It would have taken a brave person to bet money on James Rispoli winning the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship after the first two rounds of the series at Daytona International Speedway and Road Atlanta. Rispoli was third and fifth in the two races at Daytona and those were a highlight as the two races at Road Atlanta ended with zero points for the KWR Harley-Davidson team.
He left Georgia trailing points leader Jake Lewis by 48 points. But it all changed at Ridge Motorsports Park when Rispoli carded a pair of second-place finishes. That started a roll with Rispoli winning the final four races to beat Lewis to the title by four points. We chatted with Rispoli about his Hooligan title, the Mission King Of The Baggers Championship, and more on this episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.
