NASCAR and college football collide during the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sept. 3 when driver Brian Scott will race the No. 11 Boise State Broncos Toyota.
The driver of the Joe Gibb Racing No. 11 NASCAR Nationwide Series entry grew up in Boise, Idaho, home to the celebrated Boise State Broncos. While Scott is competing in the 300-mile race on Saturday night, the Boise State Broncos will face the Georgia Bulldogs in a season-opening event at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
“For me, this is a huge honor because I was born and raised in Boise,” Scott said. “My dad graduated from Boise State, and I grew up literally a handful of miles from the football stadium. The rise and fame that the Boise football program has now has been so interesting to watch and fun to follow. I’m obviously a huge fan and really excited by the opportunity. It’s a unique opportunity that really grew out of the relationship with the Albertson Foundation and the “Go On” campaign to promote college attendance by high school students in Idaho.”
