Rhythm & Race Mid-Season: Four Rounds In The Books

Rhythm and Race championship racing at Music City Kartplex

The 2026 Rhythm & Race Championship Series has completed its first four rounds: March 28, April 18, May 16, and June 13. All 19 classes remain on the program, NKA Sporting Regulations still govern the weekend, and the two-drop rule still shapes how a season total is built.

This mid-season note does not restate finishing orders. Full session archives stay on the timing results board for teams that need lap-by-lap detail. What matters for anyone watching from the fence or joining late is simple: half the calendar is still ahead.

What Changes In The Second Half

Round 5 on July 25 is the only night race of the season. Gates and warm-ups shift later; the points structure does not. Round 6 returns to a daytime format on August 8, then the calendar runs through the double-header weekend and the season finale.

Owner-class entries and the Rental Karts class both stay open. Annual membership is still required to score championship points. Late joiners can still make a season of it because two rounds drop from every driver's total.

How To Plug In

Spectators can grab a day pass on the watch page. Drivers register through the series hub. Anyone still learning the track should book Arrive & Drive or a league night before a full championship Saturday.

The race-day schedule page covers the run of show by class once each round's board is posted.
