(BRIGHT, INDIANA) Scott James and the Warrior House Car team returned to dirt-slinging action on March 1-2 in the 16th edition of the ‘Bama Bash’ at the Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Alabama. The unsanctioned show drew 37 competitors to GVS to battle each other and the frigid weather conditions in hopes of claiming the $16,016 top prize. Scott laid down the sixth fastest lap in his stacked group during time trials on Friday night and later finished fifth in heat race action.
Following a triumph in his B-Main on Saturday evening, Scott rolled off starting seventeenth on the grid in the 75-lap ‘Bama Bash.’ With snow flurries in the air and one-groove track conditions, the Bright, Indiana native made the decision to retire from the A-Main after only eight circuits. Following the completion of the ‘Bama Bash,’ which was shortened to only 61 laps due to intensified snow showers, Scott was credited with a twenty-third place effort. Full results from the chilly weekend at Green Valley can be viewed online at www.greenvalleyspeedway.com.
“I have to give the promoter and the staff at Green Valley a lot of credit,” quoted James today via telephone. “They had every reason to cancel that show because of the weather, but they stuck with it and almost got the whole race in before the snow got real bad. There wasn’t a whole lot of passing all weekend and we just got buried a little bit after qualifying. But, we got into the feature, got some more laps in the car, and didn’t tear up anything. I think we are going to do some testing this upcoming weekend and get our stuff prepared for the big three-race swing with the World of Outlaws later in the month.”
The #1G team is now scheduled to take the next two weekends off from Dirt Late Model competition to ready for a busy stretch with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. Scott will venture next to the I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Mississippi, and the Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tennessee from March 22-24 for a triple shot of WOOLMS action. All three southern battles will boast a $10,000 winner’s check. Additional information on these races can be found by clicking on www.woolms.com.
