Five-time NHRA Sportsman-racing world champion Scotty Richardson passes away at 54
Between 1988 and 2014, Richardson tallied 39 NHRA national event titles across six eliminators, Comp, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street. He is well known for his five world championships, but in actuality, that number could be closer to seven as he lost two more titles via a tiebreaker. In 1994, Richardson also became the first driver to claim two championships in the same year when he secured both the Super Comp and Super Gas titles.
By the mid-2000s, Richardson took a step back from NHRA racing to focus on big-money E.T. bracket events, and he barely skipped a beat, winning many of the biggest races in the country including the overall title at prestigious Moroso 5-Day E.T. championships (twice), the Spring Fling Million, and a host of other huge events.
