The United States Pro Kart Series (USPKS) is excited to announce a groundbreaking opportunity for racers participating in the highly competitive X30 Pro class starting Round 2 at the renowned Trackhouse Motorplex. In an effort to elevate the karting experience and reward talent, USPKS will offer a guaranteed purse of $10,000 with a remarkable 100% payback for each of the three remaining rounds. This means that if the entry count reaches the levels that are anticipated, there is potential for this to be one of the largest payouts in North American karting. With only 40 entries, the purse balloons to a staggering $26,000! The first $10k is guaranteed, with a minimum of $5k guaranteed to the winner! To add even more value, the top 5 finishers will also receive a set of MG Yellow tires, providing an extra layer of reward for the front-runners in this elite class.

This initiative reflects USPKS’s commitment to fostering the growth of karting across the United States and providing racers with the opportunity to compete at the highest level while being fairly compensated for their efforts. The X30 Pro class, known for its intense competition and skilled drivers, will take center stage as participants vie for a share of the lucrative purse. “Offering a guaranteed purse with full payback is a game-changer for our competitors,” said Mark Coats, CEO of USPKS. “We want to ensure that every driver feels valued and has the chance to showcase their talents in front of enthusiastic fans. The Trackhouse Motorplex provides the perfect backdrop for this exciting event, and we can’t wait to see the action unfold.” As part of this updated structure, USPKS is excited to share the specific prize breakdowns for the X30 Pro class based on the number of entries:
