🚓🚒 BATTLE OF THE BADGES 🚒🚓

What started as a wild idea has turned into one of the most entertaining parts of the season at Kart Kanyon Speedway!

Representing their agencies on the track are drivers from:
👮 Bloomfield Police Department
👮 Aztec Police Department
👮 Farmington Police Department
👮 New Mexico State Police
🚒 San Juan County Fire Department

Most of these competitors started the season as complete rookies behind the wheel of a kart. Since then, we’ve watched them learn, improve, and become surprisingly competitive racers. It’s been a blast to watch their progress!

So far, Bloomfield Police has collected the most Main Event victories, with Aztec Police close behind and Farmington Police continuing to gain ground.

The rivalry heated up during the Ryan Bard Memorial when Aztec appeared to have the race under control—until Farmington attempted what can only be described as a “pit maneuver.” Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out as planned! The excitement opened the door for Bloomfield to take the win, followed by Aztec, San Juan County Fire, and Farmington.

State Police and San Juan County Fire have missed a few events due to scheduling, but when they’re here, they’re competitive and always bring plenty of excitement to the track.

With more races still to come, the question is:

🏁 Who will claim the next Battle of the Badges victory?

Come out and cheer on your favorite department. These races are always competitive, always entertaining, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

Today, the racing world lost one of its biggest stars. 🏁💔

Kyle Busch wasn’t just a NASCAR champion — he was a true racer. From the biggest stages in motorsports all the way down to grassroots racing, Kyle always showed genuine support for the sport at every level. His involvement in micro sprint racing and events like the Tulsa Shootout helped shine a spotlight on the next generation of racers, including many from right here in our region who had the opportunity to race alongside him over the years.

No matter the division, Kyle brought intensity, passion, and personality every time he hit the track. He inspired countless drivers, kids, and race fans across the country to chase their dreams and race harder every lap.

From all of us at Kart Kanyon Speedway, we send our thoughts and prayers to Samantha, Brexton, Lennix, the Busch family, Rowdy Nation, and everyone impacted by this heartbreaking loss.

Thank you for everything you gave to the sport, Kyle. Your legacy will continue to live on in every young racer chasing a checkered flag. 🏁
