Luke Knupp Racing and driver, Luke Knupp had a great 2016 season in the Lucas Oil Arizona Regional Series and finally, after 3 seasons of trying, was able to win the 2016 JR1 points championship!

Luke Knupp in 1st place
Luke started the season out a little rough with a clutch failure in Round 1 resulting in a last place finish, but after that Luke was on fire in the 10 race season winning 7 of the next 9 events and was 2nd in the other two bringing home the championship by 33 points in the 24 driver field.
With winning the AZ Lucas Regional Championship, Luke became the first JR1 competitor to win both the AZ and SoCal Regional Championship in the same season! In 3 seasons of racing, Luke competed in 3 series and won 4 out of 7 series championships, competed in 70 events in which he had 57 podiums, and 34 of them were wins.

To finish off the racing season and his JR1 career, Luke raced the Lucas Regional Shootout which he has won the previous 2 seasons, and after starting 7th in the 16 kart field he was able to slowly work his way to the front and take the lead with 2 laps to go to become the 2016 Lucas Oil Regional Shootout Champion! What an accomplishment and great way to end his great JR1 race career!
