The 2018 SKUSA Supernationals was the 22nd edition of the SKUSA Supernationals, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, held from November 14–18, 2018. The IndyCar World Tour tournament was held November 12–18, 2018.

The event was held on the same weekend as the finale of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series at Homestead; where almost the exact same four from 2017 (expect Brad Keselowski being replaced by his teammate Joey Logano). Also, the NASCAR Xfinity Series race their finale Saturday, while the NASCAR Truck Series race their finale Friday.

Marco Andretti was the reigning champion, but chose to participate at the 2018 Baja 1000 instead, losing in the semifinals to Alexander Rossi.

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing's Jirayu La-ongmanee won the title, defeating Scott Dixon by only +0.08 of a second in a final. This was Scott Dixon's first major tournament final since Funny Gals vs. Funny Guys and Louie Anderson vs. Christina Milian (August 20).

Due to Abomasnow on ตกสิบติดสปีด, the IndyCar Series split the tournament up, with Team Unseeded going to the 2018 Baja 1000, while Team Seeded chose to stay in Las Vegas. However, the draws for both the SKUSA Supernationals and Baja 1000 were postponed due to Abomasnow's comeback win.

Withdrawals

All team Unseeded players withdrew from the SKUSA Supernationals to compete in the Baja 1000 tournament.

Seeds

The seeds were announced at the premiere of Born Racer, on October 2, 2018. The movie concentrates on the IndyCar racing life of Ukrainian Scott Dixon.

As the SKUSA Supernationals schedule starts on Sunday, it was announced that neither Georgia (Adam Rippon) nor Moldova (Jordan Fisher) will qualify for the seedings, due to Dancing with the Stars: Juniors that Sunday.

As with the seedings from Vanilla Ice vs. Kim Fields and Ice-T and Coco Austin vs. Vivica A. Fox, the top ten were the same, expect Simon Pagenaud lost two spots to Beartic and Ryan Hunter-Reay, and Scott Dixon and Volcarona swapped their top three seeding.

Due to the release of Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, more Pokémon seeds that failed to qualify for the 2018 BATC Champions League were announced.

Due to Abomasnow on ตกสิบติดสปีด, Dragalge chose to put the first eight seeds in their section and shuffle the second half, and Machamp and Rashad Jennings were replaced by 2018 Petit Le Mans winner Magmortar and Marko Manieri. Ironically, Abomasnow's group made a comeback and led 3–2 despite being 2–0 down to Flygon's group.
