Superkarts! USA has today announced that the upcoming SKUSA SuperNationals XVIII will be televised on major primetime network television via CBS Sports Network. The move comes as a result of a new partnership with motorsports specific upstart, Torque.tv
Torque.tv is the new production venture from Roger Werner, the visionary who founded Speedvision (and later SPEED Channel). The network will serve as a motorsports specific destination for racing and automotive enthusiasts worldwide. The network’s business model will combine both a revolutionary on demand subscription package with traditional primetime network television broadcasts. Both mediums will combine to provide an all-inclusive destination for viewers on a myriad of devices, including TV, mobile, and tablet.
The deal is one of great pride for SKUSA CEO Tom Kutscher. “We’ve been approached many, many times about putting karting on TV. It’s something I’ve been very eager to do, but I’ve been adamant it be the right fit. With the sport in a very pivotal growth stage, it was important to me that the end product show karting in the appropriate light. I am very pleased to say we’ve finally found the right match in Torque.tv and the CBS Sports Network.”

The 18th edition of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals will be underway outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in less than 20 days. Over 500 drivers from around the world will converge on Las Vegas, gunning for a place in history as one of the nine winners crowned following the five days of battle and the fight on SuperSunday. All of the competitors will have one thing in common – the tires mounted on their racing steeds. MG Tires has been the official tire of SKUSA since 2005, and continues to show their support for the organization by signing on as the title sponsor of SuperNationals XVIII.
“For 10 years now, MG Tires has been a big supporter of the ProKart Challenge and Superkarts! USA. It is great to have a partner that not only supports the sport, but also provides a product that you can count on,” stated Superkarts! USA CEO Tom Kutscher. “The brand is gaining more and more respect around the world, and what better than supporting the biggest karting event of the year. We look forward to this year’s event, and the continued partnership with MG Tires.”
