  • If you only know Willy T. Ribbs by his résumé, then you don’t know Willy T. Some know him as the first African-American to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, others might cite him as a legend of Trans-Am racing, or more recently he might be recognized as the focus of the documentary “Uppity.” What we like to know him for, however, is as one of our favorite storytellers when it comes to tales of, err, his not-shy exploits. There will never be another Willy T., but now there’s a cartoon of him.

    Back in the day, when I first heard his name I thought it was a McDonald's meal of some kind. But I soon learned differently. Thank you for all the hours I spent cheering you on!

    I resisted watching this vid due to his incident in late 1988 ( see below ) but figured I'd give him another chance as this might show the true content of his character. Got to 1:47 and can tell that he hasn't changed, and no I'm not easily offended, I'm out.
    " After a race at Portland, Ore., last year, TV announcer Bruce Jenner was driving Pruett and his girlfriend away from the track when they came upon Ribbs, walking. According to witnesses, Ribbs reached into the car across Jenner trying to punch Pruett but struck his girlfriend, instead. "

      Pruett intentionally wrecked him on orders from Roush...Yeah we all saw Uppity too.
