Racing career
2014–2015: Michael Waltrip Racing
His first crew chief job came in 2014 when he worked for Michael Waltrip Racing as the crew chief for their No. 55 car driven by Brian Vickers. When Vickers was sidelined due to blood clots at the start of the 2015 season, Scott crew chiefed Michael Waltrip and Brett Moffitt. After Vickers briefly returned, he was sidelined again and was not cleared to race for the rest of the season. After fellow Toyota driver Kyle Busch returned from his injury in the Xfinity Series Daytona 300, his replacement in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing car, David Ragan, moved to MWR to fill in for Vickers in the No. 55 for the rest of the season. Scott and the team's other crew chief, Brian Pattie, would later switch their cars mid-season and Scott moved to the No.
