Scott Lagasse Jr.

Racing career Lagasse Jr. is a former member of Chip Ganassi Racing's driver development program. He has also driven in a total of 14 ARCA (Automobile Racing Club of America) races in 2006, 2007, 2008 for Cunningham Motorsports and Venturini Motorsports, winning twice – Kansas and Chicagoland Speedway. In 2003 and 2004, besides graduating from college with honors, he was racing dirt cars and competed on a limited schedule in the ASA National Touring Series. In just 12 starts, Lagasse racked up eight top-tens, five top-fives and a win at Kentucky Speedway. From 1998 through 2002 he won over 25 races on dirt and asphalt in modifieds, Sportsman and late models.

Lagasse made his NASCAR Busch Series debut at the Phoenix International Raceway in 2005. He started 33rd while driving the No. 40 Dodge for FitzBradshaw Racing and he finished 40th after he was involved in a crash on the 81st of 200 laps. His best starting position in a part-time season was 18th at the Dover International Speedway, and his best finish was 22nd at the Milwaukee Mile. Lagasse originally was signed by Ganassi for the 2006 Busch Series season, and Dodge wanted to keep him in their camp, so it moved him to a third Truck team at Bobby Hamilton Racing after Ganassi failed to secure sponsorship. He appeared in ten races in 2006 for Hamilton, with a season-best 18th-place finish at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

In 2007, Lagasse made two Busch Series starts in the No. 41 Juicy Fruit Dodge for Chip Ganassi Racing, and he drove the No. 16 Truck for Xpress Motorsports at Dover, finishing 21st.

Lagasse drove the No. 20 Ford for JTG Racing in the first eight races of the 2008 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season; the No. 11 Toyota for 21 NASCAR Nationwide Series races with CJM Racing in 2009, where he posted three top-ten finishes; and the No. 43 Nationwide Ford for 14 races for Baker Curb Racing in 2010, with a season-best eighth-place finish at Phoenix.

Lagasse drove his own SLR Chevrolets in 2012 and 2013, concentrating on both Nationwide Series races at the Daytona International Speedway and the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, before making two Nationwide starts in 2014 and 2015.

In 2017, Lagasse joined JGL Racing's No. 24 car at Daytona and also drove the No. 24 truck for GMS Racing in replacement of an ineligible Justin Haley. Later in the year, he was the part-time driver of Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Xfinity team, splitting the ride with Ty Dillon.

After not racing in the series in 2018, Lagasse returned to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2019, driving the No. 4 Chevrolet for JD Motorsports at Daytona. He made his Truck return a year later at the Daytona road course event for On Point Motorsports.

Cancer survivor In 2015, Lagasse had surgery for colon cancer. He used a bond with fellow-cancer patient Reece King, who fought a rare form of leukemia for three years. Both celebrated their remission by sharing the stage during driver introductions before the 2016 Subway Firecracker 250 Xfinity Series race at the Daytona International Speedway. Lagasse since has forged a relationship with Stand Up to Cancer.

Personal life Lagasse was born on January 31, 1981, in St. Augustine, Florida. He attended St. Joseph Academy Catholic High School. As a student, Lagasse played basketball before graduating with a Florida academic scholarship. Lagasse Jr. graduated with honors from Flagler College in 2004, while competing in the American Speed Association National Touring Series. In 2015, he established a charity bike event at Daytona International Speedway. 2007 Chip Ganassi Racing 41 Dodge DAY CAL MXC LVS ATL BRI NSH TEX PHO TAL RCH DAR CLT DOV NSH KEN
