The 2026 King of The Prairie Champion is Olivia Vanloo, from Ham's Prairie MO!
Olivia won the Danuser Machince Company heat race, and finished 5th in the C&R Exterior dash for cash, which would put her starting 5th in the 50 lap main event!
On the start contact with another kart had here drop to last, at one point in the race she was close to being lapped by race leader Ajay Roberts.
But by the half mark Olivia had clawed her way to the top 3, as Tanner Larouere and Paul Rainey are battling it out Olivia gets a good run out of turn 2 to pass them both and take the lead down the back straightaway!
Rainey and Larouere tried serval times to Rattle her cage, but she was not going to be denied, on the white flag lap with the fans on there feet watching history unfold at HPIS, Larouere tries one more time to get to Vanloos inside but he loses front grip and this was enough for Vanloo to pull away to take the checkered flag!
By Vanloo winning this race she has once again changed an event title to Queen, back in 2023 she won the 2nd Annual Jr King and changed title name to Jr Queen, and at only 14 years of age Olivia has joined an Elite group of former winners Mikey Halliburton 3x Champion, Lucas Fischer 2x Champion, and Cameron Sorrels.
Congratulations to The Queen of HPIS
Olivia Vanloo!
