The Arizona sun wasn’t the only thing bringing the heat this past weekend at PKRA Summer Series Championship Race #5—the Next Level Karting team showed up in force, putting down strong results across nearly every class and continuing their momentum deep into the summer championship season.
Kid Kart
Young gun Maksim B. delivered a flawless performance, taking home 1st place in the Kid Kart division and proving once again that he’s one to watch as he builds on a stellar season. Smooth lines, sharp focus, and raw speed put him at the top step of the podium.
Junior 1
It was a tight battle in the Jr 1 field, with Jett F. driving a smart and aggressive race to bring home 3rd place and another well-earned podium finish. Teammates Eli S. and Travis A. crossed the line in 8th and 11th, respectively—showing great grit in a highly competitive pack. Maverick M. unfortunately did not start in the main event, but we know he’ll be back stronger next round.
Junior 2
The Jr 2 squad continued to gain valuable experience with Kennedy S. finishing 7th, Herman W. in 10th, and Jack I. rounding out the group in 12th. All three drivers showed improvement and racecraft as they continue their development at this tough transitional level.
206 Senior
It was a breakthrough day for Colin D., who scored his first official podium with a fantastic 3rd place finish in the highly competitive LO206 Senior class. His hard work, focus, and steady improvement all came together for a well-earned spot on the box—an exciting moment for the entire team. Teammates Nik H. and Tyler M. also showed great effort and determination, finishing 10th and 12th, respectively, while continuing to build their speed and confidence in the senior ranks.
ROTAX Senior
In the fast and furious ROTAX Senior division, Elijah L. held his own with a strong 6th place finish. His consistency and focus under pressure continue to pay off in a field full of horsepower and hungry drivers.
With every round, Next Level Karting continues to raise the bar—not just with podiums, but with perseverance, team spirit, and skill-building across all classes. As we gear up for the next round, one thing is clear: this team is going full throttle toward the championship finish line.
