Scott Racing plans to expand their NASCAR All-Pro Series team and make a competitiive NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Team in as many as five races next season. Jarod Robie who piloted the #89 Chevrolet in the NASCAR All-Pro Series in 2002, will again be behind the wheel next year in the series. 2002 marked the team’s first full season competing in the NASCAR All-Pro Series, which is sponsored by Hill Bros Coffee. The team wrapped up the season with one top five finish and four top ten finishes. Their best finish of the season occurred at Memphis Motorsports Park in Tennessee where Robie crossed the line third. In the team’s rookie year, they were able to finish 14th in the final standings. With solid experience in cars, many believe that Robie is up to the task by jumping up to trucks in 2003. “I am very excited about competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series next year,” he said. “Scott Williams is putting a lot of effort into this program, as well as our NASCAR All-Pro Series program and I am lucky individual to be a part of this.” While the team has yet to be given a truck number, they have narrowed down their choice of manufacturer for the series and begun shopping for a new truck. Robie will pilot either a Chevrolet Silverado or a Dodge Ram. With the team searching for primary sponsorship for both the CTS operation, and All-Pro Series team, Iron Horse Safety Specialties, and Dalloz Fall Protection will be on the truck and returning to the #89 Chevy in the NASCAR All-Pro Series in 2003. Lee McCallister will be calling the shots in the pits for both the cars and truck next year as crew chief role at Scott Racing. The team is targeting New Hampshire International Speedway, South Boston Speedway and Memphis Motorsports Park as tracks the team will attempt to make. If all goes according to the team’s plan, they will make a bid at the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship in 2004, along with Robie taking aim at Rookie of the Year.(Catchfence)(12-13-2002)
