The 29th annual Kupper Dakota Classic Modifieds Tour that rumbled through the Estevan Motor Speedway the same weekend that a major thunderstorm rumbled through the area concluded with some familiar faces on top of the leaderboard.
Hunter Marriott of Brookfield, Missouri won the event with a total of 192 points in the modifieds division while Eilijah Zevenbergen of Allendorf, Iowa won the stock car division with 197 points.
The annual tour is scheduled to hit five racetracks in North Dakota plus the EMS in early July the A-modified and street stock divisions, weather permitting.
Rain and storms ripped through another stop on the tour. As well as the Monday night stop in Estevan, Tuesday night’s events in Williston were curtailed due to the rain.
The highest ranked modifieds driver from the Estevan area was Kody Scholpp in 18th place with 118 points.
Estevan’s Austin Daae was fourth in points with 181, behind Joe Flory (195) and Dalton Flory (190), both of Williston, N.D. Fourth place is the highest finish for an Estevan-area driver in several years.
Weather permitting, the next event at the Estevan track will be the Border City Dirt Wars July 21-22 with a full slate of hobby stocks, street stocks, sport mods, A-modifieds and slingshots on the menu.
