context_page_description: Turner Scott Motorsports, formerly Turner Motorsports was an American professional stock car racing team that last competed in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the Nationwide Series, the Camping World Truck Series, the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and the ARCA Racing Series. The team was based in Mooresville, North Carolina co-owned by Texas businessman Steve Turner and North Carolina businessman Harry Scott Jr.. The team fielded cars utilizing Hendrick Motorsports engines. Co-owner Scott also owned the unaffiliated Sprint Cup Series team HScott Motorsports.
  From 2003 through 2010, Turner Scott's Nationwide Series operations were those of Braun Racing, who for many years ran cars numbered 32 and 38 for Jason Leffler and Kasey Kahne with sponsors Great Clips and Fraternal Order of Eagles. The former-Braun operations also included entries of former Busch Series teams ppc Racing and Akins Motorsports.
  The team ceased operations following the 2014 season due to financial issues between co-owners Scott and Turner. After winning a lawsuit against Turner, Scott took the remaining equipment from the team to start HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi.
context_section_description: This team began as the No. 10 Nesquik Chevrolet for ppc Racing back in the year 2000. It was purchased by Braun Racing after the closing of ppc in 2007. Even after being bought by Braun, the car continued as the No. 10, often competing part-time. Braun Racing had also run a No. 30 car in the past, winning at Rockingham Speedway in 2004 with Jamie McMurray.
  After years of competing under the Braun Racing banner, Turner Scott Motorsports acquired the No. 10 team when they bought the team in September 2010. With Steve Turner now owning the team, Ricky Carmichael, James Buescher, Scott Wimmer, and Jason Leffler filled the seat for the remainder of the season.
  Multiple drivers (2011)
  In 2011, the team ran full-time as the No. 30 Chevrolet Impala with a multitude of drivers. Leffler drove the No. 30 with Accudoc Solutions, Wolfpack Rentals and Great Clips sponsoring the eight races that Kasey Kahne ran Leffler's normal No. 38. James Buescher drove in nine races with ABF Freight System, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Accudoc Solutions, Sporting Kansas City and Exide Batteries sponsoring the car. Ricky Carmichael drove the car with Monster Energy at Road America, Daytona, and Richmond. Ryan Newman drove the No. 30 with Dollar General on board at Phoenix. Reed Sorenson drove the No. 30 at Las Vegas, California, Michigan, and Kentucky with little success. Mikey Kile drove the No. 30 for five races with Accudoc and Battery Tender serving as sponsors. In addition to his driving duties in the No. 38 Turner Scott Motorsports car, Kahne drove the No. 30 entry at Charlotte in the spring and Chicagoland in the fall. Boris Said drove at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve with Great Clips sponsorship. Nelson Piquet, Jr. drove the car at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Eddie Pardue stayed with Leffler when he transitioned between the No. 30 and No. 38, while Stewart Cooper worked with Kahne and the other drivers. The car ended up 18th in owner points with two top fives and 10 top 10s. The car's best run was at Lucas Oil Raceway when Buescher finished 2nd.
  James Buescher and others (2012)
  In 2012, the No. 30 team returned. Buescher drove the car for 20 races, winning the season opener in Daytona. Steve Arpin would drive at Texas and Iowa, while Nelson Piquet, Jr. ended up winning at Road America. Leffler returned to the car at Iowa and Phoenix, Alex Bowman drove at Chicago and Dover. Miguel Paludo, Alex Tagliani, Newman, and Dakoda Armstrong each drove the car for one race apiece. The team would finish 11th in owner points.
  Nelson Piquet Jr. (2013)
  In 2013, Piquet drove the No. 30 full-time to compete for Rookie of the Year, scoring only 5 top 10s, and finishing 12th in points. In 2014 Danica Patrick ran the 30 in the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona.
