🇺🇸 Dane Scott

Dane Scott is a semi-professional racing driver who competes in American single-seater racing. In 2023, his sole indexed season, he drove for Jay Howard Driver Development in US F4 and made a single start in USF2000. His rating of 2,543 places him among semi-professional entrants, a level describing drivers who race regularly against professionals and established amateurs but typically finish outside the points or on the lower rungs of a competitive grid.[1]

Scott's 2023 campaign comprised eight starts in US F4 and one appearance in USF2000, across which he finished 21st in the USF2000 championship standings. He was a regular presence against entry-level professionals including Patrick Woods-Toth, the 2023 US F4 champion, and Jesse Lacey, against both of whom he typically finished behind. His most notable result came when he beat the professional Max Garcia, a driver who would go on to win the 2024 USF2000 title and subsequently race in higher categories including Indy NXT.[2]

Scott raced in fields mixing amateurs with graded professionals, a common format in junior single-seaters. The strongest drivers he encountered had already proven themselves at entry-level professional and professional levels, setting a clear bar above where his own results placed him. He has not raced since 2023.
