Power, Cindric to call karting event in NC

With a relatively quiet weekend of racing ahead among major North American pro series, a karting event in North Carolina featuring the expectedly offbeat commentary from Team Penske IndyCar driver Will Power and Penske NASCAR driver Austin Cindric has risen to fill the void. Veteran karting commentators Xander Clements and Caleb Smock will also call the races.

The inaugural IAME USA Grand National Championship will be held at the GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville from Thursday through Sunday, with three different track configurations in store for the seven classes.

Among the entrants, NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick’s son Keelan, and Oliver and Sebastian Wheldon, sons of the late IndyCar champion and double Indy 500 winner Dan Wheldon, will be among more than 100 kart racers of all ages who’ve traveled across the country to vie for $20,000 in cash and prizes.
