LAS VEGAS -- When Round 1 of the 2003 NASCAR Winston West Series thunders into action at Phoenix International Raceway, February 1-2, it will boast the combination of two of the best teams in racing today - Lynch Mob Motorsports and Orleans Racing. Utilizing the tuning ability and over-the-wall expertise of Orleans Racing, Lynch Mob Motorsports hopes to put their No .08 Yerf-Dog Dodge in the front of the field.
"I am really excited about this first race," says driver Scott Lynch, who took his first Winston West win at Las Vegas late last season. "Obviously, my goal is to bring home the Checkered Flag for Yerf-Dog and I think that working with Orleans Racing will definitely help us reach our goal. They won both the 2000 and 2001 Championships and that pretty much tells it all."
"I've been watching Scott Lynch for some time," says Orleans Racing's General Manager Shane Wilson. "He has an enormous amount of talent and I feel that he will go a long way in racing. Working with him on this season opener is a help to both of us. Not only is Lynch Mob Motorsports a first rate team and a pleasure to work with, but it gives our entire crew a great practice run prior to Daytona."
Racing for the past six years, Lynch has already made in presence known in the fast paced arena of stock car racing. "I have run three times at Phoenix," says Scott, "and my best finish to date has been a 3rd in the Featherlite Southwest Series. It is a fun track and definitely a driver's track. It is challenging with two opposite corners so you have set yourself up each lap. In short, you really have to be on your toes every step of the way or you can be in trouble." Page 2
Racing 150 laps/150 miles, racers will qualify on Saturday at 2PM and take the Green Flag on Sunday at 2PM MT. "We are ready," says Scott with a knowing smile. "We tested our Yerf-Dog Dodge the other day and it is definitely all systems go. Orleans Racing has it dialed in and I think we will have a strong race."
We are really pleased to carry the Yerf-Dog banner this year," says Jim
Lynch, Scott's father. Yerf-Dog is the largest supplier of Karts in the
United States today. Yerf-Dog Fun Karts range from Yerf-Pups to go carts
with
full suspension to provide outdoor recreation for kids of all ages. Yerf-Dog
Fun Karts are much like small dune buggies, and are great for desert fun or
in other open outdoor areas. Sporty brush guards and ATC balloon tires give
Yerf-Dog Fun Karts a sporty look with lots of performance. It is definitely
a privilege to be associated with a company of this caliber."
