Joey Scarallo (born 29 November 1978 in Adelaide, Australia) is a professional racing driver. At the age of three his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he currently still lives.
Scarallo started karting at age 11, winning multiple championships. It was around this time that he graduated from the Jim Hall Kart School. When he was 13 years old, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to put his racing aspirations on hold.[citation needed] After undergoing brain surgery he became a two-time national karting champion, winning two Duffy trophies, in the International Karting Federation (IKF.)
