Early life

Stenzel lived next to a home made race track owned by Ron Fischer and became friends with Ron's son Josh. They raced together in karts, 4wheelers, stock cars and dirt bikes.

and others.

ARCA Racing Series

Stenzel met Charlie Patterson, owner of Nex-Gen Motorsports and retired owner of Patterson Drive Shafts, at the

Motorsports. When I look at Scott I see the next Jimmie Johnson, he really is a sponsor’s dream. He really impresses me to see him do such a great job behind the wheel,” Patterson stated.[1]

On December 11–12, 2007 Stenzel attended Finish Line Racing School headed up by Mike Loescher. He graduated the class with flying colors and Loesher approved him ready for

ARCA RE/MAX contention.[2]

On December 3, 2007, it was announced that Stenzel would test the No. 75

ARCA RE/MAX single car runs. There was a record number of drivers who showed up to this test.[4] Posting a total of 40 laps he was granted permission to participate in all of the 2008 ARCA events and was given his official license.[5]

Stenzel drove a Schacht-prepared car in the December 18–20, 2009 Daytona test for ARCA drivers and teams, and obtained his 2010 license for the entire season.

Stenzel signed up with the reality documentary television series called Yellow Stripes: Making the Driver. He finished filming for the first episodes July 6, 2009, a co-production between Gen2Media and Digi Craft.

Spraker Racing
to finalize the Daytona arrangements. Jeff and his crew prepared Scott’s speedway car, which was purchased from the Wood Brothers and powered by a Roush/Yates motor. On January 22, 2010, Stenzel entered his No. 42 Ford Fusion into the Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona with Jeff Spraker agreeing to sit atop the war wagon as crew chief throughout speed week.

When asked about preparing for the upcoming event, Stenzel commented, “I can’t thank everyone enough for helping out a rookie driver. Jeff Spraker, and his skilled crew, have taken me and this Wood Brothers Ford Fusion on at the last minute. Everything is coming together smoothly with everyone pulling extra duty. Plus, as a team we’ve been able to gel. Spraker’s been to Daytona several times. He knows what it takes to lead and finish up front, but he’s yet to win one. Now, we share the same goal – to win at Daytona.”

On April 23, 2010, Spraker agreed to field the car for Stenzel. Stenzel qualified 28th at Talladega Superspeedway. After 250 miles were completed in the race, he finished in the 7th-place position. He received the CGS Hard Charger award for passing the most cars during the race.
