The "Silver Shark" Scott James is still finalizing plans for his new race team and has chosen to skip Speedweeks 2010 in the Sunshine State of Florida. Scott, who has been a fixture at the East Bay Raceway Park and the Volusia Speedway Park for many years, will likely open up his 2010 campaign sometime in the month of March. As soon as more details emerge about Scott's 2010 plans, they will be posted first here at www.scottjamesmotorsports.com.

Scott James and his #83 Dirt Late Model team headed to the nearby Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana over the October 17-18 weekend for the 29th Annual 'Dirt Track World Championship.' The $50,000 to win crown jewel event drew 71 of the best drivers in the country to Lawrenceburg for the two-day show. Unfortunately, Scott was unable to make his way into the DTWC starting field after finishing sixth in his competitive heat race on Saturday and slapping the wall in his B-Main on Sunday.

Bright, Indiana native Scott James and his Jam-Pow Motorsports team invaded the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on Saturday, October 10 for the annual 'UMP DIRTcar Nationals.' The UMP DIRTcar Series closed out their points season at the "Big E" and a $5,000 top prize was up for grabs. Scott timed in third quickest in his group during qualifying and later won his competitive heat race. After starting the 40-lap main event from the outside of the front row, Scott took the early race lead, but succumbed to mechanical problems on lap seven. The mechanical gremlins cost the "Silver Shark" a chance at the win and relegated him to a disappointing twenty-fourth place performance.

The "Silver Shark" Scott James and his #83 Dirt Late Model team ventured west to the infamous Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa last weekend for the 6th Annual 'Knoxville Late Model Nationals.' The crown jewel event was slated to be a three-day show from October 1-3, but Mother Nature had entirely different plans. Instead, a one-day, $40,000 to win program took place at the 1/2-mile oval on Sunday afternoon, October 4.

Scott timed in thirtieth fastest during qualifying on Sunday afternoon and later won his competitive heat race. However, he did not earn enough points from qualifying and heat race action to transfer him directly into the 100-lap feature event. Following a strong third place performance in the B-Main, Scott rolled off twenty-third on the grid in the $40,000 to win 'Knoxville Late Model Nationals.' In front of the SPEED Channel cameras, the Bright, Indiana native worked his way by eleven competitors en route to a respectable twelfth place effort.
