Scott was born in Mitchell, Indiana, on January 17, 1958. At a young age Scott not only fell in love with his lovely wife, Sharon, he also fell in love with racing. He found his way to the Kinser Family with sprint car racing and spent many years there as a crew chief and engine builder. Scott was able to travel the country doing what he loved for the last 30 plus years. Scott enjoyed spending his free time with his family, especially his grandson, Greyson.
