As one of the most anticipated events on any karter’s calendar, the World Karting Association (WKA) Daytona KartWeek is a must-attend for North American teams and drivers and just today, the event was nominated for the Best Sports Event of 2017. Nominated by the readers of SportsTravel for a 2018 SportsTravel Award, the WKA organization was the only motorsports organization of any kind that received a nod.
“Wow!” expressed Kevin Williams, President of the WKA. “We pride ourselves on good racing and putting on great events, so receiving a nomination of the stature really shows how much effort our staff puts into our events. Our goal is to ensure that every team and driver leaves at the event’s conclusion with a smile and wanting to come back the following year.”
With voting open until August 15th, 2018, the WKA Daytona KartWeek event can be found on the awards ballot that appears at www.SportsTravelAwards.com. The WKA Daytona KartWeek can be seen on the ballot in two separate divisions:
– Amateur Sport – Best Sports Event, Series, or Circuit
– Overall Best Sports Event of 2017
Williams added, “I would invite and welcome all of the karting community, including your friends and family, to vote and vote often. This is exciting news and helps promote karting to the world outside of motorsports.”
The winners of the 2018 SportsTravel Awards will be announced at TEAMS ’18 in Louisville, Kentucky during the week of October 1-4, 2018. More information about TEAMS ’18 can be found at www.teamsconference.com.
