Who is BENNINGTON MOTORSPORTS??

Bennington Motorsports is owned and operated by Nick Miller in Lafayette, Indiana

I began working on cars almost 2 decades ago, when I found the 1955 Ford Fairlane that was to be my daily driver. The ’55 had holes

In the fender big enough to put a fist through, and burned probably a quart of oil every couple of days! I originally saw her parked on the side of SR25 just outside Lafayette, and knew as soon as I saw it, that I had to have it! After quite a bit of body work, a re-vamped interior and a full engine rebuild, she was and still is a pleasure to drive.

Over the years I have had other various jobs, I managed a movie theatre just out of High School and was later employed as a computer network technician by my old school corporation. Along the way, I was employed by the Government for various consulting work, finished my BS in Nuclear Engineering, and also worked at a computer consulting company managing thousands of users on various computer networks across the U.S. The whole time, I continued doing what I loved, working on cars! Over those years, I drove not only the ’55, but an ’85 Porsche 944, ’69 Triumph Spitfire, ’95 Dodge neon race coupe, ’82 DeLorean, and a ’91 Ford Mustang. Some of which still reside in the Bennington Show Room.

When I decided I was burned out doing the “professional world BS” I started turning wrenches at a local automotive dealership/ performance shop. I figured it was a decent move, as over the 2 decades prior, I worked on friends vehicles all the time, usually for beer or a few $$. It was at this shop I discovered that turning wrenches is not only what I do well, but I enjoy doing it! I ended up leaving that job when my first daughter was born, and shortly after began my own commercial automotive restoration shop. Through the various communication channels used in the business I became a frequent user of several online BBS forums, and began offering my knowledge and services online. The shop started out as an auto-restoration shop, but as it grew and developed Bennington Motorsports continued to branch out it’s professional services well beyond being just a resto-shop!

Today, Bennington Motorsports is a full service automotive shop that provides everything from basic automotive repairs to full restorations, from Air Conditioning service to engine rebuilds, machine work, and even the occasional body work!
