User blog:Ajaxcupseries/Delving Into the Mind of 18 Year Old Laquon Scransen

By: Charles Fallon - The Fallon Corner (2021)

Even after just two Craftsman Series starts, Compton, California native Laquon Scransen has already become one of the most polarizing figures in the sport.

Leading the most laps in his debut, and then becoming the first driver to be fined from the league for a post race tweet just shows he’s already been in the headlines more than 95% of the current Craftsman field!

However, the only problem with that is Scransen has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons rather than the right ones.

His post-race Twitter tirades have been one of the biggest Stories of 2021 so far, and not in a good way. Scransen’s tweets make defending Ajax Cup champion Diego Orkedi’s profile look like sunshine and rainbows in comparison.

Before the Craftsman Series heads to Blu-Ray this weekend for the first standalone event of the season, I got a chance to sit down with the 18 year old to figure out what makes him tick. One of the most compelling interviews I’ve ever done to say the least…..

—————————————————————————————

Charles Fallon (CF): “Hey Laquon, how’s it going today?”

Laquon Scransen (LS): “Good, good, good bro, how you been?”

CF: “I’ve been good Laquon, thanks for asking. Let’s get right down to business though. You’ve had an interesting start to your rookie year to say the least. How would you describe your first two weeks in the Craftsman Series?”

LS: “I don’t even know bro. Ya know I’ve been busting my ass out there for my guys, tryin’ to make sure we eating every week. And these n***** think they can push me around out there, and I ain’t tolerating that s***.”

CF: “You’ve obviously been in the news a lot with your controversial post race tweets, what I guess makes you respond that way venting on Twitter?”

LS: “Well I just want to let these n***** know I ain’t tolerating that f*** s***. Ya know I come from these streets man, where if you cross a n**** you get your ass capped. They need to know I’m bout that stick talk bro.”

CF: “What exactly do you mean by stick talk?”

LS: “That I’ll walk down on a n**** and cap his ass no questions asked if they f*** with me. I’ll f*** their b**** too while I’m at it, I don’t give a f***.”

CF: “Well lets talk about that then. You obviously grew up in Compton, one of, if not the roughest city in the country. How much do you think that affected the way you are today?”

LS: “These streets turned me into a grown man bro. I had to grow up real fast out there, tryin’ to take care of my mama ya know? We had to hit licks to even eat dinner some nights my n****.”

CF: “And what made you want to pursue a career in the ASCA, an arena that’s so vastly different from where you came from?”

LS: “I wanted to get out the hood bro, make it for my mama. She made sacrifices to get me to this point, and I want to secure that bag and buy her a mansion one day. And I ain’t gonna let none of these n***** stop me.”

CF: Did you ever consider playing football or basketball or any other sports?

LS: “Yeah bro but those sports didn’t fit me, ya Digg? I like racing bro. Driving these cars fast. And I’m the best f***** driver I know from these streets.”

CF: “Final question for you Laquon. What are your expectations for the rest of your rookie season, and looking forward to 2022 and beyond?

LS: “I wanna win bro. And I’m not gonna f***** stop until I do man. I’m gonna make sure these n***** respect me out here or I’m gonna cap their ass. And we’re gonna win ROTY and the damn championship, believe that my n****.”

CF: “Alright thanks for your time Laquon, good luck on Saturday.”

LS: “Thank you bro, you a real one out here.”
