Blake Bjorklund - Bjorklund Motorsports

Blake Bjorklund is one of the most promising young racecar drivers. This rising athlete is a bright and determined individual with unlimited potential. Blake, son of Craig and Diane Bjorklund, resides in Isanti, Minnesota, a small community north of the Twin Cities. He grew up helping his family on their farm as well as their small businesses.

Bjorklund has done a variety of things throughout his life, yet nothing satisfied him more than racing. He has raced snowmobile radar runs, World Snowmobile Association (WSA) Snocross, and cars. Blake has found success in each of these things, yet his passion clearly lies in car racing.

At the early age of fifteen, he started to race the Three-Quarter Scale (TQS) Late Model Series. Bjorklund took home rookie of the year honors in 2001. In 2002, Blake was the Three-Quarter Scale Late Model Points Champion and took home eight feature wins. After two years of racing the TQS's, he had dominated the series and was ready to move on to another challenge.

In 2003, Blake moved in to a Late Model. Although this was a large step, Blake was determined. He raced at I-94 Raceway in Sauk Centre, MN as well as the sister track in Fergus Falls, MN. He gained instant attention as he won his third and fourth race. By the end of the year, Blake had captured "Rookie of the Year" title at both tracks as well as taking home three feature wins.

2004 proved to be the year that would define Blake as an exceptionally talented driver. Bjorklund leaped again to a much higher level as he took on the challenge of the Yellow Book Midwest AllStar Racing Series (MARS). Bjorklund captured eight feature wins as well as the prestigious "Rookie of the Year" honors. In addition, Bjorklund was the "Youngest Driver" in addition to the "First Minnesota Driver" to win a MARS race." After exceeding his goals and with the MARS season complete, Bjorklund turned his attention to the remaining American Speed Association (ASA) races. With only two ASA starts, Blake had an impressive twelfth place finish.

2005 was no different than years past. Blake won numerous races and continued to grow as a race car driver, building his experience for 2006.

In 2006, Blake ran the ARCA RE/MAX Series. Bjorklund’s season start was anything but smooth. He missed the first two races, Daytona and Nashville and had numerous encounters with tough breaks which nearly sent Bjorklund off the radar. Yet, that did not stop the Isanti native from overcoming his challenges. He charged ahead, picking up momentum as the season wore on. Bjorklund scored his first win at Salem Speedway in September when he passed Series Champion Frank Kimmel with less than two laps remaining. With just 21 starts this season, Bjorklund captured one win, six top-fives, and 10 top-10 finishes. Bjorklund’s accomplishments do not end there. Bjorklund was also awarded the Bill France Triple Crown, a three-race series including Toledo Speedway, DuQuoin State Fairground’s mile-dirt and Chicagoland. Bjorklund is only the third rookie in the history of the award to achieve this.

Bjorklund, recently, signed a driver development program with the NASCAR team, HAAS-CNC Racing. He will be doing a selection of Truck Series and Busch Series races in 2007.
