Road America sees the largest turnout for motorcycle racing in their long history
The famous Road America race course saw its largest ever attended motorcycle racing audience over the weekend, with the MotoAmerica series roaring into Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The weather was perfect, the track conditions were ideal, and the crowds came from near and far, filling the stands, the campgrounds, and along the fences around this legendary track. They were not disappointed, as the racing was outstanding.

“To have the largest motorcycle racing crowd in the history of Road America is something we’re all proud of,” said MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland. “The racing continues to be some of the closest we experience on our calendar, and the great weather helped deliver this increasingly large and enthusiastic crowd. This has been a great weekend for MotoAmerica, and we want to thank all the fans who came out and made this event one to remember. We can’t wait to do it all again in 2026.”
“This was a milestone weekend for all of us,” said Mike Kertscher, President and General Manager of Road America. “The energy from the fans, the world-class competition, and the sheer volume of everything from entries to spectators made this the biggest Superbike event we’ve ever hosted since motorcycles first hit the track in 1980. Road America is built for moments like these: wide-open speed, family entertainment, and unforgettable memories.”

Fans enjoyed heated competition in Superbike, Supersport, Stock 1000 (our own Ryan Nolan made his MotoAmerica debut in it), Talent Cup, and the Royal Enfield “Build. Train. Race.” class. There is quite simply no racing in America quite like what takes place on this massive track. These are a few photos and highlights from the “weekend of speed” at Road America.

The always exciting Talent Cup (formerly known as Junior Cup) saw a three-wide finish Sunday, with Alessandro Di Mario (27) edging out Julian Correa (40) and Sam Drane (59) at the checkers, Bodie Paige (65) right behind. That’s good racing. Photo by MotoAmerica/Brian J. Nelson.
