by Jarrod Lehman

SHINNSTON, W.V. -- West Virginia standout dirt Late Model driver Robbie Scott, 30, of Shinnston, WV who will be racing with the Independent Racing Series (IRS) for the Rookie of the Year title as well as taking a shot at the championship, will appear along with his dirt Late Model at the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing (RCBI) facility that will host a Machining & Technology Expo Wednesday, March 21 during an Open House at the RCBI Bridgeport Manufacturing Technology Center, located in the Benedum Industrial Park adjacent to the Harrison-Marion Regional Airport off Rt. 50 in Bridgeport, WV.

Representatives from more than a dozen machine tool vendors and industrial suppliers will join RCBI’s experienced staff to offer equipment and software demonstrations during the day-long event, slated from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

Scott will appear along with his Rocket Chassis/Mopars by Stanton #18 sponsored by Amos Paving, Atlas Autobody Parts LLC., Patricia Feltz, Walt's Inc., Advance Auto Parts of Shinnston, WV, Hoosier Tire, Rocket Chassis and Scott Sign and Design.

“We at Mighty Motorsports as well as my sign business, Scott Sign and Design are very excited to participate in this event,” stated Scott. “We were contacted Saturday by Mr. Bernie Wilson the event coordinator to represent our sport and business. Immediately I thought, wow, what a great opportunity to showcase some of my sign work and to show people who may not know much about dirt track racing as a sport, its importance to tourism, our economy as a whole and what good wholesome family activity, which I feel this world could use a lot more of, it can be.”

“This also a great way to promote our sponsors and supporters. So all in all this should be a great situation for all involved in our program.”

A Job Fair will also be staged in conjunction with the expo. Local companies will participate and provide employment information. RCBI will also provide details about its Machinist Technology Program, which offers nationally recognized and certified (by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, or NIMS) training that produces certified machinists for immediate employment in the region’s industrial base.

The Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing (RCBI) is located at 2400 E. Benedum Industrial Dr., Bridgeport, WV. For additional information call: 800.469.RCBI (7224) or visit the website at: http://www.rcbi.org/content/bridgeport_technology_center.asp

Scott is also looking forward to the inaugural season with the new IRS sanctioning body. The IRS will kick their season on Friday April 13 at Jeff Norris’ Hilltop Speedway in Millersburg, OH for a $5,000 to win feature event.

Coming soon to Mighty Motorsports and Robbie Scott will be all new T-Shirts designed and produced by Slavic Custom Shirts & Decals. “Ron Slavic is a good friend and has always handled our apparel needs,” said Scott. “I feel he is one of the best and his work reflects that.”

Scott also announced that a new Mighty Motorsports website will debut soon. Additionally, Scott will be spotlighted in a feature story in an upcoming issue of Dirt Late Model magazine.
