Scott Lynch Driver Bio
Put Scott Lynch in a competitive situation...whether it be behind the wheel
of his No. 08 Lynch Mob Motorsports/Yerf-Dog sponsored NASCAR Winston West
Dodge�or in any other type of competition�and he has one goal in mind...to
finish first!
"I've always liked going fast and I definitely have a competitive nature,"
smiles Lynch "I'm extremely goal oriented and prefer being a leader rather
than a follower." And, it is this attitude that makes Scott Lynch one of the
top competitors in the NASCAR Winston West Series.
A senior at the University of Utah, Lynch has been competing professionally
for the past six years. In fact, he broke into one of the local NASCAR
racing series just three days after his 16th birthday, taking the Modified
Division at the Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls, Idaho.
"I loved it from the word go," explains Lynch, who was born and raised in
Burley, Idaho. "And as soon as I got behind the wheel, I knew I wanted to
pursue a career in racing." Running locally for the next three years Scott
began to carve a definite name for himself, earning numerous honors and
accolades along the way.
Continuing his charge up the ladder of success, Lynch next moved into the
NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Series and began carving a name for himself.
Finishing 10th in the overall point standings, he also took home the Rookie
of the Year title. Last season, entering five out of ten races, Lynch earned
his first NASCAR Winston West victory at Las Vegas and took two top fives and
4 top 10 finishes.
In addition to his racing career, education is an extremely important factor
in this twenty-two year olds life. Graduating from high school, Lynch now
attends the University of Utah where he is majoring in communications with a
minor in business. "Both Communication and business are a big part of
racing," continues Lynch "You can no longer just show up at the track and go
fast, you have to be able to continually interface with sponsors. media and
fans. In short, racing today is a business and the more knowledge you have,
the better your chance of success. The time I have spent in college has
really helped and I wouldn't trade my education for anything."
Constantly on the go, Lynch doesn't spend much time sitting around. When not
working on his racing career or going to school, he can be found working in
the family business, snowboarding, enjoying a variety of water sports and
other outdoor activities.
"We are an extremely close family," continues Lynch. "My younger brother
also races and we both go to each other's events. Our family is right there
every race cheering us on and that makes it really special."
A young upcoming talent, there is no doubt that Scott Lynch will go a long
was in the world of NASCAR.
