Black Gold Racing Team History



Scott Searcy 1996Black Gold Racing started in 1996, with Scott Searcy driving for the team. The first car was a Pure Stock that was run at Viking Speedway. The main sponsor was the Radio Station 94.3 FM which aired the "Speedway Show" by Jason Dale.

In 1997, the team built a new car and changed the number to 15. The number was choosen because the crew was a big fan of Kenny Bullick a former driver in the Sportsman Division at Viking Speedway. The first race in the new car was exciting for the team as Scott won the feature.
