In 2005 the team focused solely on the Nationwide Series and since has continued to grow his organization. The team has grown so much that Braun Racing announced Monday that the team would have four entries in the 2010 Nationwide Series season, and that Brain Scott would driver the fourth and new car.

"It's been a great ride, from where we started as a no-name ARCA team in 2002, to where we are today, It's been a lot of hard work, but it's something I am very proud of. Expanding into a four-car team is not something I ever fathomed, but I have a great group of hard-working, dedicated people behind me that have helped to make it happen. We also have the support of our outstanding marketing partners and without them, we wouldn't be here. To say that I am proud of what we have all built together is an understatement. We welcome Brian Scott to the team and we're looking forward to a very successful year in 2010." --Todd Braun

Braun Racing is an outstanding organization, with first-rate equipment and an extremely talented crew and staff. As a driver entering his first season of full-time competition in the Nationwide Series, you can't ask to be in a better situation. Daytona can't get here fast enough for me!" -- Brain Scott
