Utah Sport Bike Association Announces the return of The Superbike Challenge at Utah Motorsports Campus

Tooele, Utah — The Utah Sport Bike Association (UtahSBA) is pleased to announce the return of The Superbike Challenge, a pro-am Superbike race that will be a support event to Round 4 of the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship at Utah Motorsports Campus (UMC) over the weekend of June 23-25. This will be the fifth iteration of The Superbike Challenge at UMC.

“We are carrying on a tradition that Larry Miller started with World Superbike in 2009,” said UtahSBA President Scott Rybarik, “and we’re thrilled that MotoAmerica has invited us back!”

The Superbike Challenge is designed to attract riders from clubs around the nation. Only competitors in the top five positions of any MotoAmerica championship at the beginning of MotoAmerica Round 4 are excluded from competing in The Superbike Challenge. With a reasonably open rule set and the momentum of a successful event last year, the UtahSBA expects this to be a popular event.

“We are very pleased that the Utah Sport Bike Association is bringing back The Superbike Challenge to our MotoAmerica Championship of Utah weekend,” said Willem Geyer, General Manager of Utah Motorsports Campus. “The UtahSBA is an outstanding group, and last year’s Superbike Challenge added a lot to our event. They were extremely professional, and the racing was great. We’re looking forward to more of the same this year.”

“We formed a successful partnership in 2016 with the Utah Sportbike Association as a support race for our event. The event was so successful that we have expanded the program in 2017 to include more organizations,” said Niccole Cox, MotoAmerica Race Operations Manager. “We are thrilled to partner with the USBA again in 2017 for the MotoAmerica Championship of Utah, to showcase the local up-and-coming talent, and further define the route from amateur to professional racing.”

The Utah Sport Bike Association is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization that uses 100 percent of its revenue to support rider education, safety and racing throughout the Intermountain West. With a history that goes back more than 30 years, UtahSBA has fostered the growth of some of the nation’s most influential racers, instructors, authors and motorcycling advocates.

The six-race 2017 Law Tigers Masters of the Mountains racing series is operated and sanctioned by UtahSBA exclusively at Utah Motorsports Campus (formerly Miller Motorsports Park). The series was created to encourage competitive road racing at the club, regional and national levels. In its eleventh year, the series has quickly turned into a premier championship, drawing top-level talent from around the nation.
