Scott Weney is now racing through the pearly gates and doing it at full throttle.

Scott is survived by wife Candi, Son’s Rory & Dillon, Brother’s Michael & Gary, Sister Terri, Parents Walter & Vonda. The entire Weney family wants to express their gratitude to everyone who has prayed and offered support during these difficult days. They also wanted to clearly state that Scott spent his last moments at a place that he considered ‘home,’ which is the drag strip.

His accomplishments are many and too numerous to list, but his most impressive include winning the 2000 IHRA Funny Car World Championship, becoming the President of S&W Race Cars, and his latest achievement of becoming a race series promoter; forming S&S Race Promotions with Scotty Richardson and launching the ‘Fun in the Sun’ Race Series.

Please keep Scott and his family in your prayers. We will post additional details as soon as they become available. Also, please direct all inquiries to Jill Canuso at jillc@swracecars.com or 1-800-523-3353 ext.112
With kind regards ~ The Weney family & the team at S&W Race Cars

Big loss of racing community. I met Scott in  1991 at Bristol. He wa in right lane when Rickey(our driver) had intake seal blowout and cause him to go for wild  ride. Made the cover of the video  for crashed and walked away. Amzing how much coverage you get for destroying nice racecar.

    Scott was at the car before the safety crew making sure Rickey was ok. A guy he had never really met or knew. I  had a few conversation with him during the 20 years after. My last was cpl months ago on facebook and was about the race a Bristol as matter of fact.

 SUPER NICE guy. Great racer and chassis man. Will be greatly missed. RIP
