Trans Am Hall of Fame: Scott Pruett

February 7, 2025

Scott Pruett has found success in a variety of sports car, stock car and open wheel series, winning in some of the world’s most prestigious events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. For the remarkably determined and diversely skilled driver, the Trans Am Series was no exception, recording 22 wins and three championships in three different decades. Pruett won his first title in 1987, piloting a Merkur XR4Ti to seven wins. He earned his second Trans Am title in 1994 with three victories, but it would be nearly a decade later when he would win his third championship in his career-best season while driving Paul Gentilozzi’s Jaguar XKR to eight wins.
