Next up is the Dollar General 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday, October 12.

· SCOTT A DOUBLE-DUTY DRIVER IN KENTUCKY: In addition to piloting his familiar No. 11 Dollar General Camry in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway, Scott is also slated to compete in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event.

The 24-year-old Boise, Idaho native will also compete in the Truck Series events at Martinsville Speedway (October 27) and Phoenix International Raceway (November 9).

From the Cockpit:

Brian Scott: “Kentucky is a good track for me and I really enjoy racing there. We didn’t have the finish we wanted there earlier this year because we struggled with engine issues, but before that we had a good run going. I have no doubt that Kevin and the guys will give me another fast racecar, we just need to capitalize on that this weekend. We’ve missed out on too many opportunities this season and haven’t quite shown our strength. This No. 11 Dollar General team is fully capable of contending week in and week out, so that is our goal from here throughout the rest of the season.”

From the Pit Box:

Kevin Kidd: “Ride quality is typically a big issue at Kentucky. Working your car through the bumps can provide a lot of speed. As with all intermediate tracks, aerodynamics play a critical part of the equation as well. Our last effort at Kentucky was disappointing in that we had a pretty good car, yet ended the race early with an engine failure. The guys in the motor room have worked really hard, put that stuff behind them, and now we are off to Kentucky again to show what we can do there.”
