Dirty
Dancing on a Friday Night - Modified Style!
Scott was OK after this Wild Ride, the #5 needed a little work, to say the
least!!
SCOTT CRYSTAL DIGS
DIRT...
5 to 6 days a week he's diggin' up KC on his 'Hoe...
Friday nights, sometimes Saturdays, he's diggin' up the dirt track in his
#5 Modified...
That's why they call him The Digger!

Judy Kay and I have a problem getting close
to drivers - we're
always held back by the fear that they will think we're stalkers. Scott probably
doesn't know this, but I became a fan of his a few years back, when he rented
the Lakeside track with Duane Walker Sr. for a
Saturday dirt track practice session. I was pretty much a rookie at that time,
so didn't know the differences between factory stock and modifieds. But his
car was red and white (my favorite colors), and Scott is real good-looking,
the car is fast and loud - I was hooked! Like Judy Kay says, if your picking
out a Favorite Driver - he might as well be hot!
Here are Scott's Stats fresh off the back of his Autograph Card:

Weekly Series at Lakeside Speedway, sometimes Topeka. He also enjoys racing
other tracks around the Midwest as often as he can.

Improved Driver.

#6 in the points standings at Lakeside. Pit Crew includes Troy Garner - John
