Brandon Jarsocrak Racing: 2025 Season Review

Landmark season for growing race team from club level to national programs

Brandon Jarsocrak Racing enjoyed a successful 2025 season

If there was a major event running in the US in 2025, Brandon Jarsocrak Racing was there. The team was at the kart track for over half the weekends this past year. The team’s schedule began with the WKA Daytona KartWeek event in Florida and continued with the Superkarts! USA Winter Series in Orlando. The United States Pro Kart Series and Superkarts! USA Pro Tour, along with following the Stars Championship Series, accounted for 14 weekends alone between March and September. Add in the IAME USA Grand National Championship, RMC US Trophy Final, ROK Vegas and the SKUSA SuperNationals 28 and its easy to see how the travel program was full for BJR in 2025.

“We had a lot of great performances throughout the year in 2025,” stated Brandon Jarsocrak, owner of Brandon Jarsocrak Racing. “Pauly Massimino had a phenomenal year, probably the best of his career, and he was quite likely the best all-around driver in the USA. Our young drivers stepped up toward the end of the season as well. Our main goal was the development for the rest of our drivers. Each improved with every weekend. The success we achieved by our drivers at the front helps to motivate all of our customers to show the potential each and every race.”

The team’s wins and championships came across the busy season from Cadet to Master. Below is a recap of notable results and championship finishes.

At its core, Brandon Jarsocrak Racing is founded on developing drivers at the club and regional level. BJR calls Trackhouse Motorplex in Mooresville, North Carolina home and competed in the Trackhouse Motorplex Karting Challenge. The program featured nine weekends in 2025, and included IAME and Briggs & Stratton categories. Over the course of the year, BJR welcomed an average of 24 drivers per weekend under the tent, working with the multiple coaches and data specialists at each race. The hard work put in resulted in 34 total wins on the season, and a stellar 83 podium finishes. One of the primary highlights of the year was three Trackhouse Motorplex Karting Challenge championships.

Josh Ward – KA100 Heavy
Christopher McKeithan – Briggs Senior

“The sheer numbers we have at the club races compared to the major events make those weekends a bit more challenging,” added Jarsocrak. “Thankfully, we’ve been able to put together a crew that keeps our direct coaching and customer service at the same level no matter the numbers we have under the tent. The combination has proven to be successful with the results we have achieved over the last few years and hope to continue to do in 2026.”

Over the last few seasons, Brandon Jarsocrak Racing has carried a partnership with Precision Performance Karting and Coyote Racing Chassis. Jarsocrak was part of the development of the Coyote Zenith chassis that is utilized in full-size Briggs 206 competition. The success over the last few seasons has seen the Coyote brand expand across the country, and into the karting market in Canada as well. It was a record setting year for PPK / BJR driver Christopher McKeithan as he grabbed wins and championships spanning from Canada to Florida and Texas to Ohio, and finally Indiana, for the big one in Briggs 206 competition – the CKNA Grand Nationals. Christopher, along with others, added to the success of the collaboration between BJR, PPK and Coyote.

“I’ve really enjoyed working on our Briggs program with PPK and Coyote,” Jarsocrak continued. “To see where we were when the collaboration first began to where we are now is amazing. The best part is seeing the development of the drivers from when they first started racing with us to see where they have progressed. It’s what made me start this company and race team.”

“The work that the crew of mechanics and coaches does not go unnoticed as well. It was a crazy schedule in 2025 and they put in the work every weekend. None of this is possible without the great customers we worked with this past year. We hope each driver reached their goal and we look forward to a great 2026 ahead.”

The schedule for the 2026 season at Brandon Jarsocrak Racing will mirror that of this past year, attending the same major programs and events from January to December, kicking things off in days with the annual WKA Daytona KartWeek at Daytona International Speedway in Florida and following it up with the opening weekend of the Superkarts! USA Winter Series at Speedsportz Racing Park in New Caney, Texas.
