- Scott will pilot the team’s No. 45, most recently used as a full-time entry with part-time drivers in 2024. In fact, since the founding of APR, the No. 45 had yet to have a full-time driver until this announcement.
- The 22-year-old made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut with APR in the No. 45 this past season. In two starts, Scott scored a 28th-place finish in his debut at Dover and a 19th-place finish later in the year at Gateway.
- Despite his limited time in the NASCAR National Series and no career Truck Series starts, Scott has been a fan favorite full-time driver in the ARCA Menards Series with Rev Racing.
- At the conclusion of the 2025 season, Scott scored his second consecutive second-place points finish in ARCA, scoring 11 top fives and 16 top tens along the way.
- Scott joins Brennan Poole as one of two announced full-time drivers for APR in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
