July 3 – 5, 2026 — Results: P1 + P2 = Weekend Champion
Motorsports Country Club | 4th of July Weekend 🇺🇸🏁
Heading back to Motorsports Country Club in Ohio for the first time in over a year brought back a lot of great memories.
This weekend had a familiar feel. We teamed up with our BJR partner team, JOA, for tent support, Dad jumped back on the wrenches as Callen's mechanic for the holiday weekend, and Mom was there keeping everything running smoothly. We even had the RV parked on-site with Carter and our newest crew member, Benny, along for the adventure.
It truly felt like old times.
On the track, Callen was fast from the moment the weekend started. He picked up the Day 1 victory, so for Day 2 we decided to challenge him a little. Instead of giving him every advantage, we bolted on an older engine and sent him out on used tires. We wanted him to focus on race craft, not just speed.
Callen rose to the challenge, leading nearly the entire race. A small mistake in the closing laps dropped him to P2, but he never stopped fighting. More importantly, his consistency throughout the weekend earned him the overall weekend championship. 🏆
Winning is always exciting, but weekends like this are even more rewarding. They remind us that growth comes from being challenged, adapting, and continuing to improve.
Now it's time to build on the momentum and keep pushing forward. 👊🏁
USPKS- New Castle
June 25 – 28, 2026 — Results: P9
Back at New Castle
Callen had a great run in Heat 1. He led some of the race and almost had it but the draft and the finish line isn't favorable to the leader.
Check out this exciting heat race on Kart Chaser.

June 5 – 6, 2026 — Results: P1
What a weekend! 🏁
Callen found his rhythm early and was locked in from the first session. After putting together a strong race, he crossed the finish line with an incredible 10-second victory.
What makes this win even more special is that the Switchback used to be Callen's least favorite layout. Instead of avoiding the challenge, he kept showing up, putting in the work, and improving every lap. It's a great reminder that your biggest weaknesses can become your greatest strengths when you're willing to outwork them.
Now it's time for Rounds 5 & 6 on July 17-18, where the series returns to the Switchback layout. Can Callen keep the momentum rolling and continue his domination? Stay tuned! 👊🏆
Stars- New Castle
May 29 – 31, 2026 — Results: P9
Back at New Castle 🏁
APEX - New Castle
May 15 – 17, 2026 — Results: P5
Back at New Castle for the first time this season! 🏁
Callen showed incredible speed all weekend and put himself in position to fight for the win. In the final, he led most of the race, controlling the pace from the front. On the last lap, he focused a little too much on defending, which allowed the pack to close in. With a drag race to the finish line and a cluster of karts charging to the checkered flag, he ultimately came away just short of the result we were chasing.
While the finishing position wasn't what we wanted, the pace was undeniable. Every lap continues to build confidence, race craft, and experience against some of the toughest competition in the country.
We'll take the positives, learn from the finish, and come back even stronger.
IAME Grands- Trackhouse
April 30 – May 3, 2026 — Results: P9
The IAME Grands was full of highs and lessons. We had the speed to run at the front all weekend, but a few racing incidents kept us from finishing where we knew we belonged.
Even with the setbacks, the pace was there every time we hit the track, and we're leaving with plenty of confidence heading into the next race.
A huge honor was being invited to compete in the evening Shootout, an invitation-only race featuring a select group of drivers racing for prize money. It was an awesome experience and another opportunity to compete against some of the best.
We'll keep building, keep learning, and keep chasing checkered flags. On to the next. 🏁💪

April 17–19, 2026 — Results: P3

April 10–12, 2026 — Callen Berghoefer showed strong pace all weekend in the KA100 Junior class. He qualified P2 and remained a front-runner throughout the heats. In Heat 3, while battling for P2, Callen was sandwiched between two karts just 30 feet from the finish line, causing a spin that dropped him back to P14 and resulted in damage to the race engine. Despite the setback, Callen fought back in the Final, starting P10 and finishing strong with a P7 result.
