The penultimate round of the 2025 ProKart Challenge took place at the Sonoma Raceway karting circuit over the August 23-24 weekend. It was the first time since 2017 that Superkarts! USA hosted an event at the Sonoma, California facility. The weekend weather was perfect for racing around the ‘National Pro’ layout, welcoming the second largest event of the season at over 160 entries competing in the 11 categories.
A total of 46 drivers contested the Formula Works KA100 Senior category on the weekend with the same end result as the first four rounds. Chase Hand was able to set fast time in qualifying, posting a 48.499 lap to edge out four-time race winner Keagan Kaminski by 75 thousandths. Hand was shuffled out of the lead on the opening lap of the Prefinal by Kaminski but returned to the point on lap three. He led until lap 10 with Texas Sprint Racing Series champion Jesus Vasquez Jr. taking control and the race win – as Jackson Menchu slipped into second. After leading the opening three laps of the Final, Vasquez dropped down to fifth as Hand took over the lead. Vasquez fought back to reclaim the top spot by lap 10. Hand led for a second time on lap 17, showing the way to the white flag. During the final circuit, Kaminski was able to work past Hand. Leading only the final lap, Kaminski celebrated his fifth straight victory on the season. Hand was short at the line by 58 thousandths, with Menchu joining them on the podium in third. Stephen Eisert and Ryan Persing finished fourth and fifth.

The 2025 event will be similar to last year with the same nine categories to be offered in addition to a comparable event format and schedule.

X30 Junior and Master Shifter along with Mini Swift and Micro Swift round out the class roster for SKUSA SuperNationals 28.
“The first 27 editions of the SuperNationals have been historic and we aim to bring another memorable week in Las Vegas this November,” stated Tom Kutscher of Superkarts! USA. “Our planning for SuperNats 28 began last year as we wrapped up the 2024 edition and has continued every week. We are now in the area to begin refining our plans, including opening the registration process, setting up the host hotel, and planning out the facility, including the track layout. The last three editions were among the biggest in the history of the event, and our goal is to continue that momentum for 2025.”
