The Toyota Gazoo Racing North America (TGRNA) GR Cup Series is proud to partner with Cup Karts North America (CKNA) as a co-presenting sponsor of the 2025 Grand Nationals 9. We’re excited to join forces with CKNA for one of the most competitive and community-driven karting events in the country.
Through this event, TGRNA will introduce the GR Cup Racer Camp at Grand Nationals 9. The top three finishers in Senior Light and Senior Medium will earn an exclusive invitation to a three-day training experience at the Toyota Performance Center (TPC) in Mooresville, NC. These six drivers will be evaluated on key aspects of motorsports performance—including strength, stamina, reaction time, and heat management—while also gaining valuable insight into preparation, nutrition, mental wellness, and recovery.
“Partnering with Cup Karts North America allows us to connect directly with passionate racers who represent the future of our sport,” said Mike Norem, Manager of Customer Racing, TRD U.S.A. “The GR Cup Racer Camp is an incredible opportunity to give young drivers access to the same tools, training, and resources we provide our athletes at the TPC, and we’re excited to see the talent that emerges from this program.”
CKNA and the GR Cup share a strong connection through their commitment to competitive, accessible racing and their dedication to fostering the next generation of motorsports talent. By showcasing the skill and determination of karting’s rising stars, CKNA builds the foundation for motorsports success.
The Grand Nationals 9 will take place at New Castle Motorsports Park in New Castle, Indiana, on September 24–28. For more information, click here.
