Robinson finishes 11th in Redbud 300

July 21, 2013 - Brett Robinson posted an 11^th place finish in the ARCA Redbud 300 Saturday Night.

It was a good run for the Boot Scoot Bar and Grill racing team, after running in the top eight most of the night.

“I was so glad to get back in the car again after sitting out the last three races due to lack of funding and it didn’t take long to knock the rust off”, said Brett Robinson.

The Brett Robinson Racing/Boot Scoot Bar and Grill Monte Carlo stalked the leaders for 250 laps and was in position to make a move when a piece of debris cut down the right rear tire with 50 laps remaining. Brett recovered to get an 11^th place finish.

“It was a great night until 50 laps to go but that is racing”, said Brett, “It was an excellent experience and I can’t thank Boot Scoot Bar and Grill enough for the opportunity. I can’t wait until Friday to go to Indy and put this fast Chevrolet in victory lane in front of the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series drivers and fans. It will be a packed house! We are running on Friday night Nationwide runs on Saturday and Sprint Cup on Sunday.

It will be great exposure for our Boot Scoot Race team. Thanks to everyone involved for making this possible. Tune into Speed 51’s website for live radio coverage if you can’t make it to the track.

BRETT ROBINSON RACING TEAM finishes 12th out of 143 competitors in final point standings

-         Brett Robinson the 19 yr.old out of New Albany IN. in his first season with the ARCA/CRA Super Series had a remarkable freshman year leading laps and battling for wins. Brett did a fantastic job for us; we led laps at Springport, were passing for the lead at Shady Bowl, in contention for the win at the prestigious Redbud 300 and ran 7^th at the treacherous high banks of Winchester. We were in contention at every race and with a little racing luck we could have very easily added a few trophies to the showroom stated Todd Craig with DCI General Contractors. I am proud of our team said Brett we thought we had a top five in final point standings but we had to sit out a couple of shows in Michigan due to financial reasons. We had a good year but we are looking for wins! We have some announcements in the near future which should give us the support we need to run a full year. We are really excited about our future in the ARCA/CRA Super Series. We would like to give a special thank you to all our associates,  DCI General Contractors, Mcgunegill Engine Performance, Advance Racing Suspension, Monson Truck Line and Port City Racecars. We could not have done it without you!

Lucas oil Raceway

“Fatheadz 100”

July 27, 2012

The DCI race team rolled into Indianapolis early Friday morning to a full field of 40 cars trying to make the show.

We unloaded and prepared for the first practice session. After the first practice Brett said it was loose on entry and exit. Todd made a few changes and they lined up for the second practice. Just as they started out on the track the rain started washing out the rest of practice. The decision was made to qualify with the new untried changes.

Brett qualified 19^th and said it was good on entry but to tight on exit and he could not get the power down early enough. Todd made an adjustment to help the exit and lined the car up for the start of the race.

The green flag waved and Brett passed three cars in the first two laps and the caution came out on lap six. Brett radioed that the DCI Chevrolet felt real good and he would take his time and go to the front. The restart was fast and furious with the lead cars getting tangled up and blocking the track. Brett was able to slow but was shoved right into the middle of it ending his day on lap 8 of 100. Brett said “what a shame we had a great car and I think we would have been a threat to win this thing”

Anderson Speedway

“Redbud 300”

July 21, 2012

The DCI race team rolled into Anderson with high hopes. Their last visit to the high banks had Brett running 4^th when a late race accident took him out.

The “Redbud 300” is one of the 3 top Late model races in the country drawing teams from all over including Kyle Bush, Chase Elliott and Ross Kenseth just to mention a few.

To everyone’s surprise the DCI Chevrolet struggled in practice. It would not turn in the center no matter what crew chief Todd Robinson tried. Brett said “no matter what you do it does not help the center”. Todd tried another change before qualifying only to hurt the exit and still had no effect on the center resulting in a terrible qualifying run of 20^th. Todd commented “at least we are locked into the show and now I can really look it over”

The center problem did not make any sense to Todd so he took apart the front suspension looking for a problem that would cause this. He found that the left front bump rubber had split and was the probable cause of the tight condition. Todd replaced it and reset the front end to the original set up hoping this would fix it.

The DCI General Contractors Chevrolet is pushed to the starting g line for the autograph session and the start of the “Redbud 300”.  

The drop of the green flag revealed the changes did fix the DCI Monte Carlo and Brett radioed he felt real good as he marched thru the field. The DCI team found themselves in 9^th position at the halfway break. The rules allow 15 minutes to make any changes you like. The DCI team changed four tires, added fuel, bled the brakes and reset the sway bar and put the car back in line for the restart of the second half.

The green flag flies and Brett moves into 7^th place “nose to tail” with the leaders as they start to lap traffic. Brett and Todd decided to ride and save tires and brakes until 50 to go and then make a run at the win. The DCI Monte Carlo was looking good until the lower radiator hose split dumping all the water and ending their chances. Brett said “I didn’t get a chance to show what I really had, I am very proud of my team and the way we preformed to that point. I want to thank everyone who made this day possible for me, DCI General Contractors, McGunegill Engine Performance, Advance Racing Suspension, Port City Race Cars and Monson Truck Lines”.

Winchester Speedway

“Winchester 100”

June 23, 2012

The DCI race team arrived early to the track on a beautiful morning. With only two scheduled practice sessions before qualifying it is very important to be ready as soon as the track opens.

Practice went ok but Brett was not comfortable with the setup. Crew chief Todd Robinson sat down with Brett to discuss exactly what he did not like. Todd made the decision to make a few major changes before qualifying.

Once again the DCI Monte Carlo passed pre qualifying tech and was presented for qualifying. Brett was happy with the changes and posted 9^th quick time.

Brett was able to stay with the lead pack for the whole race finishing a respectable 7^th place without a single scratch on the car. Brett commented”Winchester is a very hard place to pass even if you are faster than them!” Todd was happy with the results and looking forward to the “Redbud 300” next.

Springport Motor Speedway

“Central Michigan Ford-Kenworth 125”

June 16, 2012

I    It was the first appearance for the ARCA/CRA Super Series at the fast 3/8 mile high banked oval just south of Lansing in Springport Michigan. Sprint Cup star Ken Schrader was on hand to race the best short track drivers in the nation. Nineteen year old Brett Robinson would bring the field to the green flag after qualifying 7^th. Brett battled door to door for several laps before taking the lead. The DCI Chevrolet opened up a significant lead until lap 25 when two time champ Johnny Van Doorn got by on the bottom.

B   Brett stated the car just got to loose as the tires wore down but we battled with the best and I thought we had something for them. We will be back next year and with some adjustments I think we can win this thing. I can’t wait to get back here this is a real nice place and I really like the track. I would like to thank everyone who made this possible. The DCI General Contractor,  Mcgunegill Engine Performance, Advance Racing Suspension, Monson Truck Line, Port City Racecar Chevrolet ran great today and came away with a top ten without a scratch on the car.
