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.

Dodge County 4-18-10

We teamed up with Rusty and Kollman Motorsports for 3 days of racing in Minnesota. We loaded both cars into his hauler and headed out.  On Friday, 4-16-2010 we barely made it in time for the draw cut off at Chateau Raceway. Its a track shaped like a paper clip so it has tight corners and faster straights.  The heat was tacky and the features a smooth dry slick.  Very nice racing conditions.   Scott Bintz got 3rd in the heat and 7th in the feature.  We missed the set up for the car and it was just too loose in the feature.  Brandon Davis picked up the feature win in the Wissota Midwest Modifieds.

On 4-17-2010 we headed to Deer Creek Speedway.  This is a beautiful track with box seating and the works.  The heats were tacky and the features a smooth dry slick.  Once again the perfect track conditions.  Scott was in the 1st heat and started 5th and finished 2nd.  It was a good run.  For the feature he was in the 5th starting spot.  At the beginning of the race Scott dropped back several spots and spent the rest of the race playing catchup and finished 6th.  Once again, we missed the ideal set up and the car was a little loose.  It was some great side by side 3 and 4 wide racing action.  Bryan Hernandez won followed by Brandon Davis.  That’s 2 nights in a row we put the race car back on the trailer in great condition.

On 4-18-2010 we went to Dodge County Speedway.  This is a smaller track with higher banking.   It was tacky in the heats and Scott picked up his first heat win of the season.  The feature was dry on the bottom and middle with a little tack on the top.  Scott started 7th and was hooked up pretty good.  On about lap ten (pictured above), Scott was battling for the lead with Shaun Walski and Brandon Davis.  On the last corner of the last lap, Scott was in 3rd and looped it.  Ultimately finishing 9th.  Shaun Walski went on the get the feature win followed by Davis.  We put the car on the trailer again in great condition!!  We are still fine tuning the car, but it is starting to work really well.  Special thanks to Strand Racing and the Millenium Nightmare Chassis.

Midwest Modified Driver Side

Here’s some pictures of the 2010 Millenium Nightmare Chassis built by Strand Racing.  The Dakota Engine Builders powered Millenium Nightmare Chassis has all the latest and great racing technology.  It is the same chassis that was driven by Dustin Strand, who captured the 2009 Wissota National Championship for the Midwest Modified class.   Scott is really jacked and looking forward to driving this new hot rod.  This is the first Millenium built by Brian and Dustin Strand for the 2010 season.  For more information on the Millenium Chassis visit www.strandracing.com.

Scott’s first race in this race car will be at a Wissota sanctioned race track sometime in April.  The car should be decaled and ready for some dirt in the next couple of weeks.  Stay tuned for more pictures after the car is decaled.

With 61 races totalling up 39 heat wins, 54 top 5′s and 30 feature wins, Dustin clinched the title on October 9th of 2009 at the Mississippi Thunder Speedway winning his 30th race of the year from the 8th starting position passing the 2008 Wissota National Champion on his way.

Here is a video of Dustin Strand racing his Adams powered Millenium Nightmare Chassis.  More info on Dustin Strand visit Strand Racing.

The old car is just plain wearing out.  It was built in 2002 by Hoffman Race Cars for Don Gumke and has been raced all over the country.  I hate to think about how many nights the chassis has on it.  It really needs to be retired.  Its fast but old.

Good news only, the new race car (well its new to me) that was wrecked at the Princeton Speedway on the 3rd night of racing is supposed to be back in action next week thanks to Strand Racing.  So the 02 hoffman (which was also updated by Strand Racing) just needs to last for about 4 more races.     Smile and Pass it On!!

Returning To Action Next Week

Scott Bintz Midwest Modified

The action at the Jamestown Speedway was fast.  About 30 Midwest Modifieds were there to Race.  Scott Bintz started outside pole of the fist MW Mod heat and won the heat.   The race car ran very well, with but was a little pushing mid corner.

A few tweeks to the set up and we were ready for the feature.  Scott started 2nd row inside.  Ryan Mikkelson grabbed the early led followed by Scott.  Dustin Strand made his way up and took the lead.  After a re-start Scott moved into 2nd and the rest of the race was spent trying to chase Strand down.  Towards the end, with a few laps to go, Scott was able to reel in the leader and had a good shot at winning.   But Strand, who earned 2nd in the Wissota 2008 National Points Standing was able to hang on to the lead for the win.

Here is the video from the feature.
