Vortex Racing and EK Chain will continue their support of MotoAmerica in 2026, returning as Official Sponsors of North America’s premier motorcycle road racing championship.

Their continued sponsorship of the MotoAmerica series reinforces a shared commitment to competition, reliability, and development at the highest level of American road racing.

Vortex Racing, a long-time manufacturer of high-performance motorcycle components, and EK Chain, a global leader in drive-chain technology, bring decades of racing experience, acquired from the highest levels of competition, to the MotoAmerica Championship. Products from both companies, including sprockets, rearsets, clip-ons, and chains, are used broadly throughout the MotoAmerica paddock on every race weekend, in an unmatched test environment where durability and performance are critical.

The 2026 season marks another step in the ongoing relationship between MotoAmerica, Vortex Racing, and EK Chain reflecting the brands’ continued investment in American road racing and their support of teams and riders competing at the national level.

“MotoAmerica continues to be the most demanding and meaningful proving ground for our products, and we are proud to support a championship that consistently pushes teams, riders, and manufacturers to perform at the highest level,” said Steve Malone, VP of Operations at Vortex Racing and EK Chain. “We remain fully committed to the paddock, the people, and the competition that make this series what it is, and we are grateful to be part of a championship that continues to strengthen professional motorcycle road racing in the United States.”

MotoAmerica emphasized the value of long-term partners with a deep understanding of racing and its demands.

“Racing in MotoAmerica often separates champions from competitors by hundredths of a second,” said Lance Bryson, Director of Sponsorship for MotoAmerica.“Consistency in performance is non-negotiable, which is why companies like Vortex Racing and EK Chain are fixtures in our paddock with top performing teams. Their continued support reflects our commitment to strengthen the championship and push the level of our competition.”

The 2026 MotoAmerica Championship will feature competition in seven classes and at 10 rounds across the United States, continuing the series’ role as the top level of professional motorcycle road racing in North America.
