Scott Taylor (born September 15, 1955) is a retired American professional off-road racing driver from Belvidere, Illinois.
His off-road racing career began in 1974 with buggies and his career peaked in the premiere two-wheel-drive truck class called Pro2 .
He retired from driving after the completion of the 2013 Traxxas TORC Series (TORC) Heavy Metal race at Crandon. Taylor won championships during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s in the series that sanctioned off-road racing in the Midwestern United States.
He racked up championships in Short-course Off-road Drivers Association (SODA), SCORE International, ESPN PRO Series, Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) and World Series of Off-Road Racing (WSORR).
Taylor won six consecutive Pro 2 championships in CORR between 1999 and 2004.
He was the first two-wheel-drive truck winner of the Heavy Metal Challenge (now AMSOIL Cup) world championship race at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway in 2002; he repeated the win in 2008. Taylor raced with Ford Motor Company vehicles for much of his professional career and he joined the "Ford Rough Riders" group near the end of their five-year promotion in 1995.
While a professional driver, he used Roush Racing engines (later Roush-Yates engines).
