Brian Scott isn't one to let adversity hand him lemons.

In fact, Scott, who won his first series race earlier this season at Dover International Speedway, has done more than make lemonade.

He's driven the past three races while a broken wrist heals and hardly has missed a beat.

The Idahoan picked up a top five at Milwaukee and Memphis and finished sixth at Kentucky Speedway despite cutting down a tire early in the race and bouncing off the outside barrier.

Scott stands fifth in series points standings and figures to be a championship contender all the way to the series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November.

"Really, this finish is just a testament to the determination of this Xpress Motorsports team," said Scott following his most recent outing. "These guys hung in there and worked their tails off every pit stop to try and get our truck competitive and get me a decent finish. I can't say enough about their efforts."

Scott refuses to use his wrist as an excuse. In fact, the 21-year-old competitor sees the injury as motivation.

"My wrist definitely didn't bother me as much as it had in the last two races. I don't know if it has had time to recover or if it's the difference between a short track and a big track," he said. "It's getting better, but it's still a little bit of a handicap, really more of a nuisance, a bother. Maybe I'll get used to it and I won't even notice it's there anymore."
