Scott Diehl

Driven Racing Oil

Scott was born in Michigan, and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Following high school, Scott attended Ferris State University, and studied Automotive and Heavy Equipment Technology.

After graduation he went to work as a mechanic in the truck leasing business. Scott attended many races watching his uncle race stock cars, so it was natural that he started helping friends work on their race cars at night and on the weekends.

This turned into a real passion, and that sent Scott south to work in NASCAR.

He worked for Tim Fedewa for 2 years fielding cars in the old Busch series. In 1996, Scott went to work for Roush Racing, and worked on the 99 car with Jeff Burton.

At the end of 1998, Scott left Roush Racing to join Joe Gibbs Racing where he served as the car chief for Greg Zipadelli and Tony Stewart with the 20 car.

Under Scott’s tenure on the 20 car, the team won 2 NASCAR Cup Series Championships.

While working at Joe Gibbs Racing, Scott witnessed many 5 gallon buckets of oil come into the shop to be used in the engines and drive train. Scott saw first hand the impact of chemistry on performance, and this sparked his interest in the chemistry of lubrication.

In 2006 Scott left the competition side of Joe Gibbs Racing, to work with the lubrication business at Joe Gibbs Racing. Currently, Scott is studying towards certification as a Certified Lubrication Specialist.
