Young racers from 17 states and four countries will converge on Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, this weekend for the second annual MotoAmerica Mission Mini Cup National Final featuring three days of heated action, with the majority of the racers having qualified via more than 20 regional events.
Like last year’s inaugural Mission Mini Cup National Final, racing action will take place on two different track layouts of the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex located near turns nine and 10 of the immaculate four-mile Road America circuit.
Racers will do battle in six classes – Stock 50 (ages 6-8), Stock 110 (ages 8-12), GP 110 (ages 8-12), GP 160 (ages 9-14), GP 190 (ages 11-14) and Street GP (ages 14 and up).
The battles for championships will consist of four races per class over the course of the weekend with two races on Saturday and two on Sunday. Each race will pay points, and the rider with the highest number of points in each class will be awarded the number-one plates. Six AMA National Champions will be crowned at the completion of Sunday’s races.
With practice set for Friday, qualifying sessions will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday with an action-packed day of racing set to begin at 12:45 p.m. with the first GP 190 race. A full day of racing will conclude with Race 2 of the GP 110 class at 4:40 p.m. Sunday’s schedule will be identical to Saturday’s, with racing again getting underway at 12:45 p.m. (all times are Central).
In addition to the AMA awarding its coveted number-one plates to class champions, Mission Mini Cup National Final sponsors have stepped up to present the winning racers with a plethora of championship awards. For the GP 110, GP 160 and GP 190 Class Champions, Dunlop will present its Championship Guitars, like those given to MotoAmerica Champions. Additionally, the podium finishers in the Stock 50, Stock 110, GP 110, GP 160 and GP 190 classes will be up for consideration for the Team Dunlop Road Racing Elite program for 2026.
In the other classes, champions will receive Thom Duma Fine Jewelers Championship pendants, Arai helmets, and Motion Pro gift packs.
“We’re really happy with how far our Mission Mini Cup National Final has come in just its second year,” said MotoAmerica’s COO Chuck Aksland. “We have tripled our entries with racers coming to Road America from all over the country, and there are also some international racers. The Finals are really developing into a great annual event with young racers and their families making the commitment to race against the very best. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and we’re looking forward to a great weekend of racing at one of our favorite places.”
MotoAmerica has also announced that the event will be featured on MotoAmerica Live+ with live streaming and video on-demand of Saturday and Sunday’s race action with commentary from the MotoAmerica Live+ commentary team of Roger Hayden and Jamie Howe.
