Jamestown Speedway 7-17-10

Here’s the down and dirt on the latest racing action.  On 7-16-10 we went to Norman County Raceway for the first time this season and got 5th in the heat and 5th in the feature from 11th.  Was a fun trip… just took a little long in the feature to get into the groove of things.  On 7-17-10, we raced Jamestown Speedway and won the heat from 5th and finished 6th in the feature.  Very good smooth track, just missed the set up a little.  We also had a make up feature.  Scott moved up pretty fast and got the lead about lap ten and lost it with about 2 to go.  Was a very exciting race and we ultimately finished 3rd.  On -7-18 we head to the Sheyenne River Speedway and won the heat and finished 3rd in the feature.  Fun was had and we put the car on the trailer in good condition…….

Bintz & Mikkelson Racing for Lead in Makeup Feature

Then we went to the Red River Valley Speedway on Weds 7-21-10.  We drew 175 out of 200 and started in the back of the 2nd heat.  The track was super slimmy, so Scott pulled of after a lap.  No since wrecking because of track conditions.  This put Scott starting in the back of the feature in 16th.  The track was coming around and there was some good racing.   We missed the set up, but Scott was able to move up some until the last lap, we he slowed up and dropped to 13th.   Thanks again for all the support from our sponsors and fans.   Up next….  heading to I-94 Speedway on 7-22, the Jamestown on 7-23 and finally Sheyenne River Speedway on Sunday 7-24-10.

Matt & Joey Setting Up Car

We made a quick trip down to the Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo on Wednesday June 2nd 2010 for their second race of the season. 25 Wissota midwest modifieds showed up to race. Scott started 8th in the second race. Scott was charging hard and made it up to 3rd, but the car had a really bad push and we fell back to 6th. In the feature, Scott started 17th and finished 6th. We picked the wrong set up for the track and the car once again had a really bad push. We were very lucky to move up 11 spots.  #15 Ryan Mikkelson won the feature, followed by #99 Cale Arneson.

2009 Scott Bintz Racing Midwest Modified Summary
Heat Wins: 13 | Feature Wins: 4 | Top 5’s: 21 | Top 10’s: 9

The weekend plans on Friday August 14th, 2009 began with plans to race River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND.  However, with a rain out we headed to the Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, ND.  Scott started 4th in the heat and on the started dropped back several spots.  After he completed a few laps he started moving up again and finished 3rd.  Then the rain came and the races we cancelled.

On Saturday August 15th, 2009, we headed back to Jamestown for some racing at the Jamestown Speedway.  At 4pm this was a pretty good down pour of rain but the track was able to work it in.  32 MW Mods showed up for the race.  There were 4 heats with 8 cars in each.  Scott Bintz start on pole in the 4th heat.  Scott got the earlier lead and kept it through three cautions.  Very tacky track in both the heat and feature.  On the starting lap of the feature, Scott got spun and into the mud he went in the center of the track.  On the restart he moved into 5th pretty quickly and after several laps into 4th.  The 3rd place runner dropped out so Scott got into third for the last few laps of the race.  On a restart with 4 to go, Scott got passed at the end by Austin Arneson (who was bad fast and had been sent tail end at the beginning of the race) and wound up finishing 4th.  John Corell led most of the race but bobbled on the last lap.  Dustin Strand won, followed by Corell and Austin Arneson.  On a side note, the heat winners got spots 1-4 in the feature.

On Sunday, we went to BRRP, Buffalo River Race Park in Glyndon, MN.  Scott started 4th in the 4th heat and moved up a car a time and got the lead.  He won the heat by about a straight away as the car was pretty hooked up.  In the feature, he started 7th.  On the first corner, Scott spun out and got sent tail end.  After that the Midwest Mods went 15 laps without a caution and Scott moved up from 20th to finish 10th.  Car worked well, but the spin out on the first lap didn’t help.  Travis Saurer won the feature.
