Dunlop Celebrates 2026 MotoAmerica Champions and Record-Setting Performances

Sportmax Slick performance and dedicated trackside support highlight a season capped by Bobby Fong’s first Superbike title.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – October 13, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Dunlop Motorcycle Tires congratulates the 2026 MotoAmerica champions following a dramatic season finale at New Jersey Motorsports Park. From new lap records on Sportmax Slick tires to a championship showdown in demanding wet conditions, the season showcased the riders, teams and tire support behind American road racing.

As MotoAmerica’s official tire supplier, Dunlop continued its commitment to the series with race tires and trackside service supporting competitors throughout the season. The Sportmax Slick remained central to that effort, helping riders deliver record-setting speed in dry conditions, while Dunlop’s Sportmax Rain tires supported the field when the weather changed.

Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong completed his championship campaign with a determined performance at the September 25–27 finale. Arriving 26 points behind Sean Dylan Kelly, Fong won both Saturday Superbike races to cut the deficit to two points. Fourth place in Sunday’s wet final race secured his first Quad Lock Superbike Championship, finishing the season with 316 points to Kelly’s 305. Mathew Scholtz won the final race for Strack Racing.

“Congratulations to Bobby Fong and every one of this year’s MotoAmerica champions,” said Chad Geer Director, Motorcycle Products & Motorsports. “A championship reflects a full season of preparation, commitment and execution. We’re proud that Dunlop is part of that effort, from the performance of our Sportmax Slick tires to the people supporting riders at the track. The lap records set this year give our team even more motivation to keep developing and improving.”

Dunlop Sportmax Slick tires helped riders rewrite the record books throughout 2026. At multiple races and in varying classes, Dunlop Sportmax Slick tires broke countless lap records.

Behind those results, Dunlop’s trackside crew provided tire mounting, setup guidance and support as teams worked through changing conditions. The wet New Jersey finale put that preparation into focus, with Dunlop Sportmax Rain tires playing a key role in the season’s closing races.

“Our crew works closely with the riders and teams all season, and we take pride in being ready when they need us,” said Cori Maynard, Coordinator of Motorsports Logistics. “A weekend like New Jersey asks a lot of everyone in the paddock. Seeing the season come together and watching these riders celebrate their championships makes the work worthwhile. Congratulations to the champions, and thank you to every team and every member of our Dunlop crew.”

For Dunlop, the Twins Cup title carried added significance: Team Dunlop Elite Road Race alumnus Hank Vossberg clinched the championship with Robem Engineering during a weekend sweep at VIR. His progression from the Team Dunlop Elite program to a MotoAmerica championship reflects Dunlop’s commitment to supporting young racers as they advance through the sport.
