Pipe Dreams Podcast is pleased to release a new episode featuring three time American Flat Track Singles Champion Kody Kopp. At just 21 years old, Kody already carries a perspective that surpasses his impressive résumé. You can feel it immediately in the way he speaks about racing, responsibility, and purpose.

Growing up as the son of flat track legend Joe Kopp, racing was not just a passion. It was the family business. Kody opens up about being raised at the track, the expectations that come with the Kopp name, and why leaving high school as a freshman felt like the only option if he wanted to fully commit to racing at the highest level.

By the age of 12, Kody already understood the importance of relationships, sponsors, and representing partners the right way - all lessons that would later prove just as critical as raw speed. The conversation digs into the grind of growing up in professional racing, carving out his own identity, and what it truly takes to turn talent into championships.

Kody also reflects on his one year stint with Team Roberts in the MotoAmerica Talent Cup, stepping into road racing and learning an entirely new discipline. He shares how that experience reshaped his approach, broadened his perspective, and why every chapter, even the uncomfortable ones, played a role in his development.

Now entering a new phase of his career, Kopp returns full time to American Flat Track’s premier SuperTwins class with Latus Motor Racing, chasing unfinished business aboard a Harley Davidson XG750 with experience, maturity, and purpose.
