Florida's "smallest" traveling short track series, the "Thundering Herd" of the Desoto Champ Kart Series is proud to release it's 2009 schedule.
For the first time in it's history, the Desoto Champ Kart Series will visit 5 different stock car tracks during a season!
In 2008, eighty-one different drivers raced at least one Desoto Champ Kart Series event! The highest field of the year had 35 entries, while five other races had 24 or more entries! And, even though the economy impacted all of Florida's racing, the Desoto Champ Kart Series was one of the few racing series that continued to grow during 2008.

Stars: Think this is just a "go kart" series....?? In 2008, 2-time Defending TBARA Sprint Car Series champion Troy Decaire participated twice (finishing second and third), along with 2008 FASCAR Advanced Auto Parts Pro Truck 2nd Place points finisher Barry Bartlett (finished seventh), 2008 DSS Late Model Points Champion Dustin Chisholm (WIN), 2008 DSS Late Model Feature Winner Raymond Folwell, and ASA and United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series driver JR "The Machine" Garcia (finished seventh)!
Purse/Payout:
This series races for cash payouts at every event (for at least the top five drivers), along with trophies and contingency prizes. In addition, a year-end points fund is maintained. In 2008, the series awarded over $3,000 in prizes and contingencies from it's year-end points funds!
And, the series will end the 2009 season with a bang! Both the Friday night (Dec. 4) and Saturday night (Dec. 5) shows at Orlando Speedworld will pay a guaranteed $500 Cash to the winner (no minimum entries required)! So, if the same driver collects both wins, he/she will collect $1,000!
