MotoAmerica at VIR: Behind the Scenes

by Geoff & Barb Nickless | Aug 27, 2026 | Industry & Racing | 1 |

The paddock at a major motorcycle racing event sprouts up overnight like a traveling circus. Haulers, trucks, and vans with trailers arrive from all over the country, and all day into late evening. It becomes a campground of motor homes big and small, portable tents, toolboxes, camping gear, propane BBQs, motorcycles (of course) and all things necessary to support a rider as they pursue what they love- motorcycle road racing. Whatever track MotoAmerica rolls into, this racing circus appears and is gone as quickly as it went up. The only things missing are the elephants and peanuts.

MotoAmerica’s annual stop in Monterey marks the mid-season for teams and riders. The wear and tear of the season begins to take its toll. Losing sponsors, injuries, and mechanical breakdowns tax the resolve of everyone in the paddock. Somehow though, the riders are internally programed to lay it on the line and race as if nothing else matters. This provided the fans an exciting two days of wheel-to-wheel action at the famed Laguna Seca circuit.

Beaubier Wins Sixth Superbike Title

If the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship could be summed up in just a few words this year, “dramatic and unpredictable” would be a pretty good description. And it certainly held true in the final races at New Jersey Motorsports Park over the weekend. The final race round held three Superbike races, and the three contenders for the title were within a few points of each other going into the weekend. Number 1 plate holder Josh Herrin held third place, still within striking distance of holding his title with 292 season points. 5-time national champion Cameron Beaubier held 306 points, and the surprising class leader entering NJMP was the scrappy outlier Bobby Fong with 314.
With 74 points up for grabs, the 2025 Superbike championship finish was anyone’s guess.

Through The Lens: The Fong Factor

September 26th-28th in New Jersey, one of these three talented riders will wear the number 1 plate next season. As the points currently stand, after 27 races, Bobby is in the lead with 314, Cameron second with 306, and Josh third with 292. It’s anyone’s guess who will claim the 2025 championship, with only three 20-lap races to go and 75 points up for grabs. Currently, Bobby has five 1st place finishes, Cameron has five, and Josh six. If somehow there is a tie in points, these stats become very important in determining who will clinch the Superbike title. Will the “Fong Factor” come into play in New Jersey?

Beaubier Makes History

In March of 2010, a fresh-faced 17 year old named Cameron Beaubier won the first AMA professional race of his career at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Today, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, Beaubier won his 90th career race, making him the winningest road racer across all classes in AMA Pro Racing history. He’s now a 32-year-old, five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion, husband, and father. And arguably the face of the series.
