SCOTT MAXWELL
Toronto native Scott Maxwell will make two appearances at Canadian Motorsports Expo, meeting fans and signing autographs on the ‘Celebrity Stage’ Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
Scott’s trophy shelf began filling up with championship hardware with the Canadian Automobile Sports Clubs – Ontario Region Formula Vee title in the early 80’s. His accomplishments are the envy of many a racer including first place in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, (in the all-Canadian Multimatic Motorsports built entry), with fellow Canadians John Graham and Greg Wilkins. Scott and the Multimatic team added the inaugural Daytona Prototype race win, taking the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway sharing driving duties with fellow Canadian champion racer David Empringham and England’s own David Brabham.
Maxwell’s career has also seen him team-up with some other elite drivers such as Champ Car title holder Sebastien Bourdais in American Le Mans Series action and NASCAR stars Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle at the Rolex 24. Maxwell most recently has been a fixture in the American Le Mans Series and Grand Am KONI Challenge Series.
