Five of MotoAmerica’s exciting feature classes return to action this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where the championship battles continue to tighten. From middleweight missiles to heavyweight baggers, production-based twins and high-horsepower hooligan machines, every point earned in Ohio could prove pivotal before each class reaches their respective home-stretch run.

The legendary 2.4-mile, 15-turn Mid-Ohio circuit has challenged North America’s best motorcycle racers for decades. Its flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes and technical braking zones reward riders who can maintain momentum while capitalizing on every passing opportunity, making it one of the most demanding venues on the MotoAmerica calendar.

Supersport

The MotoAmerica Supersport class arrives in Ohio with championship momentum beginning to shift after another thrilling West Coast swing. Every race has become increasingly important as the title contenders look to separate themselves before the final four rounds of the season.

Championship leader Darryn Binder continues to set the standard aboard the Celtic/Economy Lube + Tire/Warhorse Ducati Panigale V2 after his first up-and-down weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Rahal Ducati Moto with Desnuda Organic Tequila’s Josh Herrin took advantage of Binder’s miscalculations in California and is now just nine points behind the series leader with four rounds remaining.  

Herrin’s teammate Kayla Yaakov sits third in points aboard the Rahal Ducati Moto with Droplight Ducati Panigale V2, 81 marks behind the leader. The 19-year-old female flyer had a scary moment at the previous round that injured her clutch hand but she has confirmed that she will line up in Ohio for Round 7.

MotoAmerica Supersport Championship Top 3:

1. Darryn Binder – 223 points | Celtic/Economy Lube + Tire/Warhorse (Ducati Panigale V2)
2. Josh Herrin – 214 points | Rahal Ducati Moto with Desnuda Organic Tequila (Ducati Panigale V2)

Mission King Of The Baggers

The Mission King Of The Baggers championship returns to Mid-Ohio, bringing absolute American Thunder straight into the heart of Thunder Valley. Watch factory Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle heavyweights clash in an epic American V-twin showdown. Massive torque, brutal braking zones, and Mid-Ohio’s technical rhythm make this the most entertaining weekend on the MotoAmerica schedule.

Hayden Gillim maintains his championship lead aboard the J&P Cycles/Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian Challenger. His streak of five consecutive podiums ended with a tough round at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, but he still holds the top spot. Teammate Troy Herfoss remains hot on his heels in second for the factory Indian squad. Meanwhile, Bradley Smith is third and continues to charge forward for the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing team.

With 150 points still left on the table for the year (including the upcoming races at Mid-Ohio), the championship is wide open. Riders like Smith’s surging factory H-D teammate Kyle Wyman can find their way back from a 43-point deficit in fourth if the leaders aren’t on their game.

One thing is certain, the championship fight will be heating up at each round, starting this weekend at the technical Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Mission King Of The Baggers Championship Top 3:

1. Hayden Gillim – 156 points | J&P Cycles/Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian (Indian Challenger)

3. Bradley Smith – 136 points | Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing (Harley-Davidson Road Glide)

Twins Cup

The Twins Cup championship returns following a brief summer break for another double-piston showdown. The lightweight, production-based sportbikes have already delivered some of the closest racing of the season, and Mid-Ohio’s technical layout should place an even greater premium on precision and corner speed.

Robem Engineering’s Hank Vossberg has established himself as the rider to beat aboard his Aprilia RS 660, but the championship remains far from settled. The Wisconsin native leads the championship by 62 points over M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin and has a 70-point advantage over Chapin’s teammate Bodie Paige in third. The two Suzuki GSX-8R riders are looking to claw points back towards the top and prolong the title fight to the closing rounds of the season. 

Time is running out to catch the leader. Including the upcoming Mid-Ohio round, the Twins Cup championship has just three stops left on the calendar. With 150 maximum points on the table, the window is closing fast for anyone hoping to derail Vossberg’s breakaway at the front.

MotoAmerica Twins Cup Championship Top 3:

1. Hank Vossberg – 177 points | Robem Engineering (Aprilia RS 660)
2. Matthew Chapin – 115 points | M4 ECSTAR Suzuki (Suzuki GSX-8R)
3. Bodie Paige – 107 points | M4 ECSTAR Suzuki  (Suzuki GSX-8R)

Mission Super Hooligan National Championship

The Mission Super Hooligan National Championship returns to Ohio with a razor-thin points gap separating the top three riders. Fueled by raw horsepower and pure determination, this class has earned its reputation as the most unpredictable in the paddock. Mid-Ohio marks the critical penultimate stop of the 2026 season. With the title fight almost certain to go down to the wire, every single point at Round 5 is crucial.

Andy DiBrino leads the Super Hooligan charge on his BPR Racing Yamaha MT-09 SP, holding a slim five-point advantage over teammate and team owner Bryce Kornbau. Former leader Gus Rodio remains a dangerous threat in third, sitting just six points out of first on his Rodio Racing Ducati Streetfighter V2. As the final two rounds loom, the surging BPR Racing Yamaha duo looks to maintain their recent edge over the Ducati contender.

Saddlemen Race Development’s James Rispoli is firmly in the mix, entering the Ohio round just 19 points adrift of leader DiBrino. Completing the top five in the standings is Corey Alexander, trailing the leader by 37 points aboard the ARCH Motorcycle Racing’s bespoke 2s-R machine.
