Vemme Kart USA Masters Rok Sunday Report Derek Wang’s dominant weekend performance earned him his first Challenge of the Americas Master Rok championship. Wang came into the finale in a tight battle with Billy Cleavelin for the crown, having not yet scored a win in the opening four races. The FA Kart driver ended that drought on Saturday, scoring the victory, and he then backed it up on Sunday with a sweep of the sessions, including the fast lap bonus in the final. All told, Wang out-scored Cleavelin 235- 196 in Sonoma to score the championship by a slim 20-point margin, earning the ticket to race in Italy. In the Vemme Kart Masters Rok final on Sunday, Wang quickly jetted out to the lead and was never challenged, winning by 7.209 seconds, while also turning the fast lap of the race. Cleavelin put up a good fight, finishing second in the finale, and he was joined on the podium by Rob Kozakowski. David Pergande (Vemme) and John Breidinger were just a second behind Kozakowski to complete the top-five. ROB KOZAKOWSKI BILLY CLEAVELIN
