HScott Motorsports has suspended operations and will not compete in NASCAR in 2017. The charter it leased for the No. 46 team of former driver Michael Annett from Premium Motorsports has been sold by Premium to Furniture Row Racing, which is adding a car for Erik Jones next season. The HScott No. 15 team (formerly Clint Bowyer) charter was sold to Premium Motorsports. Team owner Harry Scott: "Over the past several months I considered a number of options for moving forward with the team. Regrettably there are no viable sponsor/driver options immediately available to allow the team to participate in 2017. One thing I learned about NASCAR is that it is a ‘people business.' I will forever be grateful to the men and women who worked tirelessly to make HScott Racing successful. … I love this sport and being part of it. I invested in NASCAR because I truly believe it represents the best racing competition in the world and the best people in all sports."
