Harry Scott has moved on from his partnership with Steve Turner.
Scott announced on Thursday the formation of two new entities: HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi and HScott Motorsports with Justin Marks. Scott will continue his Sprint Cup operation with Justin Allgaier behind the wheel.
Scott’s alliance with Ganassi will provide a home for his former No. 42 team Nationwide effort. However, the 2015 Xfinity Series team will now feature a combined effort for Kyle Larson and Dylan Kwasniewski and be based out of Ganiassi’s Sprint Cup shop in Concord, N.C.
“The HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi partnership formalizes a relationship that has been in the making for a couple of years,” Scott said in the release. “This is a first step of a partnership that will further develop drivers and provide even more excitement in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.”
Veteran crew chief Mike Shiplett will oversee the operation. Shiplett spent four seasons as a Cup crew chief and three years in NNS. He earned two wins with Kasey Kahne in the Nationwide Series in 2007. Shiplett spent stints with Richard Petty Motorsports and Turner Scott Motorsports prior to his recent assignment.
“We have had a great relationship with Harry over the past couple of years and bringing this program into our shop is something that we feel benefits both teams,” Ganassi said. “We feel that our expertise on both the competition and the business side can help grow the program both on and off the track.”
