NASCAR Trucks: Scot Walters Ready for Watkins Glen Challenge

29 May 1998

Scot Walters and the Red Man/Brewco Motorsports team are in for a whole new experience in the Parts America 150 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York. The team is making their first start on a road course, and that can be a learning experience to say the least.

Racing on a road course is completely different than racing on an oval. Everything weight wise, is moved to the opposite side of the truck. This helps the handling since the trucks are traveling clockwise not counter clockwise as they do on the ovals.

"This is a whole new type of racing for me," said Walters. "I always wanted to race on a road course but I've never got the chance until now. I sure it will take some getting use to, but this whole year has been and will continue to be a learning experience. The one advantage I do have coming here is my crew chief (Terry Shirley) worked with Wally Dallenbach Jr. last year at Watkins Glen and that will give us some notes to go by."

Scot Walters and the Red Man/Brewco Motorsports team's 15th place finish in the Yellow Freight 200 at I-70 Speedway was the teams best finish since they recorded a 10th place at Miami-Dade Homestead Motorsports Complex on April 4th.

Scot Walters and the Red Man/Brewco Motorsports team have finish on the lead lap twice this season. Both of these finishes have come on tracks Walters competed on in the NASCAR Slim Jim All Pro Series (I-70 Speedway and Miami- Dade Homestead Motorsports Complex). The next time Walters has the opportunity to utilize this experience is at the Bristol Motor Speedway in the Loadhandler 200.

Scot Walters will be making his 10th start in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in the Parts America 150 at Watkins Glen International.

The associate sponsor on the No. 37 Red Man Chevrolet truck for the Parts America 150 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York is Kiwk Fill/Red Apple stores. Kiwk Fill/Red Apple is a chain of convenience stores located throughout the New York State area.
