Brian Scott will drive the No. 62 Premium Motorsports entry in the Daytona 500 (Feb. 22, 1 p.m. ET, FOX), Richard Childress Racing announced via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
Scott will pull double-duty in the opening weekend of the season. He will field his full-time No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR XFINITY Series season opener, the Alert Today Florida 300 (Feb. 21, 3:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1), before competing in the Daytona 500.
Scott has one career start in the Daytona 500, which came last year. After starting the race 12th, Scott finished in 25th-place driving the No. 33 Chevrolet.
In his career, Scott has seven Sprint Cup Series starts and scored his first Coors Light Pole Award in the premier series last spring at Talladega Superspeedway.
Scott will drive full time in the NASCAR XFINITY Series for the sixth straight season, and it is his third campaign with RCR. He finished fourth in the XFINITY Series standings in 2014.
