Although there have been four different race winners in the first three rounds of the 2025 Motovation Supersport season, the cream of a year ago has already risen to the top, giving us another PJ Jacobsen vs. Mathew Scholtz slugfest as the series heads to the Pacific Northwest for round four at Ridge Motorsports Park, June 27-29.

The name at the top of the heap is Jacobsen and his Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Ducati Panigale V2, with the New Yorker consistently fast with two wins, three seconds, and a third, which translates to him finishing on the podium in all six races.

Scholtz and his Strack Racing Yamaha YZF-R9 have also won two races, but his non-wins haven’t been as strong as Jacobsen’s, with two thirds, a fourth, and a fifth. The South African rolls into Shelton, Washington, trailing Jacobsen by 20 points.

Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott hasn’t won a race yet in 2025, but you can sense that it’s coming. And he needs it, as he can’t let the top two get much farther ahead and still have a fighting chance in the championship. Scott is coming off a good weekend at Road America with a second in race one and a fifth in race two. He heads to round four 46 points behind Jacobsen and 26 in arrears of Scholtz.

Scholtz’s teammate Blake Davis is the third rider to win a Motovation Supersport race, with the youngster arriving at Ridge fresh off a race-two victory at Road America. Unfortunately, Davis crashed out of race one. The 19-year-old is two points behind Scott in the battle for third.

The fourth rider to win a race is BPR Racing’s Josh Hayes, with the four-time AMA Superbike Champion winning in the rain in the second race of the year at Road Atlanta. Hayes had a miserable Road America and has dropped down to eighth in the title chase.

Altus Motorsports’ Jake Lewis was happy to see Road America in his rear-view mirror, with the Kentuckian’s size always a problem at the track in Elkhart Lake. Lewis salvaged two seventh-place finishes to hold on to fifth in the championship, just two points ahead of Celtic/Economy Lube+Tire/Warhorse HSBK Ducati’s Cameron Petersen, with the South African scoring his first podium finish of the year in race two with his second-place finish.

Petersen is just four points ahead of Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s Kayla Yaakov and 10 ahead of Hayes.

SC-Project Twins Cup – Back To Work

The last time the SC-Project Twins Cup racers turned a wheel in anger was way back on April 4 at Barber Motorsports Park, which means that many of them haven’t raced a motorcycle since then.

Alessandro Di Mario isn’t among them, as the Robem Engineering-backed Kentuckian has been competing and is leading the Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul Championship. But this coming weekend, Di Mario will be back on his Aprilia RS 660 in an effort to successfully defend his 2024 Twins Cup title.

So far, so good for Di Mario, as he leads the title chase heading to Ridge by 19 points over RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin.

Chapin leads the way in race wins with his two victories from Daytona back in March, but he has a non-score in race two at Barber, while Di Mario has been both fast and consistent with a win and three second-place finishes.

Giaccmoto Yamaha Racing’s Dominic Doyle is third in the championship by just five points over Bad Boys Racing’s Avery Dreher and seven over Koch Racing’s Sean Ungvarsky.

Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul race winner Hank Vossberg will make his SC-Project Twins Cup debut at Ridge Motorsports Park on a Robem Engineering Aprilia RS 660.

The top three in the championship are racing motorcycles from three different manufacturers – Aprilia, Suzuki, and Yamaha.

Mission Super Hooligan National Championship – Lewis Red Hot

Saddlemen Race Development’s Jake Lewis heads to the Pacific Northwest with the hot hand in the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship. Lewis has won three of the four races held thus far in 2025 – race two at Daytona International Speedway and a doubleheader sweep at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

The three wins put him atop the championship standings by 15 points over his teammate Travis Wyman, who in turn is just five points ahead of his younger brother Cody and his KWR Harley-Davidson Pan America.

Saddlemen Race Development’s defending class champion Cory West is the only rider other than Lewis to win a race (race one at Daytona) and he’s currently fourth in the title chase, a point behind Cody Wyman and 21 points behind Lewis.

Giaccmoto Yamaha Racing’s Dominic Doyle is the first non-Harley in the championship point standings. Doyle and his Yamaha MT-09 SP are fifth in the title chase.

Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. – Tripleheader!

The women of the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. program will race three times this weekend at Ridge Motorsports Park to make up for the race that was pushed off the schedule by inclement weather at Barber Motorsports Park in April.

With three races on their scorecard thus far in 2025, Miranda Cain is atop the point standings, with the Road America race-two winner leading Kira Knebel by four points in what promises to be a hotly contested championship.

Knebel is the only multi-time winner so far in 2025, with her wins coming in the lone Barber race and the recent race one at Road America.

Shea MacGregor is only six points out of the lead in third, with her two second-place finishes putting her just four points clear of Camille Conrad and eight ahead of Cassie Creer, who rounds out the top five in the championship as the series has its first tripleheader at Ridge.

Pre-Ridge Motorsports Park Notes…

Last year’s race at Ridge Motorsports Park was the fifth round of the MotoAmerica Championship, and Mathew Scholtz left the Pacific Northwest with four wins in a row, including his two at Ridge. Scholtz beat PJ Jacobsen and Kayla Yaakov to win race one prior to the controversial race two in which Scholtz and Jacobsen came together, with the latter crashing out of the race. Scholtz was able to carry on, beating Yaakov and Tyler Scott.

Cody Wyman and Jake Lewis were the winners in the two Mission Super Hooligan National Championship races at Ridge. Wyman beat Hayden Schultz and Tyler O’Hara in race one, with Lewis topping O’Hara and Cory West in race two.

Mikayla Moore won both races in the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. program at Ridge in 2024, beating Camille Conrad and Kira Knebel in race one and Lauren Prince and Aubrey Credaroli in race two.

The SC-Project Twins Cup class didn’t race at Ridge last year, but Dominic Doyle and Rocco Landers emerged victorious in the two races in 2023.

PJ Jacobsen leads all active Supersport racers on the all-time MotoAmerica Supersport wins list with 13 career victories. That puts him sixth all-time and just one behind Josh Herrin (fifth) and two behind Richie Escalante (fourth). The all-time wins leader in the class is JD Beach with 32 career victories.

Seven riders have won Mission Super Hooligan National Championship races in the four-year history of the class: Tyler O’Hara, Cory West, Jake Lewis, Andy DiBrino, Jeremy McWilliams, Cody Wyman, and Troy Herfoss. O’Hara leads the way with eight wins.
