We’re Back!!!! Unfortunately we’ve had to create a new page for Challenge of the Americas (@challengekarting) after what can only be described as an utter failure of FaceBook customer service. Rest assured that in true Challenge style our media director Sean exhausted all civilized channels before he channeled his best incensed junior dad and lost the protest, and the appeal, took a 3 position penalty, and was issued a formal timeout from the platform. So here we are. Short version is we had to scuttle 14 years of content and start completely fresh for 2026. All the 2025 goodness will remain on our partner page @ShinkoKartTiresUSA and for the next few weeks we will be sharing some of that content here as we rebuild our social media program. Please encourage your friends, family, frenemies to like and share the new page Challenge Karting. As in years past our website www.challengekarting.com is the first place for up to date info, but our new Facebook page will also be back sharing all the details of upcoming events as well as the live coverage during our 2026 season. We look forward to seeing everyone here at the new Challenge Karting page.

The 2025 Challenge of the Americas wrapped up its season with an action-packed doubleheader at Burt Brothers Motorpark in Utah under sweltering 90-degree heat. Saturday saw standout performances from Chase Hand, who won the 100cc Senior race after Keagan Kaminski received a jump-start penalty, and Payton Anderson, who delivered a dominant, wire-to-wire win in 100cc Junior. Nolan Gagnon and Michael Faker claimed clear victories in the Shifter categories, while Luis Martinez extended his win streak in 60cc Cadet. Kingston Deamer stole the Briggs 206 Shootout heat in a final-lap thriller while Scott Falcone was the class of the Masters field. On Sunday, Kaminski bounced back to take the 100cc Senior win and clinch the series championship, while Popescu and Mann captured Junior and Masters wins, respectively. Tarango executed a masterful final-lap move to win in Cadet, and Grote inherited victory in the 206 Shootout after a penalty to Ruess. With six champions crowned, the series looks ahead to its 19th season in 2026. Faker and Gagnon doubled up in the shifter categories.
