Meet Your Sugar River Raceway Drivers!

Not only are Wesley Hatleberg’s karts perhaps the best looking at Sugar River Raceway, but you will also find him driving them up front almost every race day. Wesley just finished his second season in the Briggs & Stratton Racing 206 Junior 1 Class. After a third-place Rookie of the Year campaign in 2025, Wesley followed up on his first-year success by winning the 2026 Junior 1 Division overall points championship. In addition to winning the overall championship, he placed first overall in the Red, White, and Blue Series for 2026 and set the Junior 1 Division’s single-lap track record.

Adding to his racing accomplishments, Wesley’s Dale Earnhardt Sr. Wrangler Jeans throwback Coyote Motorsports FX-1 was voted Best Looking Kart in 2025. His Days of Thunder City Chevrolet-themed Merlin Racing - MRC cadet kart is already a favorite for the 2026 award. He would like to give special recognition to Bud Weiser Chevrolet Cadillac in Beloit for sponsoring both karts over the last two seasons.

Wesley’s most memorable Sugar River Raceway moment was carrying the checkered flag around the oval for a victory lap after his first win. His favorite competitor to race against is Garrett Simler. The competition between the two has made both of them better drivers. Wesley’s future racing goals are to further dial in consistent lap times and learn to adapt better to various driving conditions.

There are several individuals Wesley would like to thank for his success and supporting his racing, including his mom Lindsey Hatleberg and dad Josh, family, Uncle Nick Hatleberg , Searles Racing crew, Pierce Racing #10 (Natalie and Matt), Rob Wilhelmi, and the Jacobson Racing team.

To make the most of this gift from Mother Nature, we want to go big for what could be our last Turn Key Thursday event of the year (weather permitting).

• 🏆 One to the race winner

There is no better time this year to hop behind the wheel of Wisconsin's fastest rental karts!

🏁 Event Details:
• Entry Fee: $70
• Registration: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM (Racing starts immediately after)
• Early Bird Practice: Come before 6:00 PM to practice for an additional $20.

Meet Your Sugar River Raceway Drivers! In his third year of racing, Noah Marsh broke through and became this year's Sugar River Raceway Kid Kart division Champion after a third-place campaign in 2025. He also placed second in the Red, White, and Blue Series in 2026.

Noah races a Kid Coyote by Coyote Motorsports that is powered by a Briggs & Stratton Racing 206 engine, which set the Kid Kart division's all time track record earlier this season. Noah was sponsored this year by Effervescent Esthetics LLC, Colberg Hi-Performance Tractor Repair (Mark Colberg), The NAPA Network Racing (Tom Fuchs), Ho**er Harness (Scott Phillips), Pierson Design (Dave Pierson).

Noah's favorite part of racing is holding the checkered flag during a victory lap and playing with his buddies between races. His favorite person to race against is the driver that ran first and second with him all season, Cullen Johnson. His goal next year is to repeat as champion and turn a lap time below 40 seconds.

Noah would like to recognize his parents Sarah Marsh and Jeremy Marsh, Searles and Chris Searles, Gary Eisenhower Jr and NDE Racing - Noah Eisenhower, and all of the Sugar River racing families that helped him over the years.

Meet Your Sugar River Raceway Drivers! Today we feature Cullen Johnson.

Cullen just completed his second season in the Kid Kart class, racing a Margay Racing LLC Wildcat chassis powered by a Briggs & Stratton Racing 206 engine.

In 2025, Cullen was named Kid Kart Rookie of the Year and finished fourth in championship points. In 2026, he placed first in the Red, White, and Blue Series and second in the overall championship.

His favorite person to race against is his buddy, Noah Marsh, and he is looking forward to moving up to the Junior 1 class to race with Zander Jacobson again.

Cullen’s goals are to reclaim the Kid Kart class track record and win a track championship before moving up through the ranks.

Cullen would like to recognize his mom Emily Johnson and dad Marc Johnson, along with all the family and friends who came out each week to watch and support him.

To learn more about racing Kid Karts and other classes at Sugar River Raceway, please stop in or reach out to us at (608) 897-2898.
