Expert analyst, Indy Racing League, ABC Sports
Scott Goodyear enters his fourth season as the expert analyst on ABC Sports' coverage of the Indy Racing League.
Goodyear brings more than two decades of racing experience to the ABC broadcast booth. In his four-year Indy Racing League career, he recorded one top-five and two other top-10 finishes in the season point standings, as well as three wins, 14 other top-five finishes and seven other top-10 finishes.
He has five top-10 Indianapolis 500 finishes, including two second-place efforts, the most memorable of which occurred in 1992 when he chased Al Unser to the finish line in a brilliant final two-lap charge, finishing second by just .043 of a second, the closest margin in race history. His first Indy Car victory came that year at Michigan in the Marlboro 500.
Six years after his 1980 auto racing debut, Goodyear seized his first title, the 1986 North American Formula Atlantic Championship, following a season in which he won five of nine races. That same year he was named Driver of the Year by the Canadian Race Drivers Association. He has also driven in the CART and Formula Ford series.
Goodyear owned and operated a high performance driving school before moving to the United States to pursue his professional driving career.
Born December 20, 1959, in Toronto, Canada, Goodyear currently resides in Carmel, Indiana, with his wife, Leslie, and their three children.
