Brian Scott will make his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start since 2009 driving the #18 Shore Lodge Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports in Friday’s Lucas Oil 200 at Dover International Speedway. The first of five Truck Series starts scheduled with KBM this season will be a reunion in many ways for Scott. The 24-year-old returns to the site of his first NASCAR win, reunited with his home-state sponsor and will be driving for the team that began with the purchase of his family-owned Xpress Motorsports. Scott scored his first NASCAR victory on May 30, 2009 in the AAA Insurance 200 Truck Series race at the “Monster Mile.” Driving for his family-owned team, Xpress Motorsports, the then 19-year old led the final 14 laps en route to an emotional victory. After completing a successful 2009 season in the Truck Series and a limited Nationwide Series schedule, Scott signed with Braun Racing to run the full Nationwide Series schedule in 2010. For the 2011 season the Idaho native signed with Joe Gibbs Racing, where he produced two top-five and seven-top-10 finishes for his home-state sponsor Shore Lodge. This season, he returned to drive Nationwide Series Camrys for JGR with backing from Dollar General, who will also be onboard for three of his Truck Series starts at KBM. At the end of the 2009 season, while Scott was transitioning from the Truck Series to the Nationwide Series, Kyle Busch was finalizing plans for his new Truck Series team, KBM. In need of an inventory of trucks to supplement those that would be built in-house for KBM’s inaugural campaign, Busch purchased the assets of the Scott’s family-owned team, including the Tundra that Scott will drive this weekend, chassis 128.(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR) [Rendering of the #18-Shore Lodge Toyota is posted on the #18 NCWTS 2012 Paint Schemes page.](5-29-2012)
