 The competition level at the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour has continued to elevate year after year. Now into the fourth season, the numbers grow with each event, and the challenge of earning a main event victory increases. This year’s SummerNationals ended Sunday under a hot sun in the Grand Junction mountains in Colorado at the Grand Junction Motor Speedway. The eight categories competing on the outstanding 9/10-mile circuit provided some of the best racing seen to date. A number of drivers were able to double up on their wins from Saturday, but other categories welcomed their fourth different winner of the season – showing just how tough the competition truly is. Brazilian Andre Nicastro and NorCal’s Fritz Leesmann were the top drivers in the Pro categories, taking home $1,000 for the weekend with Troy Diede and Dylan Tavella another $500 each for their efforts in the categories above the 30-kart mark.
DRT Racing TaG Senior
The TaG Senior category was the final group of the day, and it began how Sunday ended. Andre Nicastro put his Italian Motors USA/Italkart on the pole position with a time of 54.770-seconds. His teammate and returning SKUSA racer David Jurca nearly matched his pace to make it a Italkart 1-2 on the front row for heat one. Austin Elliott (Top Kart) was third with Derek Dignan finding some extra speed in his KartSport North America/FA Kart. Championship leader Andrew Zimmer (ART GP) was fifth in the order, looking to rebound from a 18th place finish on Saturday. Yesterday’s contender Remo Ruscitti (Italkart) was out early in session, back in 30th position at the end of the session while round three runner-up TJ Koyen was back in the P10 position.
