The 10th edition of the SKUSA WinterNationals will make its first visit to Tucson, Arizona, marking the third ever trip for Superkarts! USA with previous SpringNationals held in 2011 and 2013. Over 250 entries are set to battle over the eight categories that will contest this year’s championship program.

The penultimate round of the 2025 ProKart Challenge took place at the Sonoma Raceway karting circuit over the August 23-24 weekend. It was the first time since 2017 that Superkarts!

The weekend weather was perfect for racing around the ‘National Pro’ layout, welcoming the second largest event of the season at over 160 entries competing in the 11 categories.
A total of 46 drivers contested the Formula Works KA100 Senior category on the weekend with the same end result as the first four rounds.

He led until lap 10 with Texas Sprint Racing Series champion Jesus Vasquez Jr. taking control and the race win – as Jackson Menchu slipped into second. After leading the opening three laps of the Final, Vasquez dropped down to fifth as Hand took over the lead. Vasquez fought back to reclaim the top spot by lap 10. Hand led for a second time on lap 17, showing the way to the white flag. During the final circuit, Kaminski was able to work past Hand. Leading only the final lap, Kaminski celebrated his fifth straight victory on the season. Hand was short at the line by 58 thousandths, with Menchu joining them on the podium in third.
