Scott Lynch

Put Scott Lynch in a competitive situation 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.” It is this attitude that makes Scott Lynch one of the top competitors in the NASCAR Winston West Series.

“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.” 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.

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. Lynch earned his first NASCAR Winston West victory at Las Vegas and took two top fives and four top 10 finishes.

Lynch attended the University of Utah, majoring in Communications and minoring in Business. “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.”
