Dan Binks is loving life after Corvette Racing.
More than any other name or face, Dan Binks was the living embodiment of Corvette Racing. Its legendary crew chief, a barrel of a man, presided over the cars and mechanics for the factory sports car team for nearly 20 years until retiring in May of 2020.
You won’t find Binks Motorsports listed as an entrant in late January at IMSA’s Rolex 24 At Daytona, but if you look towards Oklahoma at the start of January, his cars, drivers, and engines will be making plenty of noise at the Chili Bowl, one of America’s last great gatherings for midget sprint cars.
“But I didn’t enjoy not being the team owner, so, three or four months ago, I bought two midgets from Tim Clauson and now I have my own engines in both cars, and my cars are my own, and I can do it my own way.” “It’s not like going to this short track in town and beating up on all the little kids, right? I mean, the best guys in the world come to the Chili Bowl for a reason. Kyle Larson goes there. Alex Bowman goes there. And those guys’ teams are spending three or four or five times what I'm gonna spend, but the reason why I’m doing it because it’s hard and winning it really means you've accomplished something. And I take that as a challenge.
