MOORESVILLE, NC (August 2, 2016) - For the first time this season HScott Motorsports with Justin Marks (HSMJM) will field five entries in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKNPSE). Joining Justin Haley, Hunter Baize, Tyler Dippel, and Harrison Burton will be NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Cole Custer. Custer will use Friday's NKNPSE Bully Hill Vineyards 100 as a tune-up for the upcoming NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on September 4.
HSMJM's four full-time drivers will be at the fast road course looking to score a win in the second road course event of the season. Haley finished second at the first road course event earlier this season at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). Dippel had a mechanical failure passing for the lead. Baize and Burton scored finishes of sixth and 11th respectively in their road course debuts.
The Bully Hill Vineyards 100 at Watkins Glen International is race number 11 in the chase for the NKNPSE championship, a championship that HSMJM's own Justin Haley currently leads. Baize enters Friday's race fifth in series points as well as the Rookie-of-the-Year points leader. Tyler Dippel and Harrison Burton both remain solidly in the top-10 in NKNPSE points.

Justin Haley, driver of the No. 5... Haley makes the trip to New York with plenty of road course experience. He spends many of his NASCAR off weekends racing a TransAm car on road courses. He finish second at VIR earlier this season in the first NKNPSE road course race of the season. He enters Friday's Bully Hill Vineyards 100 as a favorite. Following a fourth-place finish a Iowa Speedway last weekend, he remains the NKNPSE points leader.
Haley on Watkins Glen... "I always enjoy road courses but Watkins Glen is just a special one for me. I've always liked Watkins Glen (International), it's a ton of fun. I know my HScott Motorsports with Justin Marks guys will bring a fast car up there. I'm ready to get to work, it is going to be a great race."=

Harrison Burton, driver of the No. 12... Burton made his road course debut earlier this season at VIR. He impressed in that start, finishing 11th. He looks to improve on that finish this coming weekend at Watkins Glen International. He is currently ninth in NKNPSE points headed into the homestretch of the 2016 season.
Burton on Watkins Glen... "Watkins Glen is a pretty historic race track when you think about it. Lots of great race car drivers have raced there. It's one of the bigger NASCAR K&N Pro Series East events on the schedule and one that I really want to run well at, that's for sure. We haven't had the season we've wanted but I think we will have a really good DEX Imaging/Konica Minolta Toyota Camry this coming Friday."

Hunter Baize, driver of the No. 13... Baize also made his road course debut at VIR in April and did so in impressive fashion. He scored a 6th-place finish. That 6th-place finish was just one of the top-10 runs in what has been an impressive eight top 10 finishes in 10 NKNPSE races this season. Other than his teammate Justin Haley, Baize has been the most consistent driver in the series. He scored his first career top-five finish last weekend at Iowa Speedway and looks to build on that this weekend at the very fast Watkins Glen International. He now sits fifth in series points.
Baize on Watkins Glen..."If you would've told me at the beginning of this season that I would've been excited to go to Watkins Glen, I would've told you that you were crazy. The truth is, I really am looking forward to it. This No. 13 Bicycle Playing Cards HScott Motorsports with Justin Marks team is really clicking right now. Kris and the entire team are bringing awesome race cars to the race track and I'm starting to really feel comfortable behind the wheel. Our road course car is very fast, we proved that at VIR. So I can't help but be excited to get on track on Friday. Right now, we're having a lot of fun."

Other than Justin Haley, he is the only other HSMJM driver to visit victory lane. He did so at Mobile (Ala.) International Raceway on March 13. The Wallkill, N.Y., driver will look to repeat that performance in front of family and friends that are making the trip to Watkins Glen, N.Y. He sits sixth in series points.
Dippel on Watkins Glen... "I'm pretty excited to race at Watkins Glen. Our road course cars are very fast, I think we proved that at VIR. I think we have a really good shot at picking up our second win of the season and it would really mean a lot to not only me but this entire No. 38 EastWest Marine/TyCar team."
