Scott James and his #83 Dirt Late Model team invaded the state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri from May 9-11 for the 2nd Annual 'SuperClean Diamond Nationals.' The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned the mega-event and a $40,000 top prize was up for grabs. The cameras of the SPEED Channel were on hand throughout the extended Mothers Day weekend to tape all of the dirt-slinging action for broadcast later in year.

The Bright, Indiana driver started off the weekend on a strong note, as he posted the second fastest time in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series group qualifying on Friday night, May 9. After Mother Nature took the win on Saturday, the rest of the program was completed on Sunday, May 11. Scott finished a solid second in his heat race to Scott Bloomquist on Sunday, which enabled the "Silver Shark" to roll off from the inside of the fourth row for the 'SuperClean Diamond Nationals' main event. Scott ran amongst the leaders the entire race and eventually wound up an impressive sixth in the final rundown behind winner Shannon Babb, Billy Moyer, Darrell Lanigan, Jimmy Owens, and Steve Casebolt after 100 green flag racing laps.

Scott James and his #83 Dirt Late Model team were scheduled to attend a pair of Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series shows at the Bedford (PA) Speedway and the Hagerstown (MD) Speedway on April 25-26. However, Mother Nature was once again victorious over the weekend and both races were washed out.

The Jam-Pow Motorsports team traveled to the Twin Cities Raceway Park in Vernon, Indiana and the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio last weekend for a pair of Dirt Late Model events. At Twin Cities on Friday night, April 18, Scott James finished second in his heat race to earn the sixth starting spot for the O'Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass Dirtcar Series-sanctioned main event. After suffering an early flat tire in the $3,000 to win A-Main, Scott was relegated to a disappointing nineteenth place performance.

On Saturday, April 19, the action turned to the "Big E," as the Sunoco American Late Model Series (ALMS) sanctioned a $2,000 to win show. Scott finished fourth in his heat race, but later won his B-Main to advance to the feature event. After starting towards the back of the pack in the A-Main, the "Silver Shark" blasted up to the second spot and had his sights set on a possible trip to victory lane before suffering a broken driveshaft, which led to a twelfth place finish.

Scott James and his #83 team invaded the K-C Raceway in Chillicothe, Ohio on Saturday night, April 12 for another exciting round of Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition. Scott timed in twenty-seventh quickest in qualifying and later finished sixth in his ultra-competitive heat race. The Bright, Indiana native was then battling for a transfer spot in his B-Main when his left rear tire rolled off the rim late in the race. Because of the misfortune, Scott was forced to take a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series provisional to gain access into the 'Glockner 50.'

Unfortunately for the Jam-Pow Motorsports team, their night did not get any better during the $10,000 to win feature event. As the cars paraded around the track prior to the drop of the green flag, Scott's nose folded up underneath of the car after hitting a rut. The unfortunate set of circumstances sent the "Silver Shark" back to the pit area for the rest of the evening. He was credited with a twenty-fourth place performance after failing to complete one green flag racing lap.
