Pine
Grove, Calif. – 17 year-old NASCAR Whelen All-American Series rookie Matt Scott
parlayed his fourth pole qualifying of the season into his second main event
win, Saturday night, at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.

 

The event
also earned the young driver valuable points in the Westcar Late Model Series.

 

Scott
out-qualified the 22 car field on hand for the Western Late Model division at
the one-third mile asphalt oval with a qualifying time of 13.953 seconds.

 

A pair of
44 lap features were on tap for the night, and Scott rolled off the grid eighth
in the first race after the invert.

 

Scott
methodically worked his way forward to fourth by lap 19, and the challenged
Juan Pitta all the way to the finish.

 

The
fourth place finish allowed Scott to start second in the second 44 lap feature
of the night.

 

Scott and
Ron Chunn traded the lead back and forth through several restarts. Scott
followed Chunn from laps 5-36 before taking the lead.

 

By the
time Scott made the decisive pass, he was in the midst of heavy lapped traffic
and had veteran John Moore on his bumper.

 

Scott
stayed calm and collected through the final laps to win his second career
feature in Late Model racing.

 

“Everything
just came together tonight,�?? Scott said. “We went back to our old setup and got
ourselves another win.�??

 

The
feature win gives Scott seven top-fives and 16 top-tens in 20 starts this season.
He is currently ranked sixth in the All American Speedway track points as the
leading rookie, and is tied for fourth in the Westcar Late Model Series.

 

Scott is
currently ranked ninth in the NASCAR California standings and 34th nationally.

 

The next
event up for Scott is a twin-feature billing next Saturday at All American
Speedway.
