Scott Wimmer at Red Barons game Friday

June 7, 2006 - International League (IL1)
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees News Release


Nascar driver Scott Wimmer and his #4 Aero Exhaust Chevy will be appearaing this Friday at Lackawanna County Stadium.

Wimmer's car will be on dispaly outside the front games from 6-8 p.m. He is scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at 6:45 p.m. and then sign autographs on the Bank Patio beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Scott Wimmer joined Morgan - McClure Racing in 2006 for the entire NEXTEL Cup Schedule racing the #4 Aero Exhaust Chevy as well as race in 13 BUSCH Races for Brewco Motorsoprts in the #66 Ford.

Wimmer, a Wausau, Wis., native, has found success in every series he has ever competed in. He carved his mark on the short tracks around Wisconsin throughout the 1990's and became recognized as a dominant force in racing around the Midwest, winning 17 times and claiming local and regional championships in a late model stock car between 1994 and 1996 before moving to Hooter's Pro Cup Series. But, Wimmer really caught the eye of top NASCAR owners after he entered the American Speed Association (ASA) and claimed victories in the first two races he competed in.

Wimmer tallied up two top five and eight top 10 finishes in his rookie year of the Busch Series that put him 11th in the championship standings. 2002 brought hopes of a Busch Series Championship. Wimmer posted strong finishes in the early part of the season, but hit his stride during the summer months when he posted four consecutive top-10 finishes in June. Wimmer scored his first Busch Series career win at the fall Dover race, and in the final seven races of the season posted wins at Memphis, Phoenix and Homestead. Wimmer finished the season up with four wins, 11 top five and 17 top 10 finishes and a career high third in the championship standings.

Tickets for the Red Barons game vs. Rochester are still available by calling 570-969-2255 or online at www.redbarons.com.
