Here’s Our 2025 State Championship Podium Finishers!
This past weekend, hundreds of racers from across the United States competed in the 2025 K1 Speed State Championships. We had FIVE NEW STATES participate in this year’s event from last year, which means we’ve now got racers from 29 states that will be invited to our U.S. Championships.
For the states that had just one K1 Speed center, the competition gave our Top 3 Challenge GP racers a unique opportunity to race a different layout of their hometown track without any pressure of not advancing to the National Championships. But for states with several K1 Speed locations, the competition was INTENSE. Perhaps no more so than in California, where racers from 15 different K1 Speed locations competed for a chance at one of only three spots.
At the end of the weekend, every racer who competed in the State Championship and finished in the Top 3 positions has earned a spot in our United States Championships held this spring at K1 Circuit. And so, without further ado, please join us in celebrating our podium finishers in this year’s State Championships who will advance to the 2025 U.S. Championships for their shot at competing in the ultimate competition – the 2025 K1 Speed E-World Championship!
