Greased Lightning

Richard Pryor and Pam Grier star in the true story of Wendell Scott, the first black man to win in the all-white world of United States automobile racing. With verve, guts and never-faltering humor, Scott speeds along a career from taxi driver to unstoppable bootlegger outracing the police for backwoods moonshiners to the automobile racing winner's circle--and to fame for driving like Greased Lightning.
