He attended his first Indy 500 in 1973, and later worked at the United States Auto Club while in high school. Scott was a member of the IMS Public Address announce crew for seven years, and from 1989-1998, he worked as a sports anchor and reporter at WRTV-6 (ABC) in Indianapolis. Scott also spent six seasons as the TV Host of the Indiana Pacers television broadcasts and nine years as the morning radio host on WFYI-FM (NPR) in Indianapolis. Scott is equally adept as an emcee and event host at functions ranging from large fundraisers to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s outdoor summer concert series, “Symphony on the Prairie,” which he hosted for 17 years.
