🇺🇸🇪🇸 𝗧𝟰 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗽 — 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗨𝗦𝗔 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀! 🇺🇸🏆

Getting to travel to Spain and represent 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗨𝗦𝗔 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝟰 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 was an opportunity I’ll never forget.

I had only practiced on a T4 package for 1 day back in June, so this was my 1st time actually racing this package.

The T4 package is a bit different from what I’m used to racing in Mini Swift. It also has much tighter engine parity across the field so the racing is incredibly close & competitive which is awesome!

𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴
I was on a lap that was looking good enough for pole until Sector 3, when I hit a curb hard and lost a ton of time. I ended up 𝗣𝟵/𝟯𝟲. Not where I wanted to be, but I knew the pace was there.

The heats were 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰. At times, it felt like survival, with karts battling for every position instead of settling in for the win.
🇺🇸 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝟭 — 𝗣𝟱 🇺🇸 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝟮 — 𝗣𝟲 🇺🇸 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝟯 — 𝗣𝟴
That put me starting 𝗣𝟳 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 — progress!

Then we kept moving forward.

🔥 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 — 𝗣𝟯
That moved me to start 𝗣𝟱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 — more progress!

The Final was a battle from the first lap to the last. I fought as hard as I could & brought it home 𝗣𝟰.

I’m incredibly proud of the fight, racing kids up to 13 years old. I was 1 of the younger drivers out there & my first time racing this package.

Then came the 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱…
🏆 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗨𝗦𝗔 𝗪𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣! 🇺🇸

The top three results from each country in the Superheat and Final counted toward the Team Championship points. 𝗠𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗨𝗦𝗔, which means I got to play a part in helping bring the championship home. 🙌🏻🇺🇸

Representing my country was already something I’ll never forget. Knowing that I was able to 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗨𝗦𝗔 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 makes this experience even more special.

What an experience. What a team. What a weekend.
Congrats to Team USA!! 🇺🇸🎉

What a fun day racing at Trackhouse! 🏁

At 10 years old, this was my 3rd weekend being in the Junior kart and my first time racing KA Junior. We came into this weekend with zero expectations and I definitely learned a lot!

Our race engine for the weekend was lost by FedEx, so we ran our practice engine instead—and it seemed to do a decent job!

There were 24 drivers racing in a stacked field full of incredibly talented National-level Junior drivers. I may have been one of the smallest drivers out there, but my aggression and overall pace were on point being only .2 off the fastest driver. 💪

I finished P8 in warmup and P8 in qualifying. In the prefinal, I was running P6 on the last lap, less than 1 second behind the leader, until contact from another driver dropped me back several positions. The contact resulted in a penalty for the other driver but despite that, I was really happy with the pace I had and the opportunity to battle towards the front in such a talented field! 💪🏁

In the final, I was wiped out, but I hung on and pushed as hard as I could until the end. After a long day, I was definitely feeling it! The Junior kart weighs quite a bit more than my Mini kart—336 lbs at Trackhouse in Jr compared to 247 lbs in my Mini—so endurance is definitely one area I know I need to keep working on.

A huge thank you to my mechanic, Phil, for pushing my insanely heavy kart up and down the hill all day and making sure my kart was on point every time I hit the track! The kart felt perfect! 💪

A big thank you as well to many who were cheering me on at the track this week and giving me words of encouragement. It meant a lot!

Overall, we had an excellent time and learned a lot about where we stand heading into the next class. I worked really hard today and definitely exceeded our expectations for my first Junior race.

Big congratulations to all of my competitors! It was awesome racing and learning from all of you. Cant wait to do it again!! 🏁

We didn’t take many but here are the few pictures and video from the last week or so getting in the Junior kart for one of the first times.

Fast is a feeling. Confidence is a mindset. 🏁🔥

It’s not just about being fast. It’s about trusting your work, staying focused, and believing in yourself.

Keep learning. Keep working. Keep pushing forward.

Excited to put my passport to use and race somewhere new very soon. 🌎🏁🎉

Another SKUSA Pro Tour season is in the books.

Rounds 5 & 6 didn’t unfold exactly how we envisioned, but that’s racing. A weekend of resilience!

Saturday started with a P4 qualifying effort and a great launch at the start of the prefinal before an opening-lap incident from a competitor sent a few drivers off track.

We made the strategic decision to pull Brody in, use Saturday as our drop race, save our tires, and put our focus on Sunday.

Throughout the week, the kart just wouldn’t turn the way it normally does. Midday Saturday, we discovered the chassis was significantly bent which then all made sense. While it didn’t change the outcome, it gave us some of the answers we had been searching for.

Sunday gave us another opportunity. Brody battled his way to a P4 finish in the final, just missing the podium.

We closed out the championship series 4th overall in one of the most competitive Mini fields there is. While we’re always chasing more, we’re incredibly proud of the growth, determination, and consistency shown all season. Every challenge is another opportunity to learn, improve, and come back stronger.

Congratulations to all of my competitors on an incredible SKUSA Pro Tour season. Competing against such a talented group of drivers made all of us better, and I’m grateful to share the track with each of you.

Thank you to our team, sponsors, family, and everyone who has supported us along the way. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings but first a few more series to close out before the regular 2026 race season concludes. 🏁

Another weekend in the books.

We started strong by setting the fastest time in Happy Hour and followed it up with Pole position in Qualifying.

A Heat 2 win and valuable experience in the constant changing conditions gave us plenty to build on as we continue working toward our goals.

Thank you to my mechanic, team, engine builder, sponsors, family, and many more for your support.

This week is shaping up to be a very exciting one, and I can’t wait to share what’s ahead! 🏁💪👀

Special thank you to @gnarlykarliephotography as well!!
