Scott Childress drives the #78 Crate Late Model Class car.  His home track is Travelers Rest Speedway.  He lives in Greenville, SC.

Team members helping Scott are:  Willie Maucer, C. J. Mason, Jonathan Ben, Will Childers, Hannah Childers.  Ed and Scott Childers are the car owners.

Scott started racing in 1997 in the Mod 4 Class at Riverside Speedway because his Father raced before.  His first win was in 1999 in the Mod 4 at Cherokee Super Speedway.  Career highlights include 1999 Track Champion at Cherokee Super Speedway in Mod 4, 2001 Track Champion at Travelers Rest Speedway in Mod 4, 2002 World 4 Cylinder Nationals Champion, US 4 Cylinder Nationals Champion, Mini Madness Tennessee champion.

The thrill of racing for Scott is the competition.  His most exciting racing moment was passing Scott Tessner on last lap at Thunder Valley Speedway, a special 4 Cylinder race.  He's most proud of the fact that they have kept our family involved in racing and they support him.

Scott's racing hero is Jeff Gordon.

Of racing, Scott says, "Race like you wanna be racing and don't take the fun out of it!".
