Kart Rising, the official importer and distributor of Tillotson Racing, continues to accelerate the growth of the T4 Series in the United States, confirming a strengthened national structure built around the T4 Americas Cup, T4 Eastern Cup, Texas Sprint Race Series, and the Florida Karting Championship. This expansion reflects the rapid increase in participation, competitive depth, and international visibility of the T4 platform across North America.

Designed as a true merit-based racing ladder, the T4 ecosystem allows drivers to progress from grassroots competition in Florida, through regional championships on the East Coast, and into international-level events via the Americas Cup. Across all levels, the guiding principle remains unchanged: talent, discipline, and performance must prevail over budget or circumstance. As part of this continued growth, Kart Rising is proud to formally recognize Jeyson Herrera as the Official T4 Series Sports Ambassador for the United States of America.

“The growth we are seeing with the T4 platform in the United States confirms that there is a strong demand for a racing environment where talent and discipline truly determine results,” said Jacob Mottaz, Director of Kart Rising. “Jeyson Herrera represents exactly what the T4 Series stands for. His career, his resilience, and his performance in international competition demonstrate that the system works — that a driver with ability, commitment, and the right mindset can rise through the sport. His role as ‘Sports Ambassador’ will help us inspire the next generation of drivers and accelerate the development of the T4 Series across the country.”

This appointment reflects a clear alignment between Herrera’s competitive background, on-track results, and professional conduct, and the core philosophy of the T4 Series. From its inception, T4 has been built on the belief that talent, passion, commitment, and merit-based performance must come before financial advantage. Jeyson’s career represents these values in a genuine and proven way, making him a natural choice for this role.

Herrera is a Panamerican Champion and an internationally-active racing driver, with experience competing against elite fields in highly demanding environments. In 2023, he represented Colombia at the T4 Nations Cup, racing against top drivers from multiple countries under equal technical conditions. In 2025, he was selected as a driver for the official T4 Team in the United States, representing Team USA at the T4 Nations Cup.

During that event, Jeyson achieved the strongest result in his class among all American drivers, outperforming the other U.S. representatives within Team USA. This result carried particular significance given the depth of the international field and the fully spec nature of the competition, reinforcing his status as one of the leading T4 drivers in the Americas.

Beyond individual results, Herrera has become a respected on-track reference for drivers across the United States and Latin America. His professionalism, racecraft, and approach to competition have positioned him as a benchmark within the paddock, particularly for developing drivers who see in his career a clear example of what is possible within the T4 system.
His journey—built without the typical financial advantages often present in motorsport—reinforces the core T4 message: preparation, discipline, and commitment can still lead to success at the highest level.

In addition to his role as an active competitor, Herrera has played a meaningful role in the ongoing development of the T4 racing product. Through testing, competition, and direct driver feedback, he has contributed to the refinement of chassis performance, setup philosophy, and overall race experience, helping ensure that the T4 platform delivers a professional, competitive, and accessible environment for drivers worldwide.

For these reasons, and for his strong alignment with the values of the championship, Kart Rising proudly appoints Jeyson Herrera as Official T4 Series Sports Ambassador for the United States. He is recognized not only as a top-level international driver, but as a highly credible representative of the series—one whose presence positively impacts the championship, its competitors, and the broader motorsport community across the U.S. and the Americas.

With expanding grids, a growing national calendar, and a clearly defined pathway from Florida to international competition, the T4 Series is redefining what modern, talent-driven karting looks like in the United States.
