Every driver has a race, or several, that in the back of their mind was one where they had a vehicle capable of winning if it wasn’t for a bad break. For Brian Scott, the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta is one of those races. The Idaho native will have another chance to visit victory lane at the 1.5-mile Tri-oval Friday night, driving the #18 Dollar General Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Kentucky 201, his first Truck Series start at the track since the 2009 race. Scott, who qualified second, had the dominant truck in the early stages of the race. He took the lead from pole-sitter Ron Hornaday Jr. on lap two and remained on point until lap 29. The young driver had settled into the second position until the right front tire on his Toyota blew out on lap 36 and catapulted the truck into the outside retaining wall. Despite substantial damage to the right front fender, Scott’s crew was able to make repairs and remain on the lead lap. By race’s end, he had battled back to earn a hard-fought sixth-place finish. In 59 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts, Scott has collected one win (Dover ’09), nine top-five and 20 top-10 finishes.(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(9-18-2012)
