Tracking the Short Tracks: Mini Stock Competitor Scott Schlueter

Last year at Varney Motor Speedway, Scott Schlueter had a great season as he finished second in points.

In midst of getting ready for the 2014 season, Schlueter took on the 15 questions that make up Tracking the Short Tracks.

1. How’d you get started in racing?

Grew up going to varney and enjoyed watching. After I graduated high school I decided try it out, knowing nothing about the race cars.

Coca cola because it’s my favourite

4. Story behind your car number

My favourite number growing up and the one I used in demo derbies was 77 but the number was taken, so I turned the one 7 into a 3

Don’t have a nickname, I’ll wait until someone gives me one.

Bobby Labonte – he is my favourite driver and he has had a successful career.

When racing is over hockey season begins! I’m a big Leafs fan! Racing is really my only hobby, it takes enough of my money lol
