Roscoe the Promoter (possible full name; or known as just Roscoe normally for short)[1] is the gatekeeper at the Thunder Hollow Speedway.
Bio
- Roscoe is the gate keeper at Thunder Hollow Speedway. He's amused when he meets rookies who think they're braves enough to run on Crazy Eight night and has fun watching them try to survive on the track. Despite that, Roscoe's a stickler for the rules: no escaping the track once the race starts; last car standing wins; and no cursing on family night. But swerving is encouraged.[2]
