Wrench Motorcycles, the “little Superbike team that could” (and did), returns to the MotoAmerica paddock after a one-year hiatus, and this time, they’re seeing red.
Team owner Jamin Mathis has confirmed that Cameron Petersen will return to the premier Superbike Championship, and he will be aboard a Wrench Motorcycles Ducati Panigale V4 R. Petersen and the Wrench Motorcycles team will campaign a factory-spec 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 R in collaboration with Ducati Corse and Warhorse—bringing together deep technical expertise and race-proven performance.
“Cam P” has a strong racing record across multiple MotoAmerica classes. The Zimbabwean-bred, Spanish-born South African has won multiple races in MotoAmerica Supersport, Stock 1000, Mission King Of The Baggers, and Superbike, including the 2020 Stock 1000 Championship. Known for his adaptability and technical feedback, Petersen has been a key contributor to every program he’s been part of. His experience with top-tier machinery and his ability to compete at the front make him a significant addition to the team’s 2026 Superbike effort.
Oh, and also, he’s got a secret weapon.
Rejoining Wrench Motorcycles is Cam P’s father Robbie Petersen, a former star road racer himself, and the man responsible for helping riders like Tyler Scott, Bobby Fong, Hayden Gillim, and JD Beach bring their games to greatness. The elder Petersen is team manager for Wrench Motorcycles and, for the first time in AMA/MotoAmerica racing, he’ll be on the same race team as his son and serving as his crew chief.
“2026 is shaping up to be a competitive year in Superbike, and we’re excited to be part of it,” said team owner Mathis. “With Cam on the V4 R, I’m confident we’ll be a key part in elevating the pressure throughout the grid.”
Cam P commented, “I’m incredibly grateful to Wrench Motorcycles for this opportunity in 2026. I can’t wait to line up on the Superbike grid again. With the team and package we’ve put together, we aim to be at the sharp end—competing for podiums and wins. The Ducati has proven itself as the best bike out there, and I feel lucky to continue riding for such an amazing brand. Let’s go racing!”
Robbie Petersen, whose own racing career started out on Ducati motorcycles, comes into 2026 with renewed vigor manifested by a return to red and a racing reunion with his son. He said, “Cam and I used to work together when he was younger and racing in South Africa. This will be the first time we will be on the same team in MotoAmerica. It’ll be a challenge to balance my responsibilities as Cam’s father with my role as team manager and crew chief, but I am very much looking forward to it.
“My road racing roots are with Ducati,” Robbie Petersen added. “In fact, my first-ever National race win was on a Ducati Pantah 500, which we raced in the 575cc class before it became the 600cc class. We also raced Pantah 600s against the 750s, and I even competed against two of my brothers. The three of us swept the podium at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in South Africa.”
MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland had this to say: “MotoAmerica is excited to welcome Wrench Motorcycles back to the championship for 2025, along with the return of Cameron Petersen to the Superbike class. Wrench Motorcycles made a strong impact during their 2024 Superbike campaign, where Bobby Fong earned two impressive victories for the team. They showed a high level of engineering expertise, and manufactured many of the components they raced with. Their return is great news for our series and our fans, and we’re looking forward to seeing them back in the paddock next season.”
The 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season will feature 20 Superbike races at nine rounds across the U.S.
