The weather was questionable on Friday May 20th, 2011 and we didn’t quite know where we would end up racing.  I-94 Speedway cancelled so we decided to head north and make the call on the way if we would run River Cities Speedway or Geographical Center Speedway.  

The down and dirty:   Won the heat and won the feature!!!

The long version:  After checking the weather one last time, we decided to try out luck at the Geographical Center Speedway.   Good call, because RCS cancelled due to rain.  On the draw and kept our luck and started outside pole.  Scotty took the lead and drove on to pickup up his 4th heat win of the season.  For the feature, the track was tacky but going dry.   Scott drew outside pole again and captured the early lead.  The race went caution free and we got pretty deep into lap traffic.  At the end, Scott took the checker picking up our first feature win of the season followed by #2 Rusty Kollman and #58 Shawn Nostdahl came in 3rd.  

Special props to all our sponsors, including Millenium Chassis for making fast race cars.

Geo Center Speedway Trophy Presentation

The down and dirty…. 3 heat wins, 2 feature wins & 1 feature rain out

Can’t believe we won every race we were in this weekend… wow.  The weekend started on Friday 6-4-10 with a trip up to the Geographical Center Speedway.  Scott started 4th in the 2nd heat.  Scott grab the early lead and won the heat.  The 20 lap feature was pretty tacky.  Scott started in the 5th position of the 20 lap feature.  Scott got the lead on about lap 4 and kept it the rest of the race.  There were a number of cautions and #97 Jim Morlock, who started 13th was hot on his trail but had to settle for 2nd as Scott drove the Dakota Engine Builders powered Millenium Nightmare Chassis into victory lane. 

On Saturday 6-5-10, we headed to our home track, the Jamestown Speedway.  Scott started 8th in the heat and powered his way up to the front for a heat win.  He did get a little help with one of the early leaders spinning out.  All the heat races were ran and then mother nature gave us a good rain storm.  The make up feature will be 6-19-10 as well as the previous makeup feature.

The weekend ended with a trip to the Sheyenne River Speedwayon Sunday 6-6-10.    Scott drew 99 and had to start and the back of the pack in the last heat.  After a hard fought battle with 24x Steve Ost, Scott grabbed the lead with about 3 laps to go and won the heat.  After the redraw, Scott was lined up in the 5th starting spot of the feature.  Scott slowly worked his way up and raced side by side #71 Nate Reinke for several laps until he got the lead on lap 7 working the low groove.  There was 1 caution with 10 laps to go.  On the re-start, #15 Flyin Ryan Mikkelson got the lead in corner 1 and 2, but Scott got in back in corner 3 and 4 and kepted it the last 9 laps and captured his first Wissota Midwest Modified win at the Sheyenne River Speedway making it the Scott Bintz Racing team’s 4th feature win of the 2010 season.

1s Scott Bintz Racing

The weekend of June 4th, 2009 started with a trip up to the Geographical Center Speedway in Rugby, ND.  Scott started the heat in 4th and took the lead in about 2 laps and won the heat.  The track was a little sloppy with some tack.  In the feature, Scott started 10th.  Within a few laps Scott made it to 3rd.  A few more laps later and he got the lead.  With about 2 laps to go, there was a caution by a tail end car.  On the restart Scott kept the lead on the first lap, with one lap to go, coming out of corner two, the car push a bit and Scott lost the lead.  Jim Morlock won the Race and Scott Bintz finished second.  If you have been counting, that’s the 3rd time we have lost the lead in Rugby on a caution, with 2 laps to go.  We skipped Saturday and made it a movie night since the Jamestown Speedway was rained out.   On Sunday, at BRRP (Buffalo River Race Park) in Glyndon, MN, we drew 174 out of 200.  Wasnt looking the best for a good starting position.  Scott was in the 3rd Midwest Modified heat of the night in the 5th spot for the heat.  After a few laps, he moved in the 3rd and finished the race there.  It was a tracky track and pretty much follow the leader.  For the feature, Scott started 4th.    The track was a little tacky but turned to dry slick pretty fast.  There were a few caution the first couple of laps.  After the race got going, Scott took the lead on about lap 7.  With 3 laps to go, there was a caution.  On the restart, Scott kept the lead.  Yes, can you guess it? with 1 lap to go, Scott was running the high side most of the race, got passed by Travis Saurer on a semi clean slide job from the bottom of the track and Scott finished the race 2nd.  However, two 2nd place feature finishes in a weekend of pretty good for 1s Scott Bintz Racing Team.   The last time we did got two 2nd place finishes this season, we won the next race.  Stay tuned.  View the Complete Scott Bintz Racing 2009 Results.

Shannon Bintz Tuning Tires

The weather was sunny but a little cool at the Geographical Center Speedway in Rugby, ND.  Shannon was the crew chief on this run.   Scott Bintz started 4th in the heat and blew the car off the track on the first lap.   Got back in the groove and won the heat.  Started on pole for the feature and lead most of the race.  On the last restarted, pushed up almost of the track and dropped back to 5th.  With 2 laps to go made it back to 3rd.  Great run all and all.   Ryan Mikkelson, won the feature followed by Jim Morlock.
