Braxton Scott Scores Win on 16th Birthday

It was a birthday weekend to remember for Braxton Scott, a standout junior racer on the Right Trailers House Team—and the son of Right Trailers President, Michael Scott. On Sunday, June 1st, just one day before his 16th birthday, Braxton powered his way to victory at South Georgia Motorsports Park, lighting up the win light all the way to the winner’s circle.

But the road to the top wasn’t without a little family rivalry.

On Saturday, May 31st, Braxton found himself lined up against a familiar face in the first round: his younger sister, Rilee Scott. In a sibling showdown, it was Rilee who got the upper hand, knocking her big brother out early and adding a playful twist to the weekend’s racing narrative.

The next day, the pair were drawn against each other once again—this time in Sunday’s first round. With their father Michael sprinting between both staging lanes to help set up each of his kids, the moment was as frenzied as it was meaningful. This time, Braxton came out on top, and from there, he never looked back.

By the end of the day, Braxton had secured the win, capping off his weekend with a Wally and ringing in his 16th birthday on June 2nd in champion style.

Braxton’s win isn’t just a personal victory—it’s a celebration for the entire Right Trailers family. As a driver, teammate, and big brother, Braxton continues to embody the spirit of integrity, competition, and leadership that Right Trailers champions both on and off the track.
