Scott Barnes Eyes Title In Indianapolis
Karting driver Scott Barnes heads into the SummerNationals – the final rounds of the Skusa Pro Tour – this weekend looking to wrap up the Shifter Masters title.
Barnes, who will race at the New Castle Motorsports Park in Indianapolis in rounds five and six, is second in the overall points standings after a successful SpringNationals and WinterNationals.
The Maranello Kart USA driver told Bernews: “I was leading the points until the one-race drop, where everyone can drop their worst race from the six rounds, leaving my team-mate Joe Ruch ahead of me by 33 points.
“It’s a close battle for the championship heading into the final two rounds. There will bonus points up for grabs for pole position and the fastest lap.
“If I win both final races, I win the championship. Unfortunately, this is Joe’s home track, so he has an advantage, but I’ve raced here plenty over the years.
“I’m looking forward to it and will look to give it my all and come out on top. Hopefully, I can finish off strongly in rounds five and six.”
