KA100 Senior podium

After the series’ first event outside California, competitors returned to K1 Circuit in Winchester for Round 6 of the 2026 Champions of the Future America season.

For only the second time in circuit history, drivers competed on a reverse layout featuring the D’s, Chicane, and Tic-Tac-Toe. Despite being the first race of summer, it was the coolest event of the year so far, with temperatures remaining in the low to mid-70s.

Tire supplier Presa by Maxxis once again provided all competitors with race tires throughout a pivotal weekend in the championship fight.

Two drivers celebrated their first Champions of the Future America victories: Benjamin Monroy (Position One Motorsports) and Christian Brooks (Axis Kartsport).

Meanwhile, Maddax Carlucci (Nash Motorsportz), Braydon Wagner (Formula Works Racing), Joshua Daley (Nash Motorsportz), and Sergei Karamseili (Maxwell Sim Racing Team) added to their win totals.

Mini U10 podium

Series newcomer Benjamin Monroy (Position One Motorsports) enjoyed the perfect debut weekend, sweeping every heat race to secure pole position for the Final.

Round 5 winner Lucas Freitas Melo (Nash Motorsportz) briefly grabbed the lead on the opening lap before Monroy reclaimed it on Lap 2. Lyon McPhail (Team Kartnick) later passed Freitas Melo for second on Lap 7, but Monroy had already pulled clear.

Monroy dominated to win the class and finish sixth overall in the combined Mini/Mini U10 race. McPhail finished second, while Freitas Melo earned another podium in third. Championship leader Carson Bishop (Bishop Motorsports) settled for fourth.

Caeawen Adriano (Precision Driving Concepts) finished fifth, Sebastian Matyjaszczyk (Precision Works & Pickle Rick Racing) sixth, Brandt Schlemmer seventh, Jaxxon von Freckleton (Precision Works) eighth, Timothy Borodavchenko ninth, and Riley Juarez (Precision Driving Concepts) completed the top ten.

MINI: Carlucci Returns to Victory Lane

Mini podium

After a costly spin in Round 5, Maddax Carlucci (Nash Motorsportz) bounced back by winning two Qualifying Heats and the Super Heat to secure pole position. Series newcomer Chase Riddering (Forward Direction Motorsports) claimed the remaining Qualifying Heat victory.

Carlucci led a Nash Motorsportz one-two at the start ahead of teammate Benjamin Tavi (Nash Motorsportz), while Round 5 winner Lachlan Postle (Formula Works) quickly joined the fight for the lead. Tavi briefly took over the lead midway through the race before Carlucci reclaimed the position one lap later. Asher Biezonsky (Competition Speed) also entered the battle as the front four separated themselves from the rest of the field.

Postle mounted a final-lap challenge, but Carlucci held on by just 0.04 seconds to claim victory. Tavi completed the podium in third.

Biezonsky finished fourth, Riddering fifth, Kendall West (Position One Motorsports) sixth, Matthew Paciulli (HRT) seventh, Emiliano Hernandez (Position One Motorsports) eighth, Gunner Vrobel (Position One Motorsports) ninth, and Sebastian Ochi (Kartnick) tenth.

Carlucci extended his championship lead to 67 points over Biezonsky, while West remains third, 28 points further back.

KA100 Junior: Wagner Wins After Hauser Penalty

KA100 Junior podium

Championship leader Sebastian Hauser (HRT) continued his strong form by winning two Qualifying Heats to secure pole position. Luis Martinez (Position One Motorsports) earned his first Qualifying Heat victory, while Daniel Ramirez (Axis Kartsport) captured his first Super Heat win.

Martinez took the lead at the start before Hauser regained control a few laps later. Braydon Wagner (Formula Works Racing) steadily worked into contention as Martinez, Hauser, and Wagner traded positions throughout a fiercely contested race.

Hauser crossed the finish line first ahead of Wagner and Martinez, but was assessed a four-position penalty for contact with Wagner earlier in the race. The penalty promoted Wagner to victory, Martinez to second, and Ramirez to his first podium in third.

Diesel Biezonsky (Competition Speed) finished fourth, Hauser dropped to fifth, Arran Speirs (Nash Motorsportz) sixth, Wyatt Kroeger seventh, Troy Ferguson (Kartnick) eighth, Henry Escalette (HRT) ninth, and Jet Whipple tenth.

Despite the setback, Hauser retains the championship lead, although Wagner cut the margin to just 21 points. Ferguson remains third in the standings.

KA100 Senior – Brooks Scores Debut Win, Eversman on Top

Matthew Cagle (Formula Works) rebounded from a difficult Round 5 by sweeping all three Qualifying Heats to secure pole position, while John Michael Dunnigan (Precision Works) claimed his first Super Heat victory.

Archer Eversman (Axis Kartsport) jumped into the lead at the start as Christian Brooks (Axis Kartsport) immediately established himself among the frontrunners. Multiple lead changes followed before Brooks moved to the front for good, with Eversman, Cagle, and Jackson Gibson all remaining within striking distance entering the final lap.

A dramatic final lap and several post-race penalties reshuffled the finishing order. Brooks secured victory in his series debut, while Gibson’s penalty promoted Eversman to second and Cagle to third.

Gibson finished fourth, Kalani Anaya (2B Racing) fifth, Greyson Shobert (Neliton Race Concepts) sixth, Jackson Menchu (Calvo Driver Development) seventh, Ayden Aquino (Kartnick) eighth, Ivanna Richards (HRI/2B Racing) ninth, and Luis Perez (Mike Manning Karting) tenth.

The championship lead also changed hands, with Eversman moving 52 points ahead of Johnie Stamps. Cagle remains third in the standings.

KA100 Heritage: Daley Dominates

KA100 Heritage podium

Returning after missing Round 5, Joshua Daley (Nash Motorsportz) swept every heat race to claim pole position. Series newcomer Airel Abba (Mike Manning Karting) lined up alongside him, while Alex Gutierrez (Mike Manning Karting) was unable to start after mechanical issues before the race.

Daley led throughout, although Abba remained within striking distance for much of the race. Daley ultimately secured victory by 2.6 seconds, while Pietro Moro (Mike Manning Karting) completed the podium after holding off Andrei Isac (Tecnokart).

Tony Gomez (Lakeside Karting) finished fifth, Gutierrez was classified sixth despite not starting, and Craig Vasquez (Mike Manning Karting) finished seventh.

As a result of his win, Daley shaved nearly 40 points from Gomez’s lead, but the Lakeside Karting driver still enjoys an 184-point gap. Andrei Isac still sits in third.

X30 Pro: Karamseili Clinches the Championship With Win

Keagan Kaminski (Formula Works) earned pole position by winning two Qualifying Heats and the Super Heat, while Sergei Karamseili (Maxwell Sim Racing Team) claimed the remaining heat victory.

Although Karamseili lost positions at the start, he quickly recovered, passing Shane Hawkins (Lakeside Karting) before catching and overtaking Kaminski on Lap 5. Any hopes of a battle for the win ended when Kaminski developed a right-rear issue, allowing Karamseili to cruise to an 18-second victory.

Kaminski finished second, while Hawkins completed the podium.

With strong finishes in every race this season, Karamseili has mathematically secured the 2026 X30 Pro championship. His 328-point advantage over Cayden O’Connor can no longer be overcome with only 300 points left to score. Erik Doan remains third, just one point behind O’Connor.
