Phill Scott’s race for Vermont governor ended in victory lane. His season racing debut at Thunder Road International SpeedBowl, though, ended in a ditch.
With just a few laps to go in the 55th Memorial Day Classic in Barre, Vt., Scott’s No. 14 Late Model stock car was bumped by another car, then scraped the wall and went off track, WCAX-TV reports. The Vermont governor actually was running P2 at the time of the wreck, which ended his day.
He reportedly wasn’t injured in the crash, which banged up what was a pretty good looking car.
Scott is the United States’ only sitting governor to race stock cars, according to WCAX-TV.
