Top 10 Scott Goodyear Memorable Moments

NOTE - This is not 'Scott Goodyear's 10 Greatest Moments' or 'Scott Goodyear's 10 Biggest Fails' - this is just 10 moments (ranked in order) that are memorable during Scott Goodyear's IndyCar career (in my opinion) Goodyear arrived in one-off programs in the late 1980s before becoming a full-time driver with the backing of the memorable Mackenzie Financial sponsor. Mackenzie, a Canadian company, liked to support Canadian drivers like Goodyear Goodyear entered in the era where having the right engine (Chevrolet until Ford entered in 1993) was the make-or-break factor in the sport. For 1990-91, Goodyear showed some promise while lugging a Judd engine around Goodyear switched to Walker Racing in 1992, and with move, a Chevrolet engine. For much of 1992-93, Goodyear was able to compete with the major teams and drivers of the sport. His first breakthrough and all-time classic moment was his finish with Al Unser Jr. for the win of the 1992 Indianapolis 500 Goodyear switched to King Racing (formerly Kenny Bernstein Racing) in 1994, and it was a disaster. He did win the attrition filled Michigan 500 that season, but otherwise it was a total disaster 1995 saw him join Tasman Motorsports as a part-time entrant. Tasman was using the trendy Reynard chassis with the under development and relatively new Honda engine. Goodyear utilized this combo to earn a front row starting spot at the Indianapolis 500. On race day, Goodyear found himself in command of the race before a late yellow bunched the field up. Goodyear passed the pace car on the restart, leading to a black flag. Goodyear did not pit and crossed the line first, but a scoring change gave Villeneuve the win In 1996, Goodyear was injured while driving for Walker Racing. He was set for a part-time program that year too, but he did have another milestone - he was in the commentary booth for the disastrous 1996 US 500 at Michigan (the rival race to the Indianapolis 500) Once he healed up, Goodyear opted to race in the IRL in 1997. He was a part of another controversial finish at the Indianapolis 500 that season - the officials threw a late green-and-white flag to P1 Arie Luyendyk and P2 Goodyear. Luyendyk was able to get moving and hold on for the win Goodyear joined Panther Racing from 1998-2000 with a couple wins to boot. He would eventually be replaced by Sam Hornish Jr. for the 2001 season. Goodyear would be injured in the 2001 Indy 500, his last start in the sport From 2002 to 2018, Goodyear served as the lead analyst for ABC/ESPN broadcasted races of the IRL and the unified IndyCar Series Goodyear had tenacity, passion, kindness, and speed, but ultimately his career is filled with 'what-ifs'. For me, I always wondered what his career would have looked like had he gotten a seat at one of the major CART teams My Links 𝕏 https://x.com/Hickey93 Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/hickey93 Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/hickey Timestamps 0:00 Number 10 1:56 Number 9 3:07 Number 8 3:53 Number 7 5:42 Number 6 6:52 Number 5 9:03 Number 4 11:38 Number 3 13:17 Number 2 17:48 Number 1 Disclaimer: This video contains footage and/or music that I do not own.
