The big story going into the SummerNationals will be the absence of X30 Senior point leader Jake Craig (RPM / Tony Kart). The 2014 Pro Tour champion was en route to a possible second title, however, the California driver is focused on building his resume in open wheel cars. Craig will be racing at the F1600 Super Series event in Trois-Riviers, Quebec, Canada, a series in which he sits tied in the championship standings with fellow karter Kellen Ritter.
The absence of Craig puts Christian Brooks at the top of the standings heading into New Castle. Brooks (CRG Nordam) is a long-time SKUSA competitor, however, he has never been a Pro Tour champion. The WinterNationals winner stood on the podium both days at NOLA, but missed out on the steps during a challenging weekend in Phoenix. In fact, the top three in the X30 Senior title chase have two podium finishes each. Canadian Samuel Lupien (RPG / Kosmic) was runner-up to Brooks in NOLA, and ran third in Phoenix before a mechanical issues put him on the sidelines on Sunday. Defending champion Ryan Norberg (PSL / Birel ART) started out the season with a DNF, but came back to battle in the top-five in NOLA on Sunday. A third straight victory at the SpringNationals back in May, paired with a third-place on Sunday in Phoenix, has helped put Norberg in contention for an unprecedented third straight Pro Tour championship. The trio is separated by just 15 points, with Norberg holding the advantage when factoring in the drop race. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |

A month after resuming the 2018 season, the California ProKart Challenge returns back to action to begin the second half of the year with the fourth event in the six-round championship program. The Santa Maria Kart Track will host the Superkarts! USA flagship regional program on July 6-7. A regular stop for the California PKC program, the 7/10-mile circuit is located near the Pacific Ocean on at the Santa Maria Airport. Championship hunts are in full chase-mode, with the 12 IAME and Honda categories gearing up for another exciting weekend of racing.
No one has been able to stop Billy Musgrave in the Mad Old Nut S1 Pro Stock Honda class at the California ProKart Challenge. The current #1 driver in the eKartingNews.com Stock Honda Driver Rankings Powered by Bell Racing USA has been perfect through the first half of the season. Last year’s Santa Maria event triggered a three race runner-up string for Musgrave, with Matias Podboj scoring the victory a year ago. Podboj is the top challenger in the championship chase at this point. Jake Drew has positioned himself as the driver to beat in the Phil Giebler Racing X30 Senior title chase. Drew leads by 28 points over Joseph Daniele and holds the advantage in the win column, earning a Round Two victory while Daniele has a best finish of runner up at Round One. Canadian Samuel Lupien and 2017 California PKC Junior champion Trey Brown remain in the hunt.
