South at Talladega No less, since Wallace was instrumental in getting
the Confederate Flag Finally Banned from NASCAR, Yeehaw!
Since I’m not a Roundy-Round RASSCAR’ Fan, I
didn’t have Thy Telie’ switched on to witness the History making moment, as make
No mistake, Wallace Drove his way to the lead before the race was curtailed due
to rain!
And it’s somewhat Shocking to learn that it’s
been 2,040 races since Wendell Scott became the first African American to win a
NASCAR race Wayback in 1963! Although it took a few months to actually declare
him the winner of the race, solely due to Racial Segregation.
For which I’m Not overly impressed over how
NASCAR managed to Drag it’s Heels for nearly some 58 years before finally
giving the Scott Family Wendell’s winners Trophy, which apparently the did quietly
some two months ago.
As it’s a Banner year for Black Drivers, since
earlier Myles Rowe, the Rookie Driver of the U.S.F2000 #99 Force Indy racecar
won his maiden Road to Indy Single Seater race at New Jersey Motorsports Park on
August 30th, in the Sunday morning race.
But this is supposed to be All about Darrell
Wallace’s major Stock Car accomplishment! While perhaps one day soon Myles Rowe
can accomplish his own History by becoming the first Black Driver to
win an IndyCar race…
Congratulations Darrell Wallace!
