Pine Grove, Calif. – 17 year-old honor student Matt Scott just recently put the wraps on his Rookie of the Year season in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Western Late Models at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.

Scott ended the season with his third feature win of the year over a field of 22 entrants on Saturday September 12.

It was an outstanding season for the rookie to NASCAR racing, on the heels of his 2008 Legends of the Pacific championship. Scott accumulated four poles including a track-record qualifying time, three wins, 12 top-fives, and 23 top-tens in 28 starts.

“I would like to thank all the fellow competitors, crews, and the officials at All American Speedway for a great racing season,” Scott said. “I would also like to congratulate Jason Romero on his championship season and Jacob Gomes on winning national Rookie of the Year.” 

His performance earned him the third best rookie in the NASCAR Whelen Series, along with being ninth in the state of California, 44th in the nation, and the top 17 year-old in the entire Whelen Series.

He also finished fifth in the track points standings to earn Rookie of the Year, along with fifth in the Westcar Late Model Series standings.

“I am looking forward to my future in motorsports, just taking it one step at a time to get to the next level and accomplish my goals,” Scott said. “This season was better than I could have ever imagined.”

Matt Scott is currently looking for sponsorship support for the 2009 All American Speedway Classic on October 9, 10, and 11, and the Toyota All-Star Showdown Late Model 75 on January 29 and 30.

Matt and his team are also working on plans for the 2010 racing season and hope to have more details soon on the website.
