(MAY 10, 2010) – 2009 All American Speedway Rookie of the Year Matt Scott, 18 of Pine Grove, Calif., gave his mom the best Mother’s Day present of all by winning Saturday night’s 50 lap feature at the speedway in Roseville.  The win marks his fifth career Late Model feature, and first of 2010, at the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series-sanctioned venue.  Scott, who entered the race as the track points leader, extended his points lead to 17 points over Jonathan Mawhinney in the track standings.  Scott qualified fifth quick and started fifth after a nine car inversion was pulled. The Matt Scott Racing pit crew of team owners Mike Scott & Chuck Scott, along with Brian Bates, Steve Bates, Rich Field, and other volunteers, made an overhaul to the setup underneath the #35 Catchyoureye.com / Halm Metal Fabrication / Pardee Lake Recreation Chevrolet. The changes proved to be the trick in the main event.  At the green, Scott quickly navigated the field on the one-third mile asphalt oval, moving past Chris Scribner to take over third by lap eight.  The Amador High School senior reeled in the top-two and took over the lead on lap 14. After a lap 16 restart, Scott and Mawhinney staged a side-by-side battle with Mawhinney taking the lead at the caution on lap 21.  On the restart, Scott roared ahead of Mawhinney to take the lead. Scott went on to build up a substantial lead and held the advantage all the way to the finish of the 50 lap race.  During the feature Scott ran a best lap of 14.027 which was not only Scott’s best main event lap thus far through six starts but also one of the best main event laps run this year on the speedway in the Late Model division.  Scott stopped on the front stretch after the win to accept the congratulations from a very partial crowd of over 1500 fans.  “It was an amazing race,�?? Scott said in victory lane. “My crew, they re-did the whole car between qualifying and the main. I really don't understand how it all came together. The car was just wicked fast.�??  Matt’s next race is scheduled for May 22nd with twin 44 lap main events scheduled at All American Speedway.  Matt Scott Racing is online at www.mattscottracing.com  Sponsorship and media inquiries can be forwarded to Steven Blakesley at steven@norcalmedia.com Matt is an honor student available for event appearances and media interviews.  Matt Scott Racing is sponsored by: Catchyoureye.com, Pardee Lake Recreation, Halm Metal Fab, Clondair Vineyards, Hobbs Construction, Sutter Hill Plumbing, Christian Builders Construction, Bickford Precision Machine, Red Corral Auto Body, DJ Safety, Tracy Embroidery, and Blakesley Sports Media.
