After that, he would start competing in dirt racing events. At Penns Grove High School, he competed in wrestling. In 2021 and 2022, Scott drove for Rev Racing in legends car racing and late model racing at tracks such as Hickory Motor Speedway. He won his first late model race in 2021 at Hickory. He competed in two FB Bhon Mikel's Truck Series races in Mexico in 2021 (alongside his Rev Racing/Drive for Diversity teammate Regina Sirvent) and won one of those races. ARCA On January 13, 2023, it was announced that Scott would drive full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East and part-time in the main ARCA Menards Series (as a result of the East Series having four combination races with the East Series) in 2023, driving the No. 6 car for Rev Racing. He would also compete in one non-combination main ARCA race in the season-opener at Daytona, replacing Andrés Pérez de Lara in Rev's No. 2 car due to Pérez de Lara, the full-time driver of that car, still being 17 and therefore ineligible to run the race.

His older brother raced in quarter midget racing events at nearby Airport Speedway in nearby New Castle, Delaware at a young age.
