About Matthew
Matthew is a 11 year old winged kart racing from Little Rock, IA. We are getting ready to embark on our 4th season of winged kart racing in 2025! In 2023 we raced in the Rbox 1 class, and in 2024 we be moved up a class to Rbox 2! Most of our 2024 season was cut off due to the flooding in Northwest Iowa effecting our home and garage, but we ran closer to a full schedule in 2025. In 2026, we'll move to BP (Junior Wing). This is the top class of winged kart racing in the upper-Midwest!

2026 Plans
As we move up to the BP class, we want to travel more! We want to hit a few highlight events around the region as travel and time allow.
Our primary focus will be to see a few new venues and also race close to home when we can! We'll run a couple of the Mid-Central Showdown Series races, and we also plan to run as often as possible at Plessis Motor Speedway and Kee Kart Speedway.
If we can fit in University Plains, Golden Spike, and maybe one other we'll consider that a great season. Our plan is to race 15 times at at least 5 different tracks. In addition to this, Matthew will also begin his infield reporting career at Huset's Speedway on Sunday nights.
