WELCOME TO

Tony is probably one of the more experienced guys on the crew. He has been involved as both a driver and a crew guy over many years of racing. Tony has grown up on dirt track racing, but his knowledge of racecars in general is a huge help to the team. There is also a certain calming that Tony brings in hectic situations at the track. His experience shines on our team.

Tony is very dedicated to the Bendzick Racing team. He makes it to nearly every race, and he travels a long distance to be with us. We're all very happy to have him on the team, he's bring us all laughter and makes racing a really good time. With our recent transition to the Mid American Series and the traveling that is involved to get to the tracks, Tony is a huge help in always volunteering to drive the hauler.

Tony currently works as a mechanic at MN DOT. He and his late wife Lynn have combined to raise two terrific kids, Stacey (27) and Zach (26). He lives in a beautiful house on Long Lake in Makinen, MN, a town that his ancestors founded many years ago. Tony has served as a hockey coach to both of his children over the years.

Tony enjoys everything outdoors, anything with a motor, and spending time with his family and friends. Over the years his easy going personality has made himself many great friends. If you see him at the races, he'll probably be the first one to come up and shake your hand.
