Cadet racing began at the SKUSA SuperNationals back in 1998, the second edition of the Las Vegas event, in shifterkart form with 60cc Novice. That age group was absent from the event through 2006 to 2009 before the TaG Cadet division made its debut. The category ran for six years prior to the split, creating Mini Swift and Micro Swift. Over those 15 editions of TaG Cadet and Mini Swift, an amazing 15 different winners have stood on top of the podium. For the 16th time, a new winner will be crowned at the SuperNationals this season. Last year’s winner Maxwell Macha graduated to the Junior level, opening the door for a new driver to join the former 15 that include names from Formula One, IndyCar and NASCAR in Logan Sargeant, Patricio O’Ward and Connor Zilisch.
Two podium finishers from 2025 are back this year. Zayne Burgess (Parolin Motorsport USA) was runner-up a year ago and is coming in with an even stronger CV, having raced all year in Europe. The Jamacian driver who resides in Florida was the Micro Swift winner in 2024, following the Micro win by Maxwell Macha in 2023. Should it follow course, Burgess is the favorite to win this year. Canadian Jayden Francisco (RPM / Nitro Kart) finished fifth at SuperNats 28. Like Burgess, the majority of Francisco’s schedule this year has been focused on overseas races with a few one-off events in the USA. This will be Francisco’s fourth start at the SuperNationals, highlighted by a fourth-place result in Micro back in 2024. Read full story on eKartingNews.com. |

With each passing edition of the SKUSA SuperNationals, the Micro Swift category continues to grow in terms of competitiveness. Each year, the field gets deeper and deeper with numerous possible winners and podium finishers. SuperNats 29 is no different with a sold out field of 48 drivers set to compete in 2026. Nine different drivers have won over the nine editions of the category, meaning that Micro Swift is set to welcome a 10th unique victor on SuperSunday with the graduation of SuperNationals 28 winner Dutch Westbrook up to Mini Swift.
Only two of the top-10 from last year’s field are returning. Jack Kotowski (TKG / Birelart) comes in as the SKUSA Winter Series champion in 2026 after finishing eighth at the SuperNats last year. Kotowski is the only driver in the field to be making his third start in the Micro category at the SuperNationals. This year’s SKUSA Pro Tour champion Beau Wyatt (LEM / Nitro Kart) finished ninth a year ago. In total, 11 drivers are returning from last year’s field, including Tre Sanders (RPM / Nitro Kart) and Shepp Sullivan (VSR / Nitro Kart), who finished 17th and 22nd, respectively. Sanders was the runner-up in the SKUSA Pro Tour standings with one win. Sullivan is a SKUSA SpringNationals winner and was a runner-up at the Texas Sprint Racing Series.
