Scott Andrew Fraser (October 20, 1970 – March 20, 2004) was a Canadian professional racing car driver from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. Fraser was considered by many to be one of the best stock car racers in Canada.
Fraser made his racing debut in the street stock division at Onslow Speedway in Truro, Nova Scotia at the age of 16, setting the record for wins in a season. He ran off and on at Onslow for the next four seasons.
In 1992 he moved on to the Open-Wheel Modified division at Scotia Speedworld in Enfield, Nova Scotia. In his rookie season he won the series championship.
Between 1993 and 1994 Fraser ran three American Canadian Tour races, scoring top fives in all three races, including a win at Scotia Speedworld.
Fraser made his MASCAR debut at the 1991 Moosehead Grand Prix. Fraser was running up front in the event after starting third in the MASCAR Division before being forced out of the race with transmission issues. The next season, he entered the race for the second straight year, this time finishing 2nd.
From 1994 to 1998 Fraser won five straight Riverside 250's at Riverside International Speedway, setting a race record for both most wins and for consecutive wins.
In 1996 Fraser had what was arguably the best season in the history of Maritime racing, winning 12 of 15 races, including 9 straight, cruising to his first MASCAR championship. He led 58.9% of the total laps run in the 1996 season.
The next season Fraser ran a limited MASCAR schedule, winning four of the six races he entered.
Fraser returned to the series full-time in 1998, putting up an average finish of 2.7, while winning 6 of 13 races on his way to his second career MASCAR championship.
At the end of the 1998 season Fraser decided to partner with Rollie MacDonald forming King Racing. Scott drove the car, while Rollie served as team owner and car chief.
In February 1999 the team entered the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna, Florida. The World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing consisted of ten straight nights of races. Fraser set the fast time in five and won two of the ten main events, finishing third in the overall points standings.
