FIRST WORD
IF I RACE, I WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE. AND IF I’M NOT COMPETITIVE, THEN I WILL PROBABLY SIT SUNDAY OUT.” Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, on his potential return to stock car racing. According to the “Burlington (Vt.) Free Press,” he hopes to practice at Thunder Road SpeedBowl in Barre, Vt., on Saturday and might race in Sunday’s Merchants Bank 150 race. Scott placed fourth in the same race last year, when he was lieutenant governor.
