Carter Riddle joins Bobby Krug Racing Services Race Team

Bobby Krug Racing Services (BKRS) is thrilled to announce Carter Riddle as the newest addition to its 2026 driver lineup. Riddle will represent the team in the highly competitive 206 Senior class of the Route 66 Sprint Series and various events throughout the season, bringing an impressive resume with him.

At just 15 years old, Riddle has already compiled a staggering 70+ race wins, 120+ podium finishes, and 7 championships, with the potential to add as many as three more titles before the end of the 2025 season. In addition to his championship resume, Riddle was named Gateway Kartplex Racing Forward Driver of the Year in 2021, became the youngest Senior driver, winner, and champion in the Ignite program’s history, first recipient of the Gateway Kartplex Ignite 100 Scholarship kart and made history as the first driver to sweep the Margay/Gateway Triple Crown of championships — Ignite, SuperComp, and Ignite Challenge.

“I am super excited to begin a new racing adventure with Bobby Krug Racing Services, where I will have the opportunity to improve both on and off the track,” said Riddle. “Competing at a higher level will give me the chance to gain experience and to challenge myself against some of the best racers in the region. I am also looking forward to joining a proven team that can provide me with the equipment and knowledge to make the 2026 season a great one!"

BKRS Owner Bobby Krug added: "Seeing Carter’s journey has been incredible. He started as a fan of my videos, then I had the chance to do his very first lead-follow session at the Kartplex. Since then, he’s grown into one of the top drivers at the facility, racking up wins and championships. Having him join our 2026 program is a full-circle moment and a testament to the kind of talent we want to continue developing at BKRS."

Riddle will debut with BKRS in the Route 66 Sprint Series, which features premier events across the Midwest with stops at New Castle Motorsports Park on May 1-3, Norway Motorsports Park on June 5-7, Badger Kart Club on July 17-19, and the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex at Road America on August 14-16. With Carter’s pedigree of success and BKRS’s proven support structure, the team is well-positioned for a strong campaign in the 206 Senior class.
