The American Superbike Show

The 2026 MotoAmerica season is officially in the books, and New Jersey Motorsports Park delivered one last dramatic weekend before the offseason begins. Bobby Fong completed an incredible comeback to claim the Superbike championship after entering the finale chasing Sean Dylan Kelly, while SDK saw his title hopes disappear in heartbreaking fashion in the final race of the season. We break down all...

The final race weekend of the 2026 MotoAmerica season is here, and two championships are still up for grabs at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Sean Dylan Kelly arrives with a 26-point advantage in the Superbike championship, but Bobby Fong is still within striking distance with three races and 75 points available. Mathew Scholtz and JD Beach remain mathematically alive as the season comes down to its...

Three championships were decided at Circuit of the Americas as MotoAmerica’s 2026 season moved one step closer to the finish line. Andrew Lee officially wrapped up the Superbike Cup title, Darryn Binder completed a dominant weekend by sweeping both Supersport races and securing the championship, and Hayden Gillim added another King of the Baggers number-one plate to his résumé. Meanwhile, the Supe...

The 2026 MotoAmerica season heads to Circuit of the Americas, and the Superbike championship picture is looking awfully familiar. Just like last season, five riders arrive at COTA mathematically alive in the championship, four realistically have a shot, and the points leader holds a 17-point advantage over second place. Sean Dylan Kelly leads the way after a remarkably consistent season aboard the...

With only two rounds remaining in the 2026 MotoAmerica season, the championship picture is coming into focus — but there is still plenty left to decide. This week on The American Superbike Show, we break down the championship battles heading into Circuit of the Americas. Superbike remains wide open with SDK, Mathew Scholtz, JD Beach and Bobby Fong all still in contention, while Darryn Binder has b...

Is MotoAmerica Superbike entering a new golden age? This week on The American Superbike Show, I take a closer look at the growing depth of the Superbike field, from six different race winners in 2026 to the increased level of factory support from BMW, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki and Honda. With more competitive riders and machinery than we’ve seen in years, the premier class may be in its strongest pos...

Virginia International Raceway wash hot, it was fun, it was physically punishing, and it was historic.   Josh Hayes gets to open the show. You earn the right when you get AMA victory number 90!    The Mailbag Returns as I try to learn more of what I don't know, you know? We also have news of the week and it is the sad kind.

Thank you, MotoAmerica.   I want to say that first because the series commitment to provide an opportunity for the youth of our sport to shine is unmatched by other sporting organizations here in the US.   Why not have two episodes this week so we can preview all of the fun action to be had this weekend from the Briggs and Stratton Motorplex near turn 5 at Road America. The weather looks like it's...

If you ever wanted to know what that first sound is before the music each episode I finally explain what it is! Also, I am loving the new official theme music of The American Superbike Show: "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" by the band Fay Wray. Not everyone can say they have a theme song, especially one that rocks.   A couple of items before we recap all of the races that happened last weekend at...

So many storylines going into such a historic track, it's hard to get it all into 30-ish  minutes but I did! It starts with the news of the week:   MP13 announced their lineup for next year as well as this weekend. Avery and Ella Dreher will be back for 2027 and that should provide the continuity that both riders and the team need to keep making progress towards the front of the grid. For this wee...

As sort of a bonus episode I was able to spend a few moments with MotoAmerica race winner Eli Block as he prepares to make his return to the series this weekend at MotoAmerica Superbikes at Mid-Ohio. While Eli has spent most of his time this summer either coaching or on the golf course he still managed to put together a program with his Dad to take on the Loudon Classic and man did they really imp...

This week we get our third and final volume of answers from riders in our 5 Questions series.

This weekend the series travels about as far away from me as they can when they head to the Seattle area for the MotoAmerica Superbikes at Ridge Motorsports Park weekend. I love the west coast swing so I can go kayaking in the morning and still be home in plenty of time to catch all the races live.   In our News of the Week, Tyler Scott won the 103rd Loudon Classic! He has now won that race for th...

Big news this week with Cameron Beaubier missing the next round at The Ridge Motorsports Park.

B.TR. has been a staple of the MotoAmerica paddock for many years. While I have always loved it this year I think the depth of talent is the best it has ever been in this programs history.   Get to know this collection of truly amazing people that balance not only the work and level of detail required to be their own crew chiefs and mechanics while riding on the professional stage with being an ic...

We start with our first mailbag question and try to go over the unfortunate incident involving Ella Dreher from different angles. The bottom line; there is no blame that needs to be assigned here. I don't think there is anything that could have been done differently that would have changed the outcome.   After that I just kinda load up on coffee as we go class by class reviewing the action from th...

A little bonus episode of a short interview with Kaleb De Keyrel during move-in at Barber looking forward to getting out on track on the Lightfighter in Super Hooligans.   As always, thank you to Riding Times to help make this happen.

It's Race week again! We preview all the action to come from Barber Motorsports Park after a couple of news of the week items.   First, I give my opinion about MotoAmerica raising the rev limit for Harley Davidson in King of the Baggers. In short, I don't like it but our biggest takeaway is balancing different motorcycles is really hard.   Logan Cunnison will be making his Supersport debut on a Su...
