One of the drivers making their debut with the Wild West Modified Shootout is Troy Foulger. Foulger is one of the top drivers of the Modified scene in California. Calling Martinez, California home he has picked up five wins in 2015 including a IMCA West Coast Nationals victory back in January at Antioch Speedway.

“Our year has been good so far,” stated Foulger, “we got a win in the Super Dirt Late Model already and four or five in the Mod. We are going to have a bit of learning curve with our new car and see how we can do against all these guys.”

Troy also was victorious at the 2015 Silver Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway back in early March. He brings to the tour some impressive credentials including winning the Northern California Modified Touring championship, a four-time track champ at Antioch, and a former Northern California UMP State Champion. Southern Oregon Speedway is the only venue that the Southern County Lubricants/All Flow Muffler & Auto Repair/Chuck's Wheel & Brake Service/Joe Gonsalves Photography/F.N. Designs/Bowers Motorsports #49 Bowers team has ever visited and that was just two times.

“I'm a really competitive person so I'm striving to do the very best that we can do,” he would continue, “this is the first seeing some of these tracks so we are hoping for the best.”

The 2015 Wild West Modified Shootout kicks off at Southern Oregon Speedway on Saturday June 13th. The tour will wrap things up at Willamette Speedway on the 19th and 20th to close the speedweek out for the second straight year. Teams from Oregon, Washington, California, North Dakota, Montana, and British Columbia Canada are expected to make the journey.
