Superkarts! USA today confirmed the long-awaited track configuration for August’s SummerNationals event. The fabled New Castle Motorsports Park will once again play host to the series finale, this time on a completely new inaugural track configuration than in years past.
“We’ve been coming to New Castle Motorsports Park for several years,” explained SKUSA’s Tom Kutscher. “While it’s truly one of the finest facilities in the country, some of our most seasoned teams and drivers were eager for a slight change. So, with that said, we’re excited to confirm we’ll be running the newly dubbed ‘SKUSA Super Mile’ configuration for the final race of the ProTour.”
As many of our competitors know, we took several fuel samples at the SKUSA Pro Tour SpringNationals event in Utah last month for further testing.
The following entrants’ fuels were tested:
Freddie Slater #727 X30 Junior
Ryan Norberg #N1 X30 Senior
Matt Johnson #517 X30 Master
In addition to SKUSA’s own analysis, we are happy to report that the three samples submitted to the VP Fuel’s head chemist were all determined not to have any additional ingredients beyond VP C12 and the allowed lubricants.

The second half of the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour is underway with the fourth round of the championship program contested on Sunday. The 10th edition of the SKUSA SpringNationals completed at the Utah Motorsports Campus in Erda, Utah, closing out the weekend with an exciting finish. Wind was a factor throughout the day and a threat of rain held off until the final checkered flag, with the heavy conditions passing south of the Salt Lake City area. A handful of drivers were able to repeat their victories on Saturday, solidifying their foothold in the title chase as the program looks toward the SummerNationals later this year.

The third round of the 2019 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour took place Saturday at the Utah Motorsports Campus facility in Erda, Utah with the first day of competition at the 10th edition of the SpringNationals. Clear skies all day roughly 30 minutes west of downtown Salt Lake City after a cold and windy start. The wind died down and the temperatures reached the 70-degree mark, providing perfect racing conditions. Three was the magic number with a majority of the categories welcoming a third different winner on the season.
