Scott Barnes Set To Race Under The Stars
Karting driver Scott Barnes is gearing up for a thrilling showdown at the final round of the Stars Championship Series – the highly anticipated Night Fight – in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Set to take place at the Trackhouse Motorplex, Barnes is aiming to close out the series on a high note.
Sitting second in the Rok class standings and fourth in the overall Shifter Masters category, Barnes is pushing for a first-place finish in the Rok class and determined to secure a coveted podium spot in the Shifter Masters.
The 39-year-old, who races for Maranello Kart USA, told Bernews: “I’ll be looking for third overall [in the Shifter Masters], which will be a pretty big task.
“Hopefully, I’ll be able to win the Rok class and return home with another title.”
Aptly named Night Fight, the final round, which starts tomorrow [September 13] with the heats and pre-final and continues on Saturday with the final, will be held in the afternoon and finish in the evening, adding another layer of intrigue and intensity.
“Night racing is always fun,” Barnes added. “I’ve done a few in Las Vegas and some 24-hour races – it’s pretty cool.”
Barnes is sponsored by Butterfield & Vallis, representing their Powerade brand, and Simpsons Motorsports.
