The seventh-starting Scott overtook polesitter and hometown driver Charlie Sandercock on the sixth lap and led the rest of the 30-lap feature.
Scott won the title by 10 points over two-time and defending champ Greg Oakes of Franklinville, N.Y., who finished third in the main event.
Scott's teammate Chad Valone of Warren, Pa., advanced eight positions to finish second while Sandercock and Lee Gill of LaFrangeville, N.Y., rounded out the top five.
