The goal of Brit Phillips when he first started BP Motorsports Group, which is the promoter of "The Mazda Heartland Sprint Series" presented by Russell Karting Specialties, was to grow the sport of karting here in the Heartland and attract more drivers from surrounding states.  In just four short years BP Motorsports Group has gone from a small operation to one with both regional and now National focus.  This year BP Motorsports Group has secured sponsorship from national companies such as automotive manufacturer MAZDA, and Karting giant Russell Karting Specialties as well as contingency sponsorship programs from tire manufactures like Maxxis, Dunlop and Bridgestone.  Local companies such as Bike Stop in Blue Springs have also joined in to help the younger kids get excited about the sport of karting.   

Perhaps the biggest thing to happen to BP Motorsports Group this year is their partnership with the IZOD IndyCar Series!  BP Motorsports Group was selected as the first regional karting partner for the IZOD IndyCar Series to help promote the first ever Scouting Combine as part of The Mazda Road to Indy.  This program helps kart racers get their shot at making their way up the racing ladder to get to the IZOD IndyCar Series.  BP Motorsports Group will send their champion in the Tag Senior Class to Anderson Raceway Park in Palmetto, Florida this Fall to compete against eleven other drivers from across the country in a "Top Gun" style shoot out to see who's got what it takes to make the next step.  The winner will get the chance to race a USF2000 car at St. Petersburg in early 2012.
