It also included the moving story of Wallace\u2019s cousin, who was shot by police when he reached into his pocket for his cell phone after being asked to keep his hands in the air, as well as a description of the various challenges Wallace faced as he tried to make a name for himself in a sport with few fellow black drivers. Most interesting of all, perhaps, was the interlude about Wendell Scott, the first black driver to win a race in NASCAR\u2019s Grand National Series.<\/p>\n

And despite the evidence to the contrary, Wallace and his family continue to believe that a noose was placed in Wallace\u2019s garage to send a message. In the documentary, Wallace submits that the fifteen FBI agents sent to investigate got it wrong, offering of the knot, \u201cthat took time to do. It\u2019s a noose.\u201d<\/p>\n
