Friday
There was a palpable tension in the Miller Motorsports Park paddock on Friday at the United States Rotax Max Challenge Grand Nationals. After practice and both qualifying and the first round of heat races, the drivers knew that it was the day to make or break their chances at a national podium. You would have expected that the drivers would play intelligently, but you would have been wrong, as on-track issues were aplenty, especially those focused at problematic starts. In the three categories to decide the Team USA for the Rotax Grand Finals, Tristan DeGrand (Senior), Derek Wang (DD2) and Dalton Sargeant (Junior) were on their game in the first two days to start championship Saturday at the top of the charts.

Thursday
The first day of racing completed on Thursday for the 2011 United States Rotax Max Challenge Grand Nationals at the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. Qualifying and the first round of heat races took place on the 9/10-mile course for the seven categories in six race groups. The weather was perfect all day, as the temperatures were comfortable thanks to a slight breeze blowing in from Salt Lake. At this point, there is no clean-cut favorite in the Senior category but the young drivers shine on day one. Florida driver Nick Neri was top qualifier but Tristan DeGrand and Kiel Spaulding - all Senior rookies - led the way in the opening round of heat races.
