Colton Herta prepares for Rok Cup world championship in Italy

Valencia's Bryan Herta started his racing career at a little go-kart track in Riverside called Adams Motorsports Park. It is where he and Richie Hearn, an open-wheel racing veteran who competed in the Champ Car and IndyCar Series, raced when they were kids.
Herta, an accomplished open-wheel racer and winner of two IndyCar Series and two CART races, is making his son take the same steps. Colton Herta, a fifth-grader at Oaks Hill Elementary School, will be racing in the Pro Kart South season opener at Adams Motorsports Park on Saturday.
The 10-year-old Colton Herta has bigger plans than the Pro Kart South, though. He won a SuperKarts USA pro tour national championship last year. Included in winning the championship was a scholarship to race for the Rok Cup world championship in Italy in October.
