Lavar Scott Set for NASCAR Xfinity Series Debut with Alpha Prime Racing

Lavar Scott, the 21-year-old currently competing in ARCA Menards Series — will make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut with Alpha Prime Racing at Dover this month.

Alpha Prime Racing announced Scott will pilot the No. 45 Chevrolet with backing from Foxxtecca. The New Jersey-born driver is also scheduled to appear at Gateway on September 6th.

“Let’s go Xfinity racing. So happy to finally announce this. This is been something I have been working on and trying to achieve for a very long time. Can’t wait to make my debut at Monster Mile!” Scott shared on social media.

In his ARCA career with Rev Racing, Scott has shown impressive consistency — recording 21 top-five and 29 top-ten finishes in 35 races, while leading 186 laps. Though yet to secure a victory, he has claimed two runner-up finishes at Berlin Raceway and Elko Speedway.

Alpha Prime Racing has previously utilized several drivers for the No. 45 car this season:

• Mason Massey
• Brad Perez
• Caesar Bacarella
• Vicente Salas

The team’s best result came from Bacarella who finished 13th in the season opener at Daytona.
