Default Greased Lightnin Why is this not on Blu-Ray Yet?

So this film is both one of my favorite Richard Pryor films of all time, and one of my favorite NASCAR comedy drama films of all time. Sadly WAC, or any other boutique label with a WB deal still hasn't given this film a Blu-Ray release at all, and I don't know why as it's a very historical film that has been forgotten about to time. It's a shame really as Wendell Scott is a legendary historical NASCAR driver that was the very first African American race car driver ever, but literally no Blu-Ray release somehow, which is ridiculous. As Richard Pryor does a phenomenal job playing this legendary driver from NASCAR history.

Anyways, this film is really funny with some very dramatic moments and is essentially the story of Wendell Scott, and how he became such a famous NASCAR driver, and also his life story. It's a shame really as this film was quite important in the 70s as it was one of the few non-blaxploitation films that came out in the 70s alongside films like Car Wash, and Bingo Long and the Traveling Motor All Stars sadly unlike those films this one has been completely forgotten about these days.

So maybe just maybe we'll finally get a Blu-Ray release of this title this year, or next year.
