IRVINE, CA – November 3, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Hot on the heels of a thrilling 2022 season that saw three of its championships decided at the final round – with two of those won on tiebreakers – MotoAmerica, North America’s premier road racing series, has announced its tentative 2023 schedule, highlighted by 20 Medallia Superbike races slated across nine rounds.

2023 MotoAmerica Championship schedule

The 2023 MotoAmerica Championship schedule features a record
100 races spread amongst its eight championship classes.

The Supersport class gets an exciting twist, with two of its rounds (Barber Motorsports Park and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca) featuring a single points-paying race with an extended distance that will require a pit stop for tire changes and fuel.

Additionally, the Medallia Superbike class will compete three times over the weekend at both Laguna Seca and Pittsburgh International Race Complex, with one Saturday and two Sunday races.

“The 2022 season for MotoAmerica saw some excellent racing across all classes and we couldn’t be more excited for what 2023 has in store,” said MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland. “The new schedule has taken into consideration costs, geography, and logistics, as well as feedback from fans and teams. As our events grow, it’s also important we expand to larger facilities, and we are extremely pleased to announce a standalone round at the Circuit of The Americas. And, along with increasing the length of two Supersport races to necessitate pit stops, great things are in the pipeline for 2023, and Daytona can’t get here soon enough.”

The MotoAmerica season kicks off as it did in 2022 with the Daytona 200 at Daytona International Speedway. The iconic race will again feature AMA/FIM North America Supersport-class machines with riders from around the world taking part in the race’s 81st running. In addition to the 200, there will be two races for the three other classes set to run on the high banks: REV’IT! Twins Cup, Mission King Of The Baggers, and Roland Sands Design’s Super Hooligan National Championship.
