I've known Scott since the late 80's. While going to college I work with a friend of mine at Trailer Crafters. At the time big rigs weren't a thing. We built Scott a 26 foot enclosed trailer. His first enclosed trailer! He was as nice as he could be then to me as he is now. After college I got to work with Scott again at a spring company I was working for plus the guy I was helping out on his Late Model Dirt Car had bought a Barry Wright racecar. That's who Scott was driving for at the time. Now the same guy I help out on his Super Late Model has a Bloomquist chassis. I can honestly say Scott has always treated me equal, fair and the same since I meet him in the late '80's til now. Yea, I consider Scott a good friend. Go get'em this year Scott, show'em who King of dirt.
