HARRY SCOTT – 6/28/1966 - 8/2/2017 -
HScott Motorsports was an off shoot from a split between Harry Scott and partner Steve Turner (Turner-Scott Motorsports). Scott split off to go full time CUP racing after being partnered with Steve Turner running a multi-car operation in the Xfinity series. Scott started off in the CUP series on a part-time basis in 2013. He ran eleven races with the four drivers of Justin Allgaier, Kyle Larson, Michael McDowell and Ryan Truex. In 2014 he hired Justin Allgaier to run the full season schedule wheeling the #51 machine. It was a struggle for the new upstart team and the best finish Allgaier could muster was a 15th at Homestead and Charlotte. The team showed promise the further the season went; and there were high hopes for 2015. Scott decided he'd increase his team from a one car team to a two car team. Common thought was a two car team would be able to gather more information and that would help the team progress and improve faster than a single car operation. SO when 2015 kicked off Scott again had Allgaier as one full time driver; and he brought up Michael Annett to drive a team

car (#46). But things didn't pan out as planned. Allgaier posted a top ten finish at Bristol in April; and he ended up with 12 top twenty finishes that season. Annett didn't fare as well as he was only able to post one top 20 finish (and it came the opening race of the season as he placed 13th in the Daytona 500). 2016 Scott had high hopes that a veteran drive could put his cars up front and Clint Bowyer needed a ride for just one season. Bowyer was going to take over the car Tony Stewart when he retired at the end of 2016 and need a car to drive for the 2016 season. This worked out perfect since it would show if Scott's operation was one that had promise or not. If the cars were good; but the drivers lacked talent; Bowyer would be able to get

the car up near the front. Annett stayed on as a driver with Scott since he brought along the Pilot/Flying J sponsorship with him. Allgaier had been offered a good ride in JR Motorsports Xfinity series so he spent 2016 there. Bowyer was also able to bring along a sponsor as he had ties with 5 Hour Energy. Annett regressed and had a worse season than in 2015. In 2016 his best finish was 20th. Bowyer had posted two top five finishes and 12 top ten finishes in 2015 driving for a struggling Michael Waltrip Racing team. Bowyer wasn't competitive as he only led three laps all season. He wasn't even able to finish inside the top five with his best finish being a seventh at Talladega. He had just three top ten finishes for the season. Bowyer was only able to finish on the lead lap in 15 of the 36 races. At the end of the 2016 season
