PODCAST: Scott Pruett - My racing life and career, Part 2

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.
