The City of Lancaster will announce the 2017 Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix (SOLGP) Scholarship winner at the event’s closing ceremonies Sunday, September 25. Introduced in 2013, the “SOLGP Scholarship” is an initiative designed to help one young driver fund an entire year of kart racing. The selection process includes a thorough review of not only the individual’s driving skills, but also factors such as off-track conduct, personality, and attitude. The goal is to select a recipient who exemplifies all aspects of a true professional. Last year’s recipient, Trey Brown, was humble, had a good attitude, and showed respect, both on and off the track. He also enjoyed going to the track and helping kids improve their driving skills.

Over the past seven years, the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour has grown into the largest national karting series in North America. Each event over the past two years has set new attendance marks and, confirming their commitment to building the sport and educating the masses, SKUSA has invested in a program with the CBS Sports Network that is introducing karting to new people with every Pro Tour broadcast. With a focus on continuing the growth of the series and the exposure of the sport, Superkarts! USA is proud to announce the schedule for the 2017 edition of the Pro Tour, which will feature an evolution in the program.
SKUSA will debut a new race to kick-off the 2017 season, as the first-ever WinterNationals will begin the schedule on March 2-4. The seventh annual SpringNationals will remain in the month of May and the SummerNationals will be moved to early August to extend the schedule later in the summer. SKUSA officials focused on working within the existing schedules, and in cooperation with the World Karting Association in adding the new event. The biggest change to the program with the addition of the WinterNationals is the SuperNationals will no longer be an official part of the Pro Tour circuit and will once again become a stand-alone event at the end of the season. The Superkarts! USA Pro Tour will remain a three-event schedule, which will now expand to six races as each event will feature the doubleheader format. The SummerNationals in August will be the finale for the 2017 Pro Tour and the champions will be crowned at this event.

It was a concept that initially circulated through the Pro Tour paddock at New Castle as SKUSA CEO Tom Kutscher gauged response for the idea, but it is now official: Superkarts!
