Ownership Issues at TSM


Harry Scott and Steve Turner appear to have different opinions when it comes to the operation of their co-owned race team Turner Scott Motorsports. Turner Scott Motorsports operates in the Nationwide Series with car No.31 driven by Dylan Kwasniewski and car No. 42 driven by Kyle Larson. They also operate a Camping World Truck Series with truck No. 30 driven by Ron Hornaday, Jr. along with No. 31 driven by Ben Kennedy and the No. 32 truck. Harry Scott recently flew down to Texas to meet with Steve Turner to discuss their differences. According to a report by Fox Sports Ray Dunlap the meetings did not go well and it was reported that TSM had suspended operations of their Truck Series teams.

Wednesday afternoon Harry Scott released the following statement
“Turner Scott Motorsports remains in operation and will compete in this weekend’s NASCAR events. TSM’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race teams represented by the No. 42 driven by Kyle Larson and the No. 31 driven by Dylan Kwasniewski will complete this weekend as scheduled at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“The No. 31 driven by Ben Kennedy and the No. 32 driven by Cameron Hayley in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will compete as scheduled at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park this coming Sunday.

“My investment company, a co-owner of TSM, will continue to do all that it can to keep the team moving forward with or without our business partner Steve Turner. To all TSM employees, sponsors, partners and fans I pledge we will continue to do what we can to keep the teams racing hard each and every week of the season.”
