(BRIGHT, INDIANA) Scott James and the Warrior House Car team made a late-week decision to invade the Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky on Saturday, March 30 and the decision paid off to the tune of a $5,000 ‘Spring 50’ title! The 37th edition of the storied race drew a 27 car field to the 1/2-mile, Cincinnati area venue. Scott laid down the seventh quickest lap during the qualifying session and later ran second in his heat race. After rolling off from the outside of the second row in the unsanctioned main event, Scott sported a fast Warrior racecar from the drop of the green flag.
The popular driver known as the “Silver Shark” grabbed the point from leader Greg Johnson on the eighteenth circuit and despite battling brake issues, Scott held back the stellar field for the remainder of the caution-free race. At the end of 50 laps, Scott found himself in victory lane celebrating with his family and crew after beating Mike Marlar, Greg Johnson, Eddie Carrier, Jr., and Tyler Reddick to the checkers.

“We made a last minute decision to bring our back-up car to Florence and that thing was awesome all night,” quoted James this week via telephone. “I hadn’t really driven that car much at all this year, but it was exceptional – aside from the brake issues – and that was one of the more fun races that I can remember in recent years. The track was great, especially for this time of year, so hats off to the Florence Speedway crew. I just have to thank everyone associated with the Warrior House Car team and I am very excited to get back on the Outlaws tour this weekend at Farmer City!”
