Scott James headed to the Tarheel State of North Carolina on April

Scott James Planning Full
WOOLMS Assault With Warrior House Car Team
(March
11, 2013) Scott James' 2013 racing campaign is headed
in a direction he could only have dreamed when the year began. The
41-year-old driver from Bright, Ind., has confirmed that he plans
to follow the World of Outlaws Late Model Series fulltime for the
remainder of the season, topping off a whirlwind month that saw
him debut with Sanford Goddard's Warrior Chassis house car team,
enjoy a solid Georgia/Florida Speedweeks and work out the details
that will allow him to compete as a regular on the national tour
for the first time in his career.
With James sitting seventh in the WoO LMS points standings entering
next weekend's three-race swing to I-30 Speedway in Little Rock,
Ark. (March 22), Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Miss. (March
23) and Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tenn. (March 24), he's
now eligible to receive travel benefits as part of the circuit's
Winner's Circle program. That fact helped push Goddard and James
to put their focus on World of Outlaws competition.
"We started considering doing the whole (WoO LMS) deal while
we were in Florida," said James, who will earn appearance money
and other perks from the WoO LMS as long as he maintains perfect
attendance and holds a top-12 spot in the points standings. "When
we got home I talked with Sanford and my wife (Megan). We pretty
much figured out that, even though we have a one-year-old (daughter)
at home, it just made a lot of sense financially to give running
the series a shot. | full
