Hi, I’m Gunnar Jenkins, a 13-year-old kart racer based in Southern California. Racing has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent the last few seasons battling at the front of the pack, consistently finishing in the top tier of regional standings against the best junior drivers in the Southwest. My dream is to reach that P1 spot and make my supporters proud.

This past year, however, brought some unexpected hurdles for my family. We experienced a significant loss and faced health challenges that have made it much harder to keep up with the costs of racing. Despite these setbacks, I’ve stayed focused—maintaining my 4.0 GPA at school and training harder than ever to reach the top of the podium. Racing isn’t just a sport for me; it’s a way to learn, grow, and connect with an amazing community.

The funds raised will go directly toward entry fees, fuel, tires, and parts—everything I need to keep competing at a high level. Any contribution, big or small, helps me get back on the track and closer to that #1 trophy. Thank you for being part of my journey and for supporting young racers like me!
