Scott Pruett is back for the second installment of his racing life and career on the Marshall Pruett Podcast to talk through the transition from being a factory Ford Trans-Am and IMSA GTO driver to racing in IMSA's GTP series, then pooling his prize money to buy a seat in the CART IndyCar Series which launched an amazing run in open-wheel racing.
From an unforgettable rookie season with Truesports to nearly driving for the Porsche IndyCar team to the gruesome crash in testing that put Pruett through recovery hell for a year, the 58-year-old shines the spotlight on a rich period in his vast racing history.

Standing at the precipice of his final race, Scott Pruett visits the Marshall Pruett Podcast to discuss his life growing up in Northern California, his family’s heavy influence in the 50-year career he’s about to close, the extreme importance karting played in his development, getting his first shot as a pro in sports cars, the move to Jack Roush Racing that changed his world, the fierce—and sometimes fisticuff-laden--time in IMSA GTO and Trans-Am with Willy T. Ribbs, Paul Newman, and other legends of the era, and his one-off Formula 1 test with the Larrousse Calmels team in 1987.
Part 2, spanning his time in IMSA GTP and IndyCar, will be the subject of the next recording with the 57-year-old phenom, and more episodes will follow to capture his peerless career.
