It was a historic SuperSunday to close out Superkarts! USA SuperNationals 28. For the first time in event history, postponed heat races and Last Chance Qualifiers were moved onto the final day of action due to the rain that continued to fall at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday evening. A revised schedule for SuperSunday added in the final Pro class heat races, the opening ceremonies, and three LCQ races before the paddock rolled into the nine main events for the day. The weather was sunny, but it was certainly the coldest of the week and the added events pushed the action went to almost 7:00 pm local time, making for a fast-paced 12-hour day for officials and competitors. – Complete Coverage at the EKN Event Page.
The final races of the day took place under the lights around the temporary circuit outside Las Vegas Motor Speedway and featured 42 drivers taking the green flag. On the front row was former FIA Karting World Champion Viktor Gustafsson (Kart CRG USA) and Markus Kajak (Goodwood / Formula K), who saw his race end last year with contact in turn one while leading. At the drop of the green, Kajak grabbed the holeshot while Gustafsson struggled going into turn one, pushing wide while trying to make the turn. This collected Ricardo Longhi (PSL / Birelart) as the rest of the field powered around on the inside. Two drivers in contention were pushed wide in turn four as they tried to go three wide. Velocity Racing / Sodi Kart teammates Matheus Morgatto and Matteo Spirgel – starting fifth and seventh – saw their SuperSunday end after just four corners.

The final two days of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals 28 will go down in history as one of the most unique events over its span of decades. Saturday outside the Las Vegas Motor Speedway brought rain weather into the mix following the morning group final round of heat races, beginning with the Last Chance Qualifiers. Three heat races in the afternoon grouping of classes were conducted before a red flag in the opening heat for Pro X30 forced a stoppage in racing, and eventually a postponement of the final four runs including that class and Pro Shifter. SuperSunday will feature, for the first time, four different heat races and their Last Chance Qualifiers before going into the main events to decide this year’s SuperNationals winners on Sunday.
