Rotax Junior MAX | Championship Finale 🏁
Sunday Race Report
Quali: P16
Pre-Main: P16 → P8 (+8)
Final: P8 → P4 (+4)

A challenging start to Sunday following a last-minute qualifying grid adjustment, but a strong recovery drive saw us gain 12 positions and finish just one spot short of the podium.
The result was enough to secure P5 overall in the Rotax Junior MAX Championship.

Congratulations to on the championship title and earning the ticket to the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals.

The standout race was Heat 2. After multiple lead changes and six or seven crossover passes for the lead, we managed to come out on top and take the win. Fast, hard racing from start to finish.

Competing in both Jr. Shifter and Rotax Junior MAX throughout the weekend made for a demanding schedule, but the pace and race craft was strong in both categories.

Can not thank enough for the hard work throughout the weekend, despite the tight schedule between sessions.

Also, I'd to thank for their support as well as .sport


Back to work

Rotax Junior MAX | Round 3 | MCC Ohio 🇺🇸
Qualifying: P1
Pre-Final: P2
Final: P5 on track (classified P7 after a +3 second tram line penalty)

A demanding day in 90°F+ (32°C+) temperatures and 56% humidity while pulling double duty in both Rotax Junior MAX and FZ85 Shifter.

A huge thank you to for providing me with a great Rotax package and driver support throughout the weekend. Thank you to my team and mechanic for making it possible to compete in Junior Max and FZ85 shifter classes. The turnaround between sessions was tight, and they worked incredibly hard all day to keep both karts prepared and competitive.

I'd also like to thank my sponsors .sport , and for their continued support.

Pushed and worked hard 💪

Good practice day at RMC Rotax America 🇺🇸

The FZ85 has been rock solid, and I'm really liking the new 2026 Factory Kart shifter chassis. The updates have improved rotation and helped the kart stay freer as the track gains grip, making it easier to be consistent and push harder.

Looking forward to race day.
Ready to roll 🏁

Douuble duty this weekend at the RMC Rotax American Trophy! 🇺🇸

Competing in:
FZ85 Shifter
Rotax Junior MAX

Twice the track time. Twice the challenge. An exciting opportunity to continue building speed, racecraft, and experience while competing in two very different classes.

Ready to push hard, learn, and battle for every position on track. One goal: keep improving and make every lap count.

A huge thank you to and for the support.

Let's make it a great weekend!

400 miles today from Redondo Beach to North Phoenix.

Not the glamorous side of racing, but probably one of the most important. We're spending the weekend training in the Arizona heat before heading to Cincinnati for the next MCC round.

Long days in the truck, long days at the track, doing everything we can to be prepared when race day comes around.

A lot happens behind the scenes that people don't see—the driving, the planning, the testing, the early mornings. It's all part of the process.

Now it's time to get some laps in.
