Ups and Downs For Ben Stewart In USA


  27 July 2015

Queensland's Ben Stewart experienced the highs and lows of kart racing at the SKUSA SummerNationals Protour round in Indiana on the weekend.

The Arrow driver planted his machine on pole with fastest time in qualifying in the TaG Senior class, ahead of Oliver Askew and 58 other drivers.

Second in the opening heat (0.217s behind winner Christian Brooks) was followed by a DNF just three laps in to his second heat.

"The kart has amazing pace late in the race" he wrote on Facebook. "Unfortunately I had a DNF in heat 2 whilst running top 3 once again. Should of been starting the final in 1st or 2nd place."

Starting 17th in the final, Ben eventually ended up 18th.

Jesus Rios Jr won the Final ahead of Brandon Jarsocrak and Askew.
