    Very rare, he has always given Bob and Barb tons of credit for helping him out.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

      One of the best interviews I've ever seen with Scott. Well done.

        I kept waiting on Bob's name to come up, along with Johnny Johnson's. He wore MBC/Hawkeye and J&J more anyone else in the sport.

        I think that is the best post race interview he has ever given. Most of the time it looks like he's watching the bugs buzz around whoevers head, and has a hard time spitting out what he wants to say. It wasn't like that this time.

          With so many possibilities, Miller/Johnson/Sweet, I think he wanted to avoid picking just one so he said his Dad, which is cool. Was a good interview.

            For those of you that missed out on the DoD interview, but have LucasTV, here is a sit-down interview with Scott conducted by Dave Despain. I figure a lot of you might have missed it since it originally aired on MavTV in 2013.

            It is the first in-depth interview I had ever seen with Scott. I was pretty new to the sport at the time. He comes across as a really smart guy. A year or so later I found 4m and was shocked to find out that the guy is really a compete butth0le.

            People talked endlessly about what is killing Super Lates. Maybe if we spent less time tearing down the all-time greats like Scott and Billy Moyer, and spent more time talking about what happens on the track, some of the sport's problems wouldn't be problems. Just an idea.

            I wanted to add that anyone that has ever driven or worked on a race car has to appreciate his work ethic and determination.

              Scott mentioned that he did not think one of his milestone victories had been televised. Which isn't true.
              His 400th career victory came in 2003 at Carolina Speedway in the Xtreme Dirt Car Series event. It was televised on SPEED Channel. I have the VHS tape of it.

                I found a short clip from that race on You Tube. Shame the entire thing is posted. You should put it up there if you can convert it. There are a ton of old races up on You Tube. I watch as many as possible.

                  That clip is actually from my page. I have no idea what equipment I need to do that with.
                  If I had it I could put countless hours of old races on YouTube that I've taped!

                    There was someone in MI years ago that video taped many events under the name Prime Trax I believe.

                      LOL...well go figure. Just that short taste had me hooked. Hopefully someday you can get those races up there. I love watching the old stuff.

                      After I watched your clip, the next thing up was a 100 lap Hav A Tampa race from Cleveland Speedway in 1995. To get it on You Tube the guy recorded his TV using a video camera. The quality isn't very good, but it's definitely worth watching. The race was on Sports South and may have been a live broadcast since all 100 laps are covered.
