Scotty Richardson has never wrestled a 320-mph Top Fueler down the quarter-mile.
And he never raced back in the days before there was smooth, prepared tracks and
drivers had to be just as adept with both the clutch and gas pedals.
But what the 39-year-old Barbourville Ky, racer has done in 21 years is win 38
NHRA national events in 54 final rounds in five Sportsman eliminators - Super
Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street. Some of his more
noteworthy accomplishments include:
|
Five national championships - in Super Comp (1991, 1993, and 1994), Super Gas (1994), and Stock (1996). One of only six drivers to have won two eliminators at the same NHRA national event - Super Comp and Super Street at the 1995 Checker Schuck's Kragen Nationals. Is the only driver to win two national championships in the same year - Super Comp and Super Gas in 1994. In 1996, won the national championship in Stock and was tied with Matt Driskell for the Super Comp national championship but lost the tie-breaker, which was decided based on who had more national event round-wins. Has winning final-round record in divisional competition - a combined 23-7 in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, and Super Gas. Between 1991 and 1998, was division champion five times in Super Comp and once in Super Gas in Divisions 1, 3, and 4. Counting his win in Super Pro at the 1989 Division 4 Eastern Bracket Finals, Richardson has won 57 of 75 final rounds, and that doesn't include numerous big money bracket race wins, such as the Sunoco Five-Day E.T. Championships at Moroso Motorsports Park in West Palm Beach, Fla., at which he has been overall champion twice.
Drivers in the Professional categories only have to win four rounds. They also do not have to dial in e.t.s - the first to the finish line wins. Pro drivers also do not have to worry as much about their reaction times because a late launch can be made up with horsepower.
The Sportsman categories in which Richardson competes rarely require less than seven rounds of competition, and with the advent of buy-backs at bracket races, eliminations can stretch to 12 hours and take up to 10 rounds.
