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.

 

Scott won 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. 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.

 

In the 2007 season, Wimmer (along with teammate Jeff Burton) won the NASCAR Busch Series season owner points championship for Richard Childress Racing. The duo finished 3rd in the NASCAR Nationwide Series standings in 2008, while Wimmer posted his 6th career NASCAR win.


During the 2009 campaign, Wimmer looks to put a strong season together in the NASCAR Nationwide series.  Scott will be running races for Curtis Key Sr. and Key Motorsports as well as Dale Earnhardt Jr and JR Motorsports.
