The final day of action at the MKP Nationals for the WKA Mazda/Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series at the JET Karting/Michiana Raceway Park in South Bend, Indiana.

Nine classes wrapped up the weekend that hosted a record number of total entries - 566 - for the facility. A number of drivers doubled up on the weekend in the win column as the entire paddock provided some of the best racing of the year.
