Rhythm & Race Round 5 Night Race Preview: July 25

Music City Kartplex under afternoon light

The 2026 Rhythm & Race Championship Series has completed Rounds 1 through 4 (March 28, April 18, May 16, and June 13). Round 5 arrives July 25 as the only night race on the season schedule.

All 19 classes remain on the program: Kid Kart through Shifter, plus the Rental class for drivers racing MCK's CRG karts without owning equipment. Points, the two-drop rule, and NKA sanctioning stay the same. Only the lighting changes.

What Spectators Should Know

Gates and warm-ups shift later for the night format. Exact session times post on the race-day schedule board closer to the round. A spectator day pass covers general admission; kids 5 and under get in free with a paying adult.

If you have never watched a championship round, the spectator page covers the race-day flow, class beginner guide, and FAQ without needing a timing screen.

Looking Past Round 5

Round 6 returns to a daytime format on August 8. The full 10-round calendar, race-day run of show, and series registration live under the Rhythm & Race hub.

Full session results from past rounds stay on the live-timing archive for teams that need them. This preview does not restate finishing orders.
