Sponsored Drivers

From sponsoring many series around the United States to sponsoring drivers, we do our best to give back to the sport we love. Check out our 2023 sponsored drivers. Since karting is the stepping stone to being a professional race car driver, look out, one day you might see them in your favorite pro racing series.

In the past year our Acceleration drivers were able to bring home more than 80 podium finishes, ROK the RIO and SuperNationals victories, and championships in local, regional, and national series. We are looking forward to each of our driver’s journey in 2023 and are excited to be a part of it.
