Brian Scott Contends for Race Win at Auto Club Speedway
Brian Scott and his No. 2 Anderson’s Maple Syrup Chevrolet Camaro qualified ninth for the TREATMYCLOT.com 300 at Auto Club Speedway. Scott was a contender for the race win early on as he battled inside the top 10. The team made a chassis adjustment during the green-flag pit stop on lap 68 to help Scott’s tight-handling Camaro. The adjustments were correct, and Scott took over the race lead on lap 79. The Anderson’s Maple Syrup Chevrolet battled with the front-running contenders, but lost track position as the tight conditions through the corners continued. Scott fought hard for the remainder of the race and collected a 12th-place finish. The finish holds Scott in the seventh-place position in the driver point standings heading into Texas Motor Speedway in two weeks.
Start – 9th Finish – 12th Laps Led – 2 Pts – 7th
BRIAN SCOTT QUOTE:
“I don’t know what happened there at the end. We had a vibration that really hurt us on the last restart. We’ll put our heads together and figure out what we need to do to get the finishes that reflect the quality of team and car that we have here at RCR. I want to thank Anderson’s Maple Syrup and Albertsons for coming on board this weekend at Auto Club Speedway. Everyone worked really hard and we’ll work through this.”

TY DILLON QUOTE:
“I’m happy with the way our WESCO Chevy finished, but we definitely wanted more. The track conditions changed throughout the day. It was pretty warm out there, and we had to make the appropriate changes on pit road. Our guys stuck with it, Danny once again made some really good calls and we got a top-10 finish. We’ll enjoy this off-weekend coming up, but keep working at getting better.”
Brendan Gaughan Finishes 15th at Auto Club Speedway
BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE:
“This is not the finish we wanted today for the WIX Filters Chevrolet. We started out pretty loose, but were able to make the right adjustments throughout the day to improve the car. Falling off the jack during our pit stop put us a lap down, but we were luckily able to get that back and make the most out of today.”
