MotoAmerica Returns To Road America For Three-Day, High-Speed Weekend

Road America’s long, power-focused 4.048-mile layout pushes bikes toward nearly 200 mph and will shape race tactics and championship momentum.

Overview

  • MotoAmerica launched a three-day Road America round in Elkhart Lake that began Friday and will run a packed schedule across five classes with roughly 10 races.
  • The track’s long straights and heavy braking mean Superbikes and other classes are expected to reach about 190–200 mph, making top-end power and drafting critical to results.
  • Strack Racing Yamaha’s Mathew Scholtz enters the weekend as the Quad Lock Superbike points leader and must rely on perfect corner exits and drafting to offset rivals with greater straight-line speed.
  • MotoAmerica named four-time AMA champion Josh Hayes as Grand Marshal as the series promotes Road America after record attendance last year and strong local fan interest.
  • The weekend also spotlights development and local storylines, including 15-year-old Twins Cup rider Hank Vossberg racing near his De Pere, Wisconsin home and the Royal Enfield BTR program showcasing grassroots competitors.
