Scott Bintz Feature Win Jamestown Speedway 6-27-09
Luck finally stuck the Scott Bintz Racing team on 6-27-09 at the Jamestown Speedway with the 2nd Feature win of the season. After the tornado out at the River Cities Speedway the night before. On Friday to prepare the car we had to put the 02 Hoffman chassis on the frame rack at Klein’s Collision Center. The team was excited to race and see how the race car would react after getting tweeked on the frame rack. 29 Midwest Modifieds showed up to race for the night. Scott Bintz was in the 1st Midwest Modified heat starting in the 4th position. It was some what of a rough heat with a few cautions. After the first caution, Scott was in 3rd. After a the racing resumed he made it up to 2nd and as usual was passed by Dustin Strand, who won the heat.
For the feature, Scott was on pole and led the feature from flag to flag. However, after 10 laps there was a caution and Ryan Mikkelson followed by Jerry Theis were hot on his tail. Mikkelson almost made a pass for the lead. After another caution, Dustin Strand, the 2008 Wissota National Champion Runnerup, moved in to 2nd and with 7 laps to go was driving hard for the lead. At one point, Strand moved ahead of Scott. It was a nail biter on the last lap but Scott was able to cross the checkered flag a fender ahead of strand. If you would like to watch the video of the race will, it be posted later today. For more details on the race and an interview by the Jamestown Sun, see the Jamestown Sun’s Article.
Scott was also on Dirt Talk Radio on 6-28-09 and that can be heard on NewsDakota.Com in the sports archive area.
On Sunday 6-28-09 the team went to the Buffalo River Race Park and finished 2nd in the heat and 6th in the feature. The heat was somewhat of a wreckfest with heavy damage on both sides of the car. Scott started 5th and finished 2nd. With some help from the Brent Weight’s pit crew, we made it out to the feature. Starting 3rd in the feature, Scott fell back to about 10th after the first lap as it was a train on the high side of the track. Bintz slowly moved up and finished 6th. The feature winner was Rich Pavlicek.
Ending the month in Lisbon at the Sheyenne River Speedway got off to a bumpy start. In the heat started 6th and started moving up and then got pinched out and had to let off which resulted in finishing 7th. For the feature started 13th and finished 3rd. There were to cautions in a row after the 2nd lap and then it was caution free for the rest of the race. Scott was making the pass for 2nd as the race ended but didn’t quite make it.

We rushing to get the car ready to race up at the River Cities Speedway and hit the road about 3:45pm. We arrived just in time to unload the car and prepare for hot laps. During hot laps the car was working pretty good.
Then….. around 7 pm the storm rolled in. We were told a tornado touched down about 8 miles east of Grand Forks, ND and we heading towards town. Then a few minutes later, a tornado was sighted 4 miles east of town. We packed up the race car and hit the road headed south. It seems like the storm was growing both east and south. We were on the edge of the storm all the way to Hillsboro, ND until we finally drove away from it. Getting sheets of rain on the drive.
We arrived back home in Jamestown, just in time to get down poured on again as it was raining pretty hard as we drove into town. Hopefully Jamestown Speedway will have a nice night for racing on saturday.

One of the more popular pickup truck upgrades or enhancements is a tonneau cover. Whether you are using your truck for work or leisure, a truck is not as functional or complete unless it has a tonneau. However, a tonneau cover can be an expensive purchase and there are some important questions you should ask yourself when you are considering buying a tonneau.

The brakes went out again in Lisbon this past Tuesday 6-9-09 at the Sheyenne River Speedway. This time the right rear brake caliper mount on the bird cage spun and pulled the brake lines. Guess when we fixed the left side, we should have checked out the right side a little closer. Started 6th in the heat and after about 3 laps lost the brakes. Managed to finish 4th. Tried to do a quick fix for the feature on the brakes. Started the feature and moved up a bit, got a right front flat, the pit crew got it changed and we had to start at the back. Got going again and moved up quite a bit… then lost the brakes and had to pull off and call it a night.
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
