The Wendell Scott Foundation provides youth services, including mentoring, job-skill training, and supportive programs that emphasize Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education. The foundation serves at-risk youth ages 8 to 18. Its flagship "Steer Into STEM" program features STEM exploration activities such as racing simulators, robotics, 3-D printing, and computer programming, along with field trips, tours of STEM facilities, and college and career preparation. Through partnerships with corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies, the foundation has expanded its outreach and secured resources for programming, including a $34 million museum project honoring Wendell Scott's legacy.
Scott has advocated for his grandfather's recognition in motorsports history. Wendell Scott inspired the River Scott character in the Disney Pixar film "Cars 3," and Scott collaborated with Pixar on the character's development to introduce his grandfather's story to new audiences. NASCAR executives presented a custom-built trophy to the Scott family in recognition of Wendell Scott's historic win at Jacksonville Speedway. Scott also accepted the Automotive Hall of Fame induction on his grandfather's behalf, emphasizing the significance of resilience and determination in motorsports.
