Tanner Emmons earned the right to wear the King's crown and winner's wreath after claiming the King of the Kartway title at Oswego Kartway on Friday.
OSWEGO, NY – Oswego Kartway’s annual King of the Kartway special took to the Bullring last Friday with young Tanner Emmons once again driving to victory in the Jr. Purple Clone division.

With 12 total entries in the Kartway’s middleweight youth class, Emmons stormed to the 20-lap main event victory to earn the right to wear the King’s crown over Jake Holmes, Madison Baum, Sadie Blowers, and Logan Crisafulli.
The victory was Emmons’ fourth of the season as he continues to lead the driver’s championship in the Purple Clone class.
Other youth King of the Kartway winners on Friday included Jason Parkhurst (Jr. Green Clone), Tavien Blowers (Sr. Green Clone), Carl Emmons III (Jr. Blue Clone), and Tyler Thompson (Sr. Blue Clone).
