The Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown premiered on Sunday “Jim Scott,” a documentary film chronicling his legendary racing career. The movie, written and produced by Randy Anderson, Greg Peterson and Randy Sweeney, highlights the prolific stock car racing achievements of one of the most popular and accomplished personalities in the 60-plus years of Stateline Speedway. Using video interviews with Scott, his family members, the priceless picture collections of racing photographers Gordon Mahan and Olen Seidler, plus vintage home movies, the film makers have brought to the screen the life of the man known far and wide for his talent behind the steering wheel of a stock car and his unrelenting devotion to the sport.
