Bobby Krug Racing Services is excited to announce the addition of James Mann to the VLR-factory supported Bobby Krug Racing Services Race Team for the full Route 66 Sprint Series and select Cup Karts North America events.
“Representing BKRS and VLR at the next level is an incredible opportunity,” Mann said. “I’m looking forward to racing against tough competitors at new tracks with a proven VLR race chassis and I can’t wait to get on track for the 2025 season.”
James Mann’s passion for racing stems back three generations where his great grandfather and grandfather competed in sports car racing. The St. Charles native is a fully Kartplex-made driver, competing in the Gateway Kartplex iDrive Rental Kart Series where he finished runner-up in 2022 and won the championship in 2023. With the Margay Ignite scholarship ride in 2024, Mann competed under the Bobby Krug Racing Services tent and finished in the Top 10 in final points in Ignite, SuperComp, and Challenge Series.
“BKRS is excited to add James to our VLR-powered race team this season,” Bobby Krug, owner of BKRS, said. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed coaching James and seeing his continued growth over the past few seasons and we expect him to be a top contender in the Route 66 Sprint Series and represent BKRS and our partners very well.”
