that kart looks badass! Congrats

Congrats man. Guy I went to school with Regan Smith started out in go karts. Now hes running with DEI In the sprint cup series. Good luck man

congrats bro awesome take advantage of the oppurtunity not many people get that chance

pro kart racer now! that's awesome

thanks everyone. this is definitely an oppurtunity of a lifetime. i remember when i was at nationals a few years back and strugglin tryin to keep up with the big teams with them just outpowerin me down the straightaways. i just couldnt keep up with them. itll be nice bein on the other side of the pits racin with the big teams.

i remember talkin to this one kids dad that had a lot of national championships and he said their budget for a season was 1.2 mil. yes, that is really overkill and a lot of fast guys out there dont spend near that much but it just shows that karting can be just as much of a money sport than other forms of racing.

i just hope this is even anything close to as big as an opportunity as i got 4 years ago. i ran for Redbull at Infineon Raceway for their formula 1 driver search. the top 6 moved up to the next stage in Sebring. i was running in the final heat in 4th place right on the bumper of the front 3. i got spun out, fell to 12th, caught back up to 7th. the guy that won that driver search was Scott Speed and was the first american driver since Mario Andretti to run formula 1. the #22 kart is me in the pic.

congratz man!!!! good luck. As said in a popular movie....burn rubber, not ur soul...lol





(thats ghey)



Good luck tho man!

there was a little change in plans that had me kinda worried for a little bit but everything worked out great and is finalized. it was the motor builder that had recomended me to the kart company as it was a team effort between the two. but the kart company wanted to get someone in the seat that was somewhat new to try to develop a driver but the motor builder wanted someone already really experienced so it didnt work out with them. he decided to stop dealing with them and went to another company called Intrepid. the kart should be showing up next week at his shop and there is a possibility that i may be running in the final regional race this year in a couple weeks.

heres what the kart looks like.

Congrats Chase! Since I have had to work every day all summer long my son has not been able to race at all. There are some indoor dirt races near here one Saturday a month this winter so hopefully we can do well there. I can only hope that he can be recognized like you were and be able to move into such a position. Great Job!!

Here's what this year's kart looks like:

Thats awesome man congrats!
