As we rev up for another season of MotoAmerica competition, one thing is clear: For the 10th year in a row the series has continued to grow. There is no doubt that part of this stems from the fact that the series has embraced change, tried new classes, and modified others to ensure that the racing remains the star of the show. As buyers’ tastes have evolved over the years with the bikes they purchase, MotoAmerica has paid attention and made those adjustments.

In 2023, the series hosted more than 200,000 fans at its nine events, ran 103 individual races across all classes, while airing 673 broadcasts across its TV and digital-viewing platforms. In total MotoAmerica has nine different classes, with different combinations making up race weekends at the nine stand-alone events, in addition to special events like the Daytona 200 and support races at Circuit of The Americas MotoGP event. The classes include: Superbike, Supersport, Stock 1000, Junior Cup, Twins Cup, King of the Baggers, Royal Enfield Build. Train. Race., Super Hooligan, and Mini Cup.

The MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike season will kick off at Road Atlanta April 19 to 21, with Supersport and Junior Cup also getting underway. The following round will host the first events of the season for the Royal Enfield Build. Train. Race. and Stock 1000 classes. In total, the meat of the MotoAmerica series will visit nine venues in 2024 including a return to Mid-Ohio and concluding with the New Jersey round in September.

Daytona 200: March 7 to 9, 2024

This stand-alone event will feature the unique format of the Daytona 200 with middleweight motorcycles from five different manufacturers tackling the speedway’s 3.51-mile, 12-turn road course and 31-degree banking for the coveted 82nd Daytona 200 title.

The 2024 entry list includes 67 riders from 13 different countries. Returning riders include last year’s Daytona 200 champion Josh Herrin to defend his title, joined by four-time AMA Superbike champion Josh Hayes, the Vision Wheel M4 Ecstar Suzuki team led by Richie Escalante and two-time Daytona 200 winner Brandon Paasch, and the new Rahal Ducati Moto team with PJ Jacobsen, Kayla Yaakov, and Corey Alexander. Some exciting international racers have committed this year as well, including 13-time Isle of Man winner Peter Hickman on a PHR Performance Team Triumph Street Triple 765 RS. He is joined by teammate Richard Cooper, who carded a top-five finish back in 2008. Others signed up are World Endurance Championship YART Yamaha team riders Marvin Fritz, Niccolò Canepa, and Karel Hanika, Canadian Superbike champ Ben Young, and so many more.
