Mathew Scholtz is a happy man, and he should be. The South African is coming off an 11-win season in which he earned his second consecutive MotoAmerica Supersport title. Those two years of domination have led him back to the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship for the 2026 season. A five-time MotoAmerica Superbike race winner, Scholtz will be aboard a Yamaha YZF-R1 with Strack Racing, the same team on which he won the past two Supersport Championships. Scholtz knows that the task is a big one, but he’s ready for the challenge as the team gets closer to starting its off-season testing program. On this episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice, we caught up with Scholtz from his home in Georgia to discuss the year that was and the year that is to come.
