Charlotte, NC (April 13, 2009) – 3 Wide Life is a show about real racers. A “real” racer eats, sleeps and breaths racing. Occasionally, they are born with a name that doesn’t give them a chance at doing anything else. Such is the case for NASCAR new comer, Scott Speed.
“It’s my real name,” says Speed. “It was my dad’s name and he passed it on to me. It’s not like I HAD to race, but it certainly seems that if you walk around with a name like ‘Speed’ that people will assume that’s what you are born to do. I don’t know if that’s what I was born to do, but the name has definitely helped me out with opportunities over the years.”
Speed is featured in this week’s episode of 3 Wide Life. He has been a target of the producers of the show for some time now, as they feel he embodies the spirit of a racer “living the 3 Wide Life.” Racers who want to race. Anything and everything. Anytime, any place.
“We have wanted to feature Scott (Speed) for some time now,” said 3WL producer Chris Trainor. “He has raced all over the world, in all kinds of race cars. If anyone is qualified to talk some racing, it’s Scott Speed. We were excited when he agreed to be featured on the show. His interview did not disappoint.”
