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: Brian Scott and Braun Racing (2010)
  This team was initially a part of the Braun Racing stable and debuted as the No. 11 Toyota Camry during the 2010 season with rookie Brian Scott running full-time. Brian Scott's family business Shore Lodge and Harry Scott Jr.'s AccuDoc Solutions served as the car's primary sponsors for a majority of the races. Scott's best finish with the team was a third-place effort at Chicagoland Speedway. Despite a somewhat successful season, Scott was released from the ride once Steve Turner bought the team in late September. Multiple drivers took over driving duties for the remainder of the season. James Buescher drove the car at Kansas, Fontana and Phoenix with Great Clips and Rexall sponsoring. David Reutimann drove with Rexall on the hood at Charlotte, Texas, and Homestead. Brad Sweet drove at Gateway with Great Clips sponsoring.
  Justin Allgaier (2011-2013)
  The team continued to run under the Turner stable in 2011, rebranded as the No. 31 Chevrolet Impala. Former Penske Racing driver Justin Allgaier drove the car full-time, and BRANDT Agriculture (headquartered in Allgaier's native Illinois) served as the team's primary sponsor for a majority of the season. For the races that BRANDT was not on the hood, the No. 31 was instead sponsored by Wolfpack Rentals, Chevrolet, SEM, Deft Finishes, Trademark Nitrogen, Florida Gulf Safe, Dollar General and RACERSITES.
   
  Justin Allgaier and the No. 31 team had an up and down year until earning a victory at Chicagoland Speedway. The race was won on fuel mileage when, with half a lap to go, leader Carl Edwards ran out of gas. Allgaier, who had been running second, passed Edwards. Going through the final corner, the No. 31 ran out of gas as well, but managed to have enough momentum to win the race. Allgaier finished the season third in driver points with six top fives and 17 Top 10s. The No. 31 team finished eighth in owner points.
  Allgaier and BRANDT returned for 2012. Allgaier stayed in the top five in points for most of the season. The team grabbed its first win of the year at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. On the last lap, Canadian Jacques Villeneuve had slowed to conserve fuel, allowing Allgaier to pull the bump-and-run and pass Villeneuve for the win.
  For 2013, Allgaier and BRANDT returned. It was announced in January 2013 that Scott Zipadelli would come on board as crew chief from RAB Racing. Though Allgaier would not win in 2013, he would finish 5th in points. Allgaier would move up to HScott Motorsports, run by co-owner Harry Scott Jr., in the Sprint Cup Series for the following season.
  Dylan Kwasniewski (2014)
  In 2014 Dylan Kwasniewski moved up from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East to drive the No. 31, bringing longtime sponsor Rockstar Energy, and running for Rookie of the Year. AccuDoc Solutions and Fraternal Order of Eagles acted as co-sponsors. Pat Tryson was announced as the crew chief, but was replaced mid-season with Shannon Rursch. With Kwasniewski running the No. 42 in standalone races, Chase Pistone replaced him in the No. 31 in the three Nationwide Series standalone oval races, while Justin Marks ran the car in the two Nationwide Series standalone road course races. Kwasnewski won the pole at the season opening DRIVE4COPD 300 and earned 3 top tens, often showing speed on the track. His rookie season, however, was marred by several crashes leading to four "Did Not Finishes" and an 11th-place points finish. The 31 team, meanwhile, finished 16th in owners points.
