JD Motorsports with Gary Keller (JDM) is proud to announce that St. Augustine, FL native Scott Lagasse Jr. will step foot behind the wheel of the No. 4 Chevrolet Camaro SS at the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) season opener in Daytona.

Lagasse, who is the son of road course ace Scott Lagasse Sr., has starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, and the ARCA Racing Series, where he earned two wins. His NXS career highlights include six top 10 finishes and four laps led. In 2006, Scott was tabbed to become a part of Chip Ganassi Racing’s development program for races in ARCA, trucks, and NXS competition.

Along with his starts in NASCAR, Scott has honed his skills racing Trans Am sports cars on road courses throughout North America. This race in Daytona will be his first Xfinity Series race since 2017, and he is very excited to be back. His last Daytona 300 in 2017, resulted in a 6th place finish. Scott is coming off of four straight top 10 finishes in the NGOT Series at Daytona.

“I’m excited to work with the entire JD Motorsports Team. Johnny Davis is an experienced and proven owner who has built an impressive organization one brick at a time. I have huge respect for what he has accomplished and grateful for the opportunity to work with he and his team.. It’s great to get back in a Xfinity Series car. I’m looking forward to representing Johnny as well as Rimrock Devlin with another solid Daytona race.” quoted Scott before the week leading up to Daytona.

Rimrock Devlin, a commercial developer based out of Jacksonville, FL, will be serving as primary sponsor for Scott’s No. 4 outing, a partnership that is confident in JD Motorsports’ ability to provide a fast car capable of running at the front of the pack.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series season kicks off on Saturday, February 16th, with the running of the NASCAR Racing Experience 300 at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Be sure to tune into FOX Sports 1 to see Scott behind the wheel of the No. 4 Camaro SS.
