The Las Vegas Motor Speedway will play host to the annual event for a third time in its 27 editions, welcoming drivers from all over the world to Las Vegas, Nevada on November 13-17. The 2024 edition is projected to be one of the largest in event history, featuring multiple classes selling out and overall event total has already surpassed the 500-entry barrier.

Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino will serve as host hotel for the SKUSA SuperNationals 27
The journey to Superkarts! USA SuperNationals 27 is well underway as planning continues at full speed following the recent opening of registration. Over 200 entries have already been submitted since registration began only nine days ago for the November 13-17 event, which is set for a return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Four categories are over or near the 40 entry mark – including Mini Swift, Micro Swift, KA100 Junior and KA100 Senior – meaning that initial caps may be put in place for certain classes.
One of the major milestones in the planning for the SKUSA SuperNationals 27 is securing the host hotel. For a fifth time, the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino will welcome SKUSA and the karting community as the host hotel for the event.

The biggest race in North American karting will celebrate its 27th edition this fall when the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the week of November 13-17.
After a return to LVMS in 2023, SKUSA will again take their show to the North Las Vegas facility. The 2024 edition features a move of the actual trackside location to the back lot adjacent to where the event was run in 2021. That area of the facility will provide a significant increase in acreage for the SKUSA staff to lay out a new track design and paddock area.
As always, planning and preparations for this year’s event began in the days immediately following the last edition, and SKUSA is excited to get back to Vegas. Registration for this year’s SKUSA SuperNationals will open at 12:00 PM PDT on July 2, 2024. If you’re planning to participate in the race, it is recommended to enter as soon as possible – as SKUSA has confirmed that only four classes will be opened to the expanded 88-entry grid. Those classes set for competition at the SKUSA SuperNationals 27 include Micro Swift, Mini Swift, KA100 Junior, X30 Junior, KA100 Master, Master Shifter, KA100 Senior, Pro X30, and Pro Shifter.
First run in 1997 at the Las Vegas Karting Complex (XPlex), a purpose-built track located just south of Las Vegas on I-15, the SuperNationals quickly became the biggest karting event in North America. Over the last 26 editions, the race has been run at five different venues, including LVKC, the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, Sam Boyd Stadium, the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The event has enjoyed the participation of the sport’s best from around the world, as well as professional drivers like Michael Schumacher, Will Power, Sebastien Bourdais, Travis Pastrana, Dan Wheldon, Alexander Rossi, and two-time Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden. Current F1 drivers Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Lance Stroll, and Logan Sargeant also raced at the SuperNationals on their way to the world stage.
All of the same categories from the 2023 edition of the event will return this November, headlined by the Pro Shifter (KZ) and Pro X30 classes. |
