Scott Lagasse Jr. (/ˈlæɡəseɪ/; born January 31, 1981) is an American professional driver. He currently drives the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro for Richard Childress Racing on a part-time basis. He also drives the No. 24 Toyota Camry for JGL Racing in the Xfinity Series on a part-time basis as well. He also drives the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado for GMS Racing in the Camping World Truck Series on a part-time basis. He is the son of former sports car and NASCAR driver Scott Lagasse Sr.
He is the owner of Scott Lagasse Racing (TeamSLR), which is located in St. Augustine, Florida. TeamSLR currently operates a Trans Am Road Race program, dirt late model race team, show car program and a NASCAR team. The team is currently building a new headquarters in St. Augustine.
Lagasse Jr. is a former member of Chip Ganassi Racing's driver development program. He has also driven in a total of 14 ARCA (Auto 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 8 Top 10, 5 Top 5 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 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 10 races in 2006 for Hamilton, with a season-best 18th-place finish at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
