Karter Scores 50th Career Millbridge Speedway Victory, Sculthorpe Wins One For the UK!

SALISBURY, N.C. Karter “Katfish” Beattie had been waiting all season for his first Millbridge Speedway victory of 2026.

When it finally came Wednesday night, he made it count.

The 15-year-old racer won the Open feature in a battle with KBR customer Payton Johnson, earning his 50th career victory at Millbridge Speedway and becoming the first driver to reach that milestone.

It was a big one.

Karter had to earn it, too, with Johnson leading and in the fight before the Katfish ultimately cooked up the winning combination and took the checkered flag.

Johnson finished second, and fellow SKE Kart racer Coen McDaniel added a seventh-place finish in the same feature.

Karter’s Winged Micro Sprint feature did not go nearly as well. A mechanical issue ended any hopes of another strong result, leaving him 19th in the final rundown.

There was another reason to celebrate later in the evening.

Ten-year-old British racer Cole Sculthorpe picked up his first Millbridge Speedway victory in the SKE Intermediate feature.

Sculthorpe, an SKE Chassis customer, ran a fantastic race on his way to the checkered flag and a memorable first victory at the track.

Fellow KBR/SKE customer Emily Dietrich joined him on the podium with a third-place finish.

Kylea “Speedy” Beattie started third and ran into some trouble early in the feature, but she worked her way back through the field and recovered to finish fifth at the stripe.

Between Karter reaching a historic Millbridge milestone and Sculthorpe earning his first win at the track, it was a pretty special Wednesday night for the KBR and SKE family.

Now it is time to do it again.

The Saturday contingent of KBR and SKE racers will be back in action at Millbridge Speedway Saturday night, with on-track action beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Come out, say hello, and grab some exclusive KBR merchandise while you are there. If you cannot make it to the track, you can watch all the action live on DirtVision.

The culprit…

We’re back in business thanks to Adams Performance for getting our engine ready for tonight Cole is excited to get back in the seat again but first he got to dust is down we like shiny things 😂😎

Last night just wasn’t our night.

Ended up finishing 4th all night long. Not the result we were hoping for, but that’s racing. Sometimes you learn more on the tough nights than the winning ones.

On to the next race! 🏁💪

We are still in shock.

Gone but never forgotten.
Take one final bow, Rowdy.
RIP KB 🏁
