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 34^th nationally.

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