Sculthorpe Sweeps Intermediate Night as KBR/SKE Battles Through Millbridge Wednesday

SALISBURY, N.C. - Cole Sculthorpe put together a perfect night Wednesday at Millbridge Speedway, sweeping every portion of the SKE Intermediate program and giving Kyle Beattie Racing and SKE Chassis another trip to victory lane.

Sculthorpe set fast time, won his heat race, and then finished the job by winning the feature. The young British racer is now a weekly contender, as evidenced by yet another strong performance on Wednesday.

Emily Dietrich finished fifth in the Intermediate feature, while Kylea "Speedy" Beattie came home sixth.

Karter "Katfish" Beattie looked ready to add another strong Open Outlaw result after starting from the pole and leading the opening laps of the feature.

Mechanical trouble changed the night.

Karter was forced backward through the field and eventually finished seventh, ending what had begun as a promising run at the front.

His luck did not improve later in the Non-Wing Micro feature. Karter started 17th but did not finish and was credited with 19th.

Dietrich also competed in Restricted Micro and finished sixth.

For Sculthorpe, however, Wednesday was another reminder of just how strong his late-season run has become. Fast time, a heat win, and a feature victory made for a clean sweep of the night and another strong result for the KBR/SKE program.

The KBR/SKE family returns to Millbridge Speedway Saturday, Oct. 17, with on-track action beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Kylea Beattie Sweeps At Millbridge As KBR/SKE Momentum Continues!

SALISBURY, N.C. - Kylea "Speedy" Beattie's steady improvement throughout the 2026 season has been showing up in the results for months.

Wednesday night at Millbridge Speedway, it showed up everywhere.

Kylea put together one of the most complete nights she has ever had at Millbridge, setting fast time, winning her heat race, and then finishing the job with a victory in the SKE Intermediate feature.

For the Beattie family, it was another rewarding night during a late-season stretch that has given them plenty to celebrate.

Kylea's progress has been easy to see throughout the year, but lately the strong runs have started turning into checkered flags. She recently won twice during the family's trip to Canada, including victories at Little Middleton Speedway and the Northern Kart Nationals at Oshweken Speedway.

Now she has added a Millbridge victory to that run.

There is a lot of work behind those results.

Kyle Beattie Racing and SKE Chassis spend week after week preparing cars and karts not only for Karter and Kylea, but also for a growing group of customers who race under the KBR/SKE banner. When one of the Beattie kids wins, there is the natural pride that comes with watching your own child succeed. When one of the customers wins, there is plenty of satisfaction in that, too.

Wednesday gave the family another reason to enjoy what all of those long days and nights are producing.

Cole Sculthorpe finished seventh in the SKE Intermediate feature, while Emily Dietrich came home eighth.

Karter "Katfish" Beattie continued his own strong late-season run with a second-place finish in the Open Outlaw feature.

Karter has been piling up podium finishes and victories throughout the second half of the season, both at Millbridge and on the road. His recent stretch has included wins in the United States and Canada, and another runner-up finish Wednesday kept that momentum going.

Dietrich added a podium of her own with a third-place finish in the Restricted Micro feature.

New England racer Jace Pastore also made the trip south to compete with KBR/SKE, finishing eighth in the Winged Micro feature.

The results made for another strong night for an operation that has enjoyed a particularly good late summer and early fall.

Karter continues to win and run at the front. Kylea's improvement is now producing victories on both sides of the border. Sculthorpe has become a regular contender in Intermediate, and KBR/SKE customers continue to show up near the front across several divisions.

For a family that spends an incredible amount of time working on race cars, Outlaw Karts, Micro Sprints, and customer equipment, nights like Wednesday make the hours in the shop worth it.

Saturday's scheduled Millbridge event was rained out and will not be rescheduled.

Action at Millbridge resumes Tuesday, Oct. 13, Wednesday, Oct. 14, and Saturday, Oct. 17.

On-track action begins at 6:15 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday and Wednesday and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Stop out and enjoy some of the most exciting racing in the Carolinas, or watch live on DirtVision.

KBR also has rental Outlaw Karts and Micro Sprints available for drivers of the appropriate age and experience. Email [email protected] for more information.

Oh, Canada! Karter and Kylea Sweep Midweek Mains At Little Middleton, Oshweken

CONCORD, N.C. -- Karter and Kylea Beattie took quite a trip north of the border to race last week.

The brother-sister duo combined to win four Outlaw Kart features in two nights in Ontario, with each going two for two before Karter added a weekend of sprint car racing to the schedule.

The trip began Tuesday at Little Middleton Speedway, where both Beatties had to come from the back.

"Katfish" Karter started last in the Open feature and raced his way all the way to the front to pick up the win.

Kylea did the same thing in Box, starting at the rear and working her way through the field for a victory of her own.

One night later, the group moved on to Ohsweken Speedway for the Northern Kart Nationals.

Different track. Same result.

Karter won the Open feature again, while Kylea lived up to her "Speedy" nickname as she made it two straight nights in victory lane with another Box Stock win.

Four races between the two of them. Four wins.

Kyle and the kids stayed in Canada for the Northern Sprint Car Nationals weekend, where Karter also competed with the Action Sprint Tour, making his debut in a 602 Crate Sprint Car.

He finished second in the B Main to advance, but problems in the main event ended his night early and left him credited with a 30th-place finish after an impressive adaptation to the car.

"That car was amazing to drive," Karter said after the race. "I really had a blast racing it. I can't thank Two Speed Motorsports enough for the opportunity to race for them. Overall, this was a really good week for Kylea and me. We both won Tuesday from the back at Little Middleton. Then we both won on Wednesday again at Oshweken. It's a lot of fun going to new places and racing against different people. Thank you to everyone who supports us in any way. It means a lot to me and I know it does to Kylea, too."

While part of the KBR/SKE operation was racing in Canada, Adam Welch and the rest of the "family" were back home overseeing the group competing at Millbridge Speedway.

Tuesday night, Trace Latour finished 11th in the Beginner Box Stock feature.

New England racer Jace Pastore also recorded an 11th-place finish in the Jr. Wing main event.

The Millbridge schedule continued Wednesday.

Latour improved to eighth in the Jr. Sprint feature, while Emily Dietrich turned in the strongest finish of the night for the group with a fourth-place result in Restricted Micro.

Cole Robie finished 12th in Winged Micro, with Pastore coming home 15th.

Saturday brought another full night of racing for the KBR/SKE group.

Latour continued to move forward over the course of the week and finished sixth in Beginner Box Stock.

Rylan Hall finished 12th in Box Stock, while Cole Sculthorpe added another podium to his late-season run with a second-place finish in the Intermediate feature.

In Winged Micro, "Handsome" Harry Stallard finished 10th, and Pastore crossed the line 11th.

It made for another busy week for KBR/SKE, with four wins in Canada, a sprint car appearance for Karter and three nights of racing back home at Millbridge.

The KBR/SKE family of racers will be back in action at Millbridge Speedway this Saturday, September 26, and then next week on Tuesday, Sept. 29, Wednesday, Sept. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 3.

On-track action begins at 6:15 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday and Wednesday and 5:30 p.m. on both Saturdays. Stop out and enjoy some exciting racing, or watch live on DirtVision!

Karter Beattie Wins Twice As KBR/SKE Continue To Show Strength Around The Nation - Kylea, Cole Sculthorpe Also Victorious

CONCORD, N.C. -- Photo courtesy of Eight1 Racewear -- Winning races is nothing new for Karter Beattie, but there is more to watch these days than simply how many trophies the 15-year-old brings home.

Beattie put together another strong week behind the wheel, winning the 250cc National feature at Thunder Hill Speedway in Wisconsin before returning home and scoring an Open Outlaw victory during NC Kart Week at Millbridge Speedway.

It was another successful week for Karter, but also another glimpse at how much he continues to develop as a racer.

The speed has never really been the question. Karter recently became the first driver to reach 50 career victories at Millbridge.

But he has been winning races in Outlaw Karts and other equipment for years, traveling across the nation to compete against the best of the best in national events, and learning how to lose as gracefully as you win.

All of that is part of growing up in racing, and Karter has shown increasing signs this season that he is doing just that.

Last weekend offered another example.

The KBR/SKE team traveled to Thunder Hill Speedway, located in Menomonie, Wisconsin, and Karter came away with the 250cc National feature victory. He has had tremendous success over the years running in the Midwest, and it continues.

Kylea "Speedy" Beattie gave the family another reason to celebrate when she won the AJC International Clone feature, sending the Beatties home from Wisconsin with two major victories. Kylea has also shown tremendous improvement throughout this season, and her own increasing off-track maturity and growth is a joy to watch.

Then it was back to Millbridge for NC Kart Week.

Kylea opened the week Tuesday with a strong second-place finish in the Jr. Wing feature.

Karter finished fourth in the Open Outlaw main event, one spot ahead of SKE racer Payton Johnson in fifth. Trace Latour finished 11th in the Beginner Box Stock feature.

On Wednesday, "Katfish" did himself three spots better.

He won the Open Outlaw feature, giving him his second victory in less than a week and continuing a late summer stretch that has seen him find his way back to victory lane on a much more regular basis.

But, success in racing isn't always about results. You can't always control the conditions that create those. One night you finish fourth. You work on what needs to be worked on, then come back the next night and try again.

At 15, Karter, like countless other young racers, is still learning. But the racer we are seeing now is becoming more experienced at dealing with the good nights, the bad ones, and everything in between.

Wednesday was a very good night for more than just Karter.

Ten-year-old Cole Sculthorpe continued what has become an impressive late summer run by winning the SKE Intermediate feature again.

The Cambridge, England-born racer has become a regular visitor to the front of the field over the past several weeks, with multiple victories and podium finishes at Millbridge.

Kylea finished fourth in the Intermediate main event.

Trace Latour also turned in an outstanding run Wednesday, racing to a second-place finish in the Jr. Sprint feature.

New England racer Cole Robie joined the KBR/SKE group for NC Kart Week and finished ninth in the Winged Micro main event.

It made for a strong week all the way around.

Karter won in Wisconsin and North Carolina. Kylea also won at Thunder Hill and finished second at Millbridge. Sculthorpe went back to victory lane again, while Latour added a runner-up finish of his own.

There are still going to be bad nights. There are still going to be races that get away. That is part of the education for any young driver who hopes to keep moving forward.

Karter, Kylea, and the entire KBR/SKE family of racers are learning those lessons together, while still having quite a bit of success along the way. Kyle, Adam and everyone who comprises the team around the family of drivers work long hours in the shop, and the reward for that is the success that all of our racers have.

Millbridge Speedway is back in action Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday, Sept. 15, 16, and 19.

Come out and enjoy some of the most exciting racing action found anywhere in the Carolinas; stop by the KBR/SKE pit and ask how you or your young racer can rent an Outlaw Kart or Micro Sprint, and pick up some KBR merchandise.

DirtVision goes live when on-track action begins, at 6:15 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday and Wednesday and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Johnson, Sculthorpe Score Millbridge Wins to Lead Strong KBR/SKE Late August Stretch

SALISBURY, N.C. - Photo by KaraC Photography - Payton Johnson and Cole Sculthorpe put Kyle Beattie Racing and SKE Chassis in victory lane during a busy three-race stretch at Millbridge Speedway to end August. At the same time, several other members of the KBR/SKE racing family turned in some of their strongest performances of the season.

For Sculthorpe in particular, it was quite a run.

The 10-year-old Cambridge, England-born racer followed his first career Millbridge victory with finishes of second, third and another win over the next 10 days.

The stretch began with Round 8 of the Millbridge Saturday Series on Aug. 22.

Coming just three days after his first Millbridge win, Sculthorpe nearly made it two in a row in the SKE Intermediate feature, finishing second. Emily Dietrich joined him on the podium in third, while Kylea "Speedy" Beattie finished fifth.

Trace Latour competed in two divisions, finishing eighth in the Jr. Sprint feature and ninth in Beginner Box Stock. Kegan Latour finished 15th in Beginner Box Stock.

Rylan Hall brought home a 10th-place finish in Box Stock, while "Handsome" Harry Stallard finished 13th in the Micro Sprint feature.

Four nights later, the Wednesday Series was back in action on August 26 for Round 14, and this time it was Payton Johnson's turn to put KBR/SKE in victory lane.

Johnson took the win in the Open Outlaw feature, leading a one-two finish for the KBR/SKE group as Coen McDaniel came home second.

"Katfish" Karter Beattie finished eighth in the Open feature and 10th in Winged Micro competition.

Sculthorpe's strong run continued in the SKE Intermediate division with a third-place finish. Dietrich crossed the line fifth, and Kylea Beattie finished sixth.

Dietrich also added a podium finish in Restricted Micro, coming home third.

Then came Saturday Series Round 9 on Aug. 29, and Sculthorpe was right back where he had been 10 days earlier.

Victory lane.

Sculthorpe picked up his second Millbridge win in the SKE Intermediate feature, capping a stretch that included two victories, a second and a third.

Kylea Beattie turned in one of her finest races of the season in the same feature, racing her way to a third-place finish. Dietrich was right behind her in fourth.

Trace Latour also had a big night, finishing second in the Jr. Sprint feature.

Kruz Horseman put together one of his strongest runs of the year in Beginner Box Stock, bringing home a fourth-place finish. Trace Latour finished 13th, and Kegan Latour was 15th.

Dietrich added another third-place finish in Restricted Micro, giving her two podiums over the three-race stretch.

"Handsome" Harry Stallard finished eighth in the Micro Sprint feature, Rylan Hall was 12th in Box Stock, and Aspen Kendall finished 11th in the Cadet division.

Three race nights produced two trips to victory lane, a collection of podium finishes, and another strong stretch for the KBR/SKE family at Millbridge.

The KBR and SKE racing family will be back in action at Millbridge Speedway for NC Race Week on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 8th and 9th, with on-track action beginning at 6:15 PM Eastern.

Come out, say hello, and grab some exclusive KBR merchandise while you are there. If you cannot make it to the track, you can watch all the action live on DirtVision.

Karter Scores 50th Career Millbridge Speedway Victory, Sculthorpe Wins One For the UK!

SALISBURY, N.C. Karter “Katfish” Beattie had been waiting all season for his first Millbridge Speedway victory of 2026.

When it finally came Wednesday night, he made it count.

The 15-year-old racer won the Open feature in a battle with KBR customer Payton Johnson, earning his 50th career victory at Millbridge Speedway and becoming the first driver to reach that milestone.

It was a big one.

Karter had to earn it, too, with Johnson leading and in the fight before the Katfish ultimately cooked up the winning combination and took the checkered flag.

Johnson finished second, and fellow SKE Kart racer Coen McDaniel added a seventh-place finish in the same feature.

Karter’s Winged Micro Sprint feature did not go nearly as well. A mechanical issue ended any hopes of another strong result, leaving him 19th in the final rundown.

There was another reason to celebrate later in the evening.

Ten-year-old British racer Cole Sculthorpe picked up his first Millbridge Speedway victory in the SKE Intermediate feature.

Sculthorpe, an SKE Chassis customer, ran a fantastic race on his way to the checkered flag and a memorable first victory at the track.

Fellow KBR/SKE customer Emily Dietrich joined him on the podium with a third-place finish.

Kylea “Speedy” Beattie started third and ran into some trouble early in the feature, but she worked her way back through the field and recovered to finish fifth at the stripe.

Between Karter reaching a historic Millbridge milestone and Sculthorpe earning his first win at the track, it was a pretty special Wednesday night for the KBR and SKE family.

Now it is time to do it again.

The Saturday contingent of KBR and SKE racers will be back in action at Millbridge Speedway Saturday night, with on-track action beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Come out, say hello, and grab some exclusive KBR merchandise while you are there. If you cannot make it to the track, you can watch all the action live on DirtVision.
