One category that has continually produced excitement and drama at the SKUSA SuperNationals is Mini Swift. The class has been a category at the SuperNats since 2016 and before that as ‘TaG Cadet’ beginning in 2010. Over the course of 13 previous editions, the class has seen 13 different winners. The list of victors includes Formula One, IndyCar, and NASCAR drivers of today.
During that span, no driver has been able to defend their victory. The opportunity now sits in front of 2023 SuperNationals winner Royce Vega (Team Benik). The Texan had a successful season in 2024 that began with winning the SKUSA Winter Series championship along with the USPKS title this year. He finished with one victory and fourth in the final standings for the SKUSA Pro Tour. Vega was scheduled to compete the week before Vegas at the IAME Warrior Final in Spain, however, the flooding disaster postponed the event to post-SuperNationals at another location in Spain. With his return confirmed, this will be Vega’s second start in Mini Swift at the SuperNats. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |

The Micro Swift division will welcome an eighth different winner during this year’s SuperSunday. The class made its debut in 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, welcoming six different winners from four different countries – Brazil, Great Britian, USA and Australia. The sold out field of 46 drivers features 18 drivers returning from last year while a majority of the field will be making their SuperNationals debut.
The last three Micro Swift winners hail from the USA – Keelan Harvick, Jackson Gibson and Maxwell Macha. The graduation of Macha to the Mini level opens the door for a new driver to add their name to the historic record books. One thing that can be duplicated is a driver winning both the SKUSA Pro Tour championship and the SuperNationals in the same year as Macha did in 2023. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |
