The opening day of racing at the KartLift Nationals for the WKA Manufacturers Cup Series was a wild one. Racing around the Concept Haulers Motor Speedway in Norway, Illinois was fierce as the championship battles enter the fifth stage of the season. With every point vital, drivers are taking every effort to perform as best as possible. The weather played a major factor on the events of the day. Warm temperatures hit the area until a storm front rolled in just after the completion of the TaG Final. A number of tents were wrecked due to heavy rain and strong winds. Thankfully, everyone survived with no real injuries other than a few lost E-Z ups. A number of drivers stood out on the day, including Mason Chelootz, earning two victories on the day. Tommy Andersen put in a solid performance to score the win in TaG. The Yamaha SuperCan action brought back memories of the old hard-fought days. Ashley Rogero and Austin Osborne came from behind for their Junior wins and the Verhagen brothers each took home a victory.

The World Karting Association returns to the Concept Hauler Motor Speedway for the first time in four years, contesting the KartLift Nationals this weekend. The Mazda/Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series will host its fifth round of the 2012 season at the Norway, Illinois facility. The 3/4-mile course will challenge all the drivers in the 20 championship classes that continue their title fights this weekend.
The 12-turn CHMS facility was built in the early 1990s, currently owned by Les and Diann Finke, and has hosted a number of national and regional events during its history. Located outside the metropolitan-Chicago area, many of the best Midwest drivers have tamed the circuit a number of times in their career. The track is recognized for two distinct sections of the circuit, the fast monza corner and the tunnel turn.
