DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.

“Sturgis, motorcycles and short-track racing. That’s a pretty good combination as far as I’m concerned,” Wallace said. “I’m looking forward to getting out to Sturgis, seeing the great fans and watching the riders go for it!”

Five MotoAmerica Feature Classes Return To Mid-Ohio For Championship Push.
Supersport, Mission King Of The Baggers, Twins Cup, Mission Super Hooligan National Championship, And Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. Set For Action In Lexington.
IRVINE, CA – Five of MotoAmerica’s exciting feature classes return to action this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where the championship battles continue to tighten. From middleweight missiles to heavyweight baggers, production-based twins and high-horsepower hooligan machines, every point earned in Ohio could prove pivotal before each class reaches their respective home-stretch run.
The legendary 2.4-mile, 15-turn Mid-Ohio circuit has challenged North America’s best motorcycle racers for decades. Its flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes and technical braking zones reward riders who can maintain momentum while capitalizing on every passing opportunity, making it one of the most demanding venues on the MotoAmerica calendar.
The MotoAmerica Supersport class arrives in Ohio with championship momentum beginning to shift after another thrilling West Coast swing. Every race has become increasingly important as the title contenders look to separate themselves before the final four rounds of the season.
Championship leader Darryn Binder continues to set the standard aboard the Celtic/Economy Lube + Tire/Warhorse Ducati Panigale V2 after his first up-and-down weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Rahal Ducati Moto with Desnuda Organic Tequila’s Josh Herrin took advantage of Binder’s miscalculations in California and is now just nine points behind the series leader with four rounds remaining.
Herrin’s teammate Kayla Yaakov sits third in points aboard the Rahal Ducati Moto with Droplight Ducati Panigale V2, 81 marks behind the leader. The 19-year-old female flyer had a scary moment at the previous round that injured her clutch hand but she has confirmed that she will line up in Ohio for Round 7.
MotoAmerica Supersport Championship Top 3:
The Mission King Of The Baggers championship returns to Mid-Ohio, bringing absolute American Thunder straight into the heart of Thunder Valley. Watch factory Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle heavyweights clash in an epic American V-twin showdown. Massive torque, brutal braking zones, and Mid-Ohio’s technical rhythm make this the most entertaining weekend on the MotoAmerica schedule.
Hayden Gillim maintains his championship lead aboard the J&P Cycles/Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian Challenger. His streak of five consecutive podiums ended with a tough round at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, but he still holds the top spot. Teammate Troy Herfoss remains hot on his heels in second for the factory Indian squad. Meanwhile, Bradley Smith is third and continues to charge forward for the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing team.
With 150 points still left on the table for the year (including the upcoming races at Mid-Ohio), the championship is wide open. Riders like Smith’s surging factory H-D teammate Kyle Wyman can find their way back from a 43-point deficit in fourth if the leaders aren’t on their game.
One thing is certain, the championship fight will be heating up at each round, starting this weekend at the technical Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Mission King Of The Baggers Championship Top 3:
The Twins Cup championship returns following a brief summer break for another double-piston showdown. The lightweight, production-based sportbikes have already delivered some of the closest racing of the season, and Mid-Ohio’s technical layout should place an even greater premium on precision and corner speed.
Robem Engineering’s Hank Vossberg has established himself as the rider to beat aboard his Aprilia RS 660, but the championship remains far from settled. The Wisconsin native leads the championship by 62 points over M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin and has a 70-point advantage over Chapin’s teammate Bodie Paige in third. The two Suzuki GSX-8R riders are looking to claw points back towards the top and prolong the title fight to the closing rounds of the season.
Time is running out to catch the leader. Including the upcoming Mid-Ohio round, the Twins Cup championship has just three stops left on the calendar. With 150 maximum points on the table, the window is closing fast for anyone hoping to derail Vossberg’s breakaway at the front.
MotoAmerica Twins Cup Championship Top 3:
The Mission Super Hooligan National Championship returns to Ohio with a razor-thin points gap separating the top three riders. Fueled by raw horsepower and pure determination, this class has earned its reputation as the most unpredictable in the paddock. Mid-Ohio marks the critical penultimate stop of the 2026 season. With the title fight almost certain to go down to the wire, every single point at Round 5 is crucial.
Andy DiBrino leads the Super Hooligan charge on his BPR Racing Yamaha MT-09 SP, holding a slim five-point advantage over teammate and team owner Bryce Kornbau. Former leader Gus Rodio remains a dangerous threat in third, sitting just six points out of first on his Rodio Racing Ducati Streetfighter V2. As the final two rounds loom, the surging BPR Racing Yamaha duo looks to maintain their recent edge over the Ducati contender.
Saddlemen Race Development’s James Rispoli is firmly in the mix, entering the Ohio round just 19 points adrift of leader DiBrino. Completing the top five in the standings is Corey Alexander, trailing the leader by 37 points aboard the ARCH Motorcycle Racing’s bespoke 2s-R machine.
Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Top 3:
One championship will be decided before the haulers leave Ohio.
The Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. program reaches its 2026 season finale at in the Buckeye State, where one rider will be crowned national champion after a season of developing racecraft, mechanical knowledge and confidence aboard identical Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 motorcycles.
New Mexico native Jasmine Noelle holds a commanding 27-point lead over Brazil’s Tati Paze while Columbia, South Carolina’s Bryanna Everitt hangs on to the fight, 40 points back.
The math is heavily stacked against Paze and Everitt. To steal the title, they must stop a dominant Jasmine Noelle, who hasn’t missed a single podium ceremony all year. With the championship on the line, Noelle controls her own destiny—crossing the finish line in both weekend feature races is all it takes to lock down the 2026 Build.Train.Race. title.
Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. Championship Top 3:
Mid-Season Push Begins At Mid-Ohio: Top Three Quad Lock Superbike Contenders Start Second Half Separated By Just 14 Points.
Championship Leader Sean Dylan Kelly Faces A Fierce Charge From A Surging JD Beach And A Hungry Mathew Scholtz.
IRVINE, CA (July 28, 2026) – The MotoAmerica Quad Lock Superbike Championship moves to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, to open the second half of the season. The 2.4-mile, 15-turn road course is set to host another tight Superbike battle as the series points standings continue to be fluid at the top.
Mid-Ohio’s technical, flowing layout has a history of producing some of the closest racing on the calendar, with its mix of elevation changes and technical sections opening the door for late-braking passes and momentum-driven battles through the esses. With four stops and 10 races remaining, the margin for error is shrinking fast. Any rider hoping to be “in it” when the championship is decided will need to start closing ground now, before the points gap grows too wide to make up.
OrangeCat Racing’s Sean Dylan Kelly leads the field into the Buckeye State with 172 points after another double-podium weekend in Monterey. The 24-year-old Floridian has been the most consistent finisher through the first 10 races, missing the podium just twice and is looking to keep that momentum rolling over the hills of Mid-Ohio.
Behind Kelly’s consistency is the steady rise of JD Beach. The Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing YZF-R1 rider has climbed to second in the standings and he is no stranger to success at Mid-Ohio. From the neighboring state of Kentucky, Beach finished 2025 Superbike Race 1 in P3 while competing in Superbike Cup on Stock 1000 spec machinery. Coming into his de facto home round fresh off of a double-win weekend at Laguna Seca, Beach appears to be heating up at the right time of the season.
Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz opened his 2026 campaign in dominant form. The South African rider captured four straight podiums to start the season and led the points chase until Road America, where a P6 finish in Race 1 and a mechanical DNF in Race 2 cost him the top spot in the standings. He reclaimed the points lead at the following round in Washington state, but a challenging weekend in California has since dropped him to third, 14 points behind leader Kelly. Scholtz and Beach are tied for the most wins this season, with three each.
Outside the top three, the standings get steeper — but with 250 points still available across the remaining 10 races, nothing is settled. Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong sits fourth, 46 points off the lead. A race win is worth 25 championship points, and as this season has shown, one mistake from the leaders could pull him right back into the title fight.
Wrench Motorcycles rider Cameron Petersen trails the points lead by 56. The South African, now based in Florida, has continued to run up front aboard his 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 R, though two non-scoring finishes have kept him further back in the standings than his pace suggests. Petersen will look to continue the energy of his double-podium weekend at Laguna into the second half, starting at Mid-Ohio.
Rounding out the standings, M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Richie Escalante sits sixth, 100 points off the lead, with teammate Brandon Paasch just two points behind him. OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe holds eighth, while Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim and Rahal Ducati Moto with XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen round out the top 10.
In Superbike Cup points, Real Steel Honda’s Andrew Lee holds a commanding 75-point lead aboard his Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. The Northern California native has dominated the class all season, faltering only once with an uncharacteristic Race 1 DNF at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
The second half of the 2026 Quad Lock Superbike season is shaping up to be a fight to the finale, and fans can get close to the action at every round. Every MotoAmerica ticket doubles as a paddock pass, giving fans access to the factory and privateer rigs, the pits and the podium. Beyond the racing, the Mid-Ohio round will feature the Fan Zone, with free carnival games and activities for kids, motorsports and food vendors, and a “Wall of Death” stunt show to keep fans entertained all weekend.
Robem Engineering’s Hank Vossberg topped MotoAmerica Twins Cup practice at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Friday. M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin was second, Karns/TST Industries Racing’s Isaac Woodworth third, Hoban Brothers Racing/Darkhorse Motor Co.’s Seth Dahmer fourth and Yamaha BLU CRU Estenson Racing’s Sam Drane completed the top five.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.

An avid motorcyclist, Wallace will also host the Rusty Wallace Charity Ride presented by Harley-Davidson on Friday, August 14, in Deadwood, South Dakota. Proceeds from the ride will benefit The NASCAR Foundation and Special Olympics of South Dakota.
Wallace earned 55 NASCAR Cup Series victories, the 1984 Rookie of the Year award and the 1991 International Race of Champions title. His accomplishments have earned him induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame and several other prominent motorsports halls of fame.
“Sturgis, motorcycles and short-track racing. That’s a pretty good combination as far as I’m concerned,” Wallace said. “I’m looking forward to getting out to Sturgis, seeing the great fans and watching the riders go for it!”

Five MotoAmerica Feature Classes Return To Mid-Ohio For Championship Push.
Supersport, Mission King Of The Baggers, Twins Cup, Mission Super Hooligan National Championship, And Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. Set For Action In Lexington.
IRVINE, CA – Five of MotoAmerica’s exciting feature classes return to action this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where the championship battles continue to tighten. From middleweight missiles to heavyweight baggers, production-based twins and high-horsepower hooligan machines, every point earned in Ohio could prove pivotal before each class reaches their respective home-stretch run.
The legendary 2.4-mile, 15-turn Mid-Ohio circuit has challenged North America’s best motorcycle racers for decades. Its flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes and technical braking zones reward riders who can maintain momentum while capitalizing on every passing opportunity, making it one of the most demanding venues on the MotoAmerica calendar.
The MotoAmerica Supersport class arrives in Ohio with championship momentum beginning to shift after another thrilling West Coast swing. Every race has become increasingly important as the title contenders look to separate themselves before the final four rounds of the season.
Championship leader Darryn Binder continues to set the standard aboard the Celtic/Economy Lube + Tire/Warhorse Ducati Panigale V2 after his first up-and-down weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Rahal Ducati Moto with Desnuda Organic Tequila’s Josh Herrin took advantage of Binder’s miscalculations in California and is now just nine points behind the series leader with four rounds remaining.
Herrin’s teammate Kayla Yaakov sits third in points aboard the Rahal Ducati Moto with Droplight Ducati Panigale V2, 81 marks behind the leader. The 19-year-old female flyer had a scary moment at the previous round that injured her clutch hand but she has confirmed that she will line up in Ohio for Round 7.
MotoAmerica Supersport Championship Top 3:
The Mission King Of The Baggers championship returns to Mid-Ohio, bringing absolute American Thunder straight into the heart of Thunder Valley. Watch factory Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle heavyweights clash in an epic American V-twin showdown. Massive torque, brutal braking zones, and Mid-Ohio’s technical rhythm make this the most entertaining weekend on the MotoAmerica schedule.
Hayden Gillim maintains his championship lead aboard the J&P Cycles/Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian Challenger. His streak of five consecutive podiums ended with a tough round at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, but he still holds the top spot. Teammate Troy Herfoss remains hot on his heels in second for the factory Indian squad. Meanwhile, Bradley Smith is third and continues to charge forward for the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing team.
With 150 points still left on the table for the year (including the upcoming races at Mid-Ohio), the championship is wide open. Riders like Smith’s surging factory H-D teammate Kyle Wyman can find their way back from a 43-point deficit in fourth if the leaders aren’t on their game.
One thing is certain, the championship fight will be heating up at each round, starting this weekend at the technical Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Mission King Of The Baggers Championship Top 3:
The Twins Cup championship returns following a brief summer break for another double-piston showdown. The lightweight, production-based sportbikes have already delivered some of the closest racing of the season, and Mid-Ohio’s technical layout should place an even greater premium on precision and corner speed.
Robem Engineering’s Hank Vossberg has established himself as the rider to beat aboard his Aprilia RS 660, but the championship remains far from settled. The Wisconsin native leads the championship by 62 points over M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin and has a 70-point advantage over Chapin’s teammate Bodie Paige in third. The two Suzuki GSX-8R riders are looking to claw points back towards the top and prolong the title fight to the closing rounds of the season.
Time is running out to catch the leader. Including the upcoming Mid-Ohio round, the Twins Cup championship has just three stops left on the calendar. With 150 maximum points on the table, the window is closing fast for anyone hoping to derail Vossberg’s breakaway at the front.
MotoAmerica Twins Cup Championship Top 3:
The Mission Super Hooligan National Championship returns to Ohio with a razor-thin points gap separating the top three riders. Fueled by raw horsepower and pure determination, this class has earned its reputation as the most unpredictable in the paddock. Mid-Ohio marks the critical penultimate stop of the 2026 season. With the title fight almost certain to go down to the wire, every single point at Round 5 is crucial.
Andy DiBrino leads the Super Hooligan charge on his BPR Racing Yamaha MT-09 SP, holding a slim five-point advantage over teammate and team owner Bryce Kornbau. Former leader Gus Rodio remains a dangerous threat in third, sitting just six points out of first on his Rodio Racing Ducati Streetfighter V2. As the final two rounds loom, the surging BPR Racing Yamaha duo looks to maintain their recent edge over the Ducati contender.
Saddlemen Race Development’s James Rispoli is firmly in the mix, entering the Ohio round just 19 points adrift of leader DiBrino. Completing the top five in the standings is Corey Alexander, trailing the leader by 37 points aboard the ARCH Motorcycle Racing’s bespoke 2s-R machine.
Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Top 3:
One championship will be decided before the haulers leave Ohio.
The Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. program reaches its 2026 season finale at in the Buckeye State, where one rider will be crowned national champion after a season of developing racecraft, mechanical knowledge and confidence aboard identical Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 motorcycles.
New Mexico native Jasmine Noelle holds a commanding 27-point lead over Brazil’s Tati Paze while Columbia, South Carolina’s Bryanna Everitt hangs on to the fight, 40 points back.
The math is heavily stacked against Paze and Everitt. To steal the title, they must stop a dominant Jasmine Noelle, who hasn’t missed a single podium ceremony all year. With the championship on the line, Noelle controls her own destiny—crossing the finish line in both weekend feature races is all it takes to lock down the 2026 Build.Train.Race. title.
Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. Championship Top 3:
Mid-Season Push Begins At Mid-Ohio: Top Three Quad Lock Superbike Contenders Start Second Half Separated By Just 14 Points.
Championship Leader Sean Dylan Kelly Faces A Fierce Charge From A Surging JD Beach And A Hungry Mathew Scholtz.
IRVINE, CA (July 28, 2026) – The MotoAmerica Quad Lock Superbike Championship moves to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, to open the second half of the season. The 2.4-mile, 15-turn road course is set to host another tight Superbike battle as the series points standings continue to be fluid at the top.
Mid-Ohio’s technical, flowing layout has a history of producing some of the closest racing on the calendar, with its mix of elevation changes and technical sections opening the door for late-braking passes and momentum-driven battles through the esses. With four stops and 10 races remaining, the margin for error is shrinking fast. Any rider hoping to be “in it” when the championship is decided will need to start closing ground now, before the points gap grows too wide to make up.
OrangeCat Racing’s Sean Dylan Kelly leads the field into the Buckeye State with 172 points after another double-podium weekend in Monterey. The 24-year-old Floridian has been the most consistent finisher through the first 10 races, missing the podium just twice and is looking to keep that momentum rolling over the hills of Mid-Ohio.
Behind Kelly’s consistency is the steady rise of JD Beach. The Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing YZF-R1 rider has climbed to second in the standings and he is no stranger to success at Mid-Ohio. From the neighboring state of Kentucky, Beach finished 2025 Superbike Race 1 in P3 while competing in Superbike Cup on Stock 1000 spec machinery. Coming into his de facto home round fresh off of a double-win weekend at Laguna Seca, Beach appears to be heating up at the right time of the season.
Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz opened his 2026 campaign in dominant form. The South African rider captured four straight podiums to start the season and led the points chase until Road America, where a P6 finish in Race 1 and a mechanical DNF in Race 2 cost him the top spot in the standings. He reclaimed the points lead at the following round in Washington state, but a challenging weekend in California has since dropped him to third, 14 points behind leader Kelly. Scholtz and Beach are tied for the most wins this season, with three each.
Outside the top three, the standings get steeper — but with 250 points still available across the remaining 10 races, nothing is settled. Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong sits fourth, 46 points off the lead. A race win is worth 25 championship points, and as this season has shown, one mistake from the leaders could pull him right back into the title fight.
Wrench Motorcycles rider Cameron Petersen trails the points lead by 56. The South African, now based in Florida, has continued to run up front aboard his 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 R, though two non-scoring finishes have kept him further back in the standings than his pace suggests. Petersen will look to continue the energy of his double-podium weekend at Laguna into the second half, starting at Mid-Ohio.
Rounding out the standings, M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Richie Escalante sits sixth, 100 points off the lead, with teammate Brandon Paasch just two points behind him. OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe holds eighth, while Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim and Rahal Ducati Moto with XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen round out the top 10.
In Superbike Cup points, Real Steel Honda’s Andrew Lee holds a commanding 75-point lead aboard his Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. The Northern California native has dominated the class all season, faltering only once with an uncharacteristic Race 1 DNF at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
The second half of the 2026 Quad Lock Superbike season is shaping up to be a fight to the finale, and fans can get close to the action at every round. Every MotoAmerica ticket doubles as a paddock pass, giving fans access to the factory and privateer rigs, the pits and the podium. Beyond the racing, the Mid-Ohio round will feature the Fan Zone, with free carnival games and activities for kids, motorsports and food vendors, and a “Wall of Death” stunt show to keep fans entertained all weekend.
