ESTEVAN, Sask. – Kody Scholpp was second in standings at the end of the 2017 Gunslinger Tour and set his sights on finishing one spot better this year.
And that’s exactly what he did, winning three times and collecting another five top five-finishes over the course of the mid-June IMCA Modified tour at tracks in Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota.
“The Gunslinger Tour is more of a regional tour than a national one. We traveled with a pickup, a small enclosed trailer and didn’t have to spend beaucoup dollars,” the Estevan, Sask., driver said. “Everybody went out for breakfast together and we had a lot of fun.”
His wins came at Big Sky Speedway, Sheridan Speedway and Black Hills Speedway.
“We got a lot of racing in and we had a lot of fun doing it, without spending a lot of money,” said Scholpp.
For the season, Scholpp logged 40 starts at tracks in seven states and Saskatchewan.
