IMSA, in conjunction with NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick and NASCAR team Trackhouse Racing, has announced this year’s recipient of the Trackhouse Karting Career Advancement Award, which provides an opportunity for a promising karting driver to take the next step in their racing career.

Karter Christian Miles was honored during the IAME USA Grand National Championship in Mooresville, North Carolina, last week. Miles will receive a test day in an Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich Tires car. 

The one-day test session will be with Mazda MX-5 Cup team McCumbee McAleer Racing at a date and location to be determined. It includes professional driver coaching, including data and video review after each session, with a value in excess of $7,500.

“Growing up racing karts, I have a real passion for the sport,” said Harvick, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion. “This event is a great way to showcase the talent we have in North American kart racing. With the group that is involved, it is a real way to give back to karting and use all of our platforms to help promote kart racers.”

The award is supported by IMSA, Trackhouse Racing, and Harvick’s KHI Management.
