HScott Motorsports informed its
employees last week that the organization will not field a NASCAR entry during
the 2017 season.
"Over the past several months, I considered a number
of options for moving forward with the team,” said team owner Harry Scott, Jr.,
in a written statement. “Regrettably, there are no viable sponsor/driver
options immediately available to allow the team to participate in 2017. One
thing I learned about NASCAR is that it is a 'people business.' I will forever
be grateful to the men and women who worked tirelessly to make HScott Motorsports
successful. This includes our dedicated employees, sponsors and partners. We
were fortunate to have the support of world-class sponsors like Brandt, DC
Solar, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Pilot Flying J, and 5 hour ENERGY. Our racing
program would not have been possible without the assistance of Rick Hendrick,
Hendrick Motorsports, and Chevrolet."
The charter owned by HScott Motorsports
and used by its No. 15 team this season has been sold to Premium Motorsports.
The charter that was leased for the No. 46 team was sold by Premium Motorsport
to Furniture Row Racing.
"I love this sport and being part of it,” said
Scott. “I invested in NASCAR because I truly believe it represents the best
racing competition in the world and the best people in all sports. Looking
back, I will always be especially proud of the unprecedented success of our
NASCAR K&N Series teams, including four consecutive championships and for
the lifelong friendships that were forged over the last seven years.
"My hope is
that we were able to develop drivers that will thrive at the highest levels for
years to come.”
