Sunday April 7th - Irwindale Speedway, Irwindale CA
Scott made his first ASA start!! Scott owes a great deal of thanks to Wade and Greg Stewart of the Screaming Eagle Motorsports team from Four Oaks, NC for giving him this opportunity. They made the deal on Saturday afternoon. The only hot laps Scott got were the 6 parade laps before the green flag dropped. Scott was only able to make 14 laps before he had to pull off for mechanical problems. He started 29th out of 32 cars and finished 28th. He drove the #34 Screaming Eagle Motorsports Pontiac.

Friday April 26 - Madison International Speedway, Oregon WI
We are racing Ryan Ley's number 77 Limited Late Model at Madison on Friday nights. The first night out we are racing his old car because the new one is not done yet. The new race car will be done next week. The first night out was not a great start but did give Scott an opportunity to get use to the track again. There were 18 cars and we timed in 12th. The car had a vibration during practice and time trials. We changed the front brake pads and that took the vibration away. The heat race we started 2nd row outside and finished 4th. The feature we started 2nd row inside and about half way through we had to pull off  because the drive flange broke on the right rear. 

Friday May 3 - Madison International Speedway, Oregon WI
New car was ready and looked awesome. Larry Ley did a nice job on the car. We had to work out a few bugs but overall was a good night.

There was only a 20 lap Feature for Limited Late Models. We started 2nd row inside and were running in second place when something in the car tightened up. We ended up finishing in 8th place. We found that there was a problem with the rear end.

The Feature we started front row inside and fell back to third because the car was not handling. The car started to come around for a couple of laps and Scott was attempting to pass the second place car when a yellow flag came out.

There were a total of 35 cars that timed in for the Limited Late Model show at the Dells. We qualified 9th with a time of 14.492. The top 10 in time made the Feature so we did not have to run the qualifiers or the last chance. We started inside front row and jumped out to an early lead. We led until Todd Otis passed us and ran second until Todd pulled off with problems. We then led the race and were pulling away from the rest of the field when the car just killed. Scott had to pull off and we could not get the car fired back up. As Scott Ley would say "we need to get rid of the black cloud that is hanging over us". We ended up finishing the Feature in 12th place.

Wednesday July 3 - Madison International Speedway, Oregon WI
There were 14 Limited Late Models for the Miller Classic. We were 4th in time with a 19.224. There were no heat races for the Limited Late Models. The Feature we started third row outside and thought that during a yellow flag we were going to have to pull off because the car was starting to over heat and was not handling at all. The car did end up cooling down enough during the yellow and once the green flag fell the handling of the car came around and the car stayed cool enough to finish the race. We finished the Feature in 5th place.

Us for spinning and him for taking us out. We ended up finishing the Feature in 14th place.
