Driving the Xpress Motorsports No. 16 Toyota Tundra, Scott has scored a win, a second and two third-place finishes in the past seven races and sits sixth in the standings heading into this weekend’s race at Kentucky Speedway. Hornaday is the leader by 76 over Matt Crafton.
Making Scott’s recent performances even more impressive is the fact that he’s run the past two races with a broken right wrist, suffered in a crash at Michigan. He gives most of the credit to his team.
“It really shows the strength of our team because I’m not able to be 100-percent because of the cast, but everyone else has really shined,” Scott said. “We’ve got such good equipment and unload strong at the track. My hat’s off to the guys because they’ve really stepped up and filled in the gaps.”
He said after his third-place finish at Milwaukee that there were certain times that the wrist was more problematic than others.
