Driver Spotlight: Jude Hendrickson
We want to recognize one of our young drivers who has made major progress in a very short amount of time. Jude Hendrickson is currently in his first full year of racing, competing in Micro Swift and Rotax Mini. After beginning his racing career last year in LO206 and immediately showing good pace, Jude made the move to Hi5 Performance Texas and stepped into two-stroke racing.
Building Through TKL
Since making that transition, his development has been impressive. Jude has spent this season competing in TKL, where he has consistently worked his way into competitive fields with finishes of P8, P7, P9, and P8. Each weekend has been another opportunity to build speed, confidence, racecraft, and experience.
First TSRS Start at KartMoto
At KartMoto, Jude took the next step and entered his first-ever TSRS event in Micro Swift. Despite being his first race at that level, he looked like he belonged from the start. After getting caught up in contact during qualifying and starting P8, Jude drove forward in every heat race and worked his way as high as P4. In the main event, he put together his best drive of the weekend and crossed the finish line in P3. A post-race penalty from a racing incident moved him to P5 in the official results, but the performance showed exactly how far he has come.
First TSRS race. First full year of racing. Running at the front.
Just the Beginning
Jude continues to improve every time he gets in the kart. His speed is growing, his racecraft is developing, and most importantly, he is learning how to compete in tougher and tougher fields. We are excited to keep working with Jude and see how far he can take it. The results are starting to show, but this is still just the beginning.
