Winning Phoenix History ... The 25-year-old Chevy driver has seven previous Nationwide Series starts at the track in the "Valley of the Sun". His best start of fifth came in the 2011 spring event. He is credited with five top-15 finishes with a best finish of eighth. Last fall the Boise, Idaho native claimed victory in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event after leading 48 laps to earn his second career Camping World Truck Series win.
Welcome to the Whitetail Club ... The Whitetail Club will adorn the hood of Scott's Camaro this Saturday afternoon. Set on 1,300-acres of old-growth Ponderosa pine forests, grassy meadows, streams and trout ponds. Whitetail prides itself on a place for families to relax among friends and discover new forms of adventure. Whitetail comes with such amenities that include membership to Andy North golf course, athletic complex with indoor tennis courts, private fish and swim club, Nordic ski trails and ten miles of paved walking paths.
Last Time Around ... In the season opener at Daytona International Speedway, Scott earned his best career superspeedway finish. In an event where the No. 2 driver ran a conservative and methodical race, he led five laps, and brought home the No. 2 Shore Lodge Camaro in the sixth position after getting caught in a multi-car last lap incident while crossing the finish line. Scott enters the Dollar General 200 fourth in the Nationwide Series Driver's point standings.
BRIAN SCOTT QUOTES:
"I'm looking forward to getting on track at Phoenix (International Raceway); it's one of my favorite tracks on the schedule. The No. 2 crew was able to win this event last year and we're bringing the same car this weekend. I won the truck race there last fall and have had strong runs in the Nationwide Series over the years. It will be nice to get to a short track after superspeedway racing at Daytona (International Speedway) and we'll head into this weekend looking to keep putting together strong and consistent finishes."
How does having been to victory lane help you going back?
Anytime you have success at a track you always look forward to going back. More than anything you know the feel in a vehicle when it was good, so you have a baseline from when you led laps, had a strong rhythm and know what you need to achieve the next time out."
