If you’re a motorsports fan, you’ve probably heard the name Scott Speed. From his journey through Formula 1, ARCA, NASCAR, and Rallycross as part of the Red Bull family, the three-time X Games gold medalist has sure done it all. What spawned from a love of racing video games quickly grew into go-karting and a call from Red Bull. Scott was quickly put into the Formula One pipeline, becoming Red Bull’s test driver for F1. A career as a teammate to Sebastian Vettel quickly disappeared after a heated exchange with the team boss. Scott walks through why he decided to go back to America and try NASCAR – and the level of difficulty in stock car racing that he wasn’t prepared for. Dale watches Scott open up about how a broken back in a Rallycross race introduced a new career opportunity with Josh Wise – taking Scott out of the seat altogether. This is an episode of The Dale Jr Download you don’t want to miss.
