The team of three drivers completed 757 laps over the 24 hours to take out the win in what was Scott\u2019s debut at the event.<\/p>\n<p>After winning Daytona, a mate flew them in his private jet to a lake house in Austin, Texas, where they\u2019ve been relaxing and recovering since.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s living the life of a racing super star. But according to his father, Paul Andrews, who runs Andrews Automotive in Torquay, his beginnings were humble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe bought an old go-kart, went out, did the father-and-son thing for a few years,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, he says, you could still do pretty well with old equipment, time and effort.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his childhood, Scott showed immense talent. When he turned 18, Paul entered him in the Commodore Cup, a car race series named after the Holden Commodore car all participants must drive.<\/p>\n<p>Scott did well, but realised it wasn\u2019t going to be a stepping stone to bigger races.<\/p>\n<p>Paul reached out to a friend, Sean Scott, who was a previous Formula Ford team owner, a Formula 1-style development race car.<\/p>\n<p>Sean had two Formula Ford race cars, so they set up an agreement where Paul would look after the cars and Sean would coach and do the engineering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got to Winton and in one practice session Scott was on the pole lap time of the year before,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n<p>Sean, who trained the likes of Australian racing legend Lee Holdsworth, turned to Paul and said \u201cThe kid\u2019s got natural talent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>From there, things just took off.<\/p>\n<p>Last month\u2019s Daytona 24 Hours \u2014 a race that literally goes for 24 hours with a team of interchanging drivers \u2014 was Scott\u2019s first 24-hour event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty much a bucket list race,\u201d Scott said, adding that to win to race on debut was his biggest career win to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s almost a feeling of relief when you win something like that because you put so much work into it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn motor sport, the smallest little thing needs to happen for your whole race to crumble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the time I would be the underdog, or our team would be the underdog, but this time we were not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott said he couldn\u2019t have done it without his dad, his mates and a lot of luck.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30038 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Daytona24Hoursra_64369.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIFE was relatively simple at first for Scott Andrews.
