Logan Scrivner: DragChamp Racer Spotlight

Logan Scrivner is in this week’s DragChamp Racer Spotlight. Learn all about this DragChamp Pro Member in his spotlight below!

SHERWOOD, OR- Logan Scrivner was first introduced to the sport of drag racing at age nine through a Junior Dragster rental program at his local track, Woodburn Dragstrip. He had given other sports a chance but nothing could compare to the way he felt behind the wheel of a Junior Dragster.

His late Grandpa John was heavily involved in drag racing back in the 60s. He raced the local circuit in his 32 Bantam Altered and got to race with some of the greats like Ed “Ace” McCulough, Twig Zigler, and Ernie Hall. He was also a NW 2 time Top Eliminator Champion but unfortunately work, and finances took him out of the sport early. Logan is proud to be carrying out his grandpa’s passion for the sport.

Logan competes in Super Pro and Top Bulb throughout Division 6. This year he traveled to Redding Dragstrip and the Spring Fling in Vegas for the first time and was fortunate to finish 31st out of 275 in the Pro Million. He said, “racing and lining up against some of my favorite bracket racers was a pretty cool experience”.

His Race Car

Logan’s current car is a 2011 Chromeworx chassis built by American Racecars which runs 4.70s at 145mph. Onboard it has a 582 cubic” BBC Sunset Headhunter that makes 1075 hp. It also has a Abruzzi transmission and Moser Engineering rear end.

Accomplishments

Logan was the 2021 Division 6 Junior Lightning Champ and collected 15 Junior Wallys and 60 event wins during his time in Junior Dragsters. In his first partial season in his dragster, he finished with 2 event wins, a Wally and was awarded Rookie of the year in 2022.

Logan’s Q&A

What’s on your bucket list, future goals, what do you hope to achieve?

I’m kind of a simple guy and that holds true with racing for me so my future goals are to continue to enjoy it and do my best locally with racing and have fun. I would love to return to The Fling in Vegas and see how far that goes.

What is your favorite race car, and why?

My favorite race car is my own. Im kind of partial since its my car. Its my favorite chassis and I found it on my birthday so I feel like it was meant to be. I feel blessed by everything I have and this is no exception.

Who has made the biggest impact on your racing success?

My Mom and Dad have had the biggest impact on my racing success because without them and their support I wouldnt be racing. Also to my Faith to which I apply to everything in my life. On my own Im just me.

Tell us what you do for a living?

I work at our local Shell gas station. Im only 17 so I have my life ahead of me still. I want to finish my education and see what the future holds.

How do you support your racing, side hustle, sponsor, partner, etc.?

I’m thankful to my sponsors who have supported me since I started racing: My Parents, Northwest BG, Sherwood Auto, Lucas Performance, Tigard SUV, JC Motors, Claytons Automotive, Don and Rose Lindsay.

Who do you hate to see in the other lane, and why?

I don’t hate to see anyone in the other lane because you can’t be the best until you race the best. But seriously I don’t like to line up against friends.

What’s the hardest part of drag racing?

The hardest part of Drag Racing is leaving the track.

What are you saying to yourself just before you stage the car?

Before I stage my car I am just focusing and trying not to overthink it

What do you enjoy the most at the racetrack?

The thing I enjoy most about racing is the people. My racing friends and the people that are drawn to my car because of its patriotic theme. It’s designed after a WW2 P51 Mustang. I have been blessed to talk to alot of Veterans and All American people who appreciate what it represents. Since I feel that way too, its pretty special when you make people feel good just by seeing the car.

Are you superstitious?  If so, what are they?

I am not superstitious but like other racers, I like to do things the same way every time. The way I load into my car and just keeping the same routine.

Do you love to win or hate to lose?

Winning in Drag Racing is a bonus and of course the feeling is great. But you can’t focus on that. It’s more important to have fun and that’s a lesson I’ve learned over the years. If I know I’ve done my job, I trust that whatever happens is meant to be.

Which are you better at the starting line or the finish line?

I’d say I’m a better top end racer. Learning to trust my car is the most important thing.

What motivates you to continue racing?

What motivates me to continue racing is the commitment. In many ways it has made me the person I am. I love the people I have met, the traveling and time with family and friends.

If money were no object, what would your racing operation look like?  Car, trailer, class, race schedule, etc.

In a dream world I would love to complete my current racing operation with a motorhome so more of my family could be together on the road.

What is your daily driver?

My daily driver is a 2002 Ford F250 7.3L

Favorite music, artist?

My favorite music artist is Kendrick Lamar

Where do you spend the most time on the internet?

I’m not a fan of social media, but if I’m on the internet I’m researching stuff Im interested in.

Besides racing, what do you do in your free time?

In my free time I hang with family and friends, go on road trips, and try to live life to the fullest. Life is a journey and a gift from God.

What is a piece of advice you’d give to an aspiring racer?

Any advice I would give is to not take yourself or racing too seriously and just have fun.
