In this episode we wrap up on-site coverage from MotoAmerica's opening race, the Daytona 200. Sit back and listen in to the sounds of Twins Cup, Super Hooligans and King of the Baggers take to the high banks at Daytona International Speedway. Each recording was taken during a practice session early in the weekend.

You could get just as close to the action! MotoAmerica is looking for volunteers for each race weekend in 2026. A variety of positions are available and no experience is needed! Email Chief Marshal David Hawley at [email protected] or Deputy Chief Marshall Lee Hollimon at [email protected] to take part in an online meeting either April 22nd or 23rd at 7p ET.

The kids are alright, as they say. MotoAmerica's Talent Cup kicked off their 2026 championship season as an undercard for MotoGP at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX. Four riders separated themselves from the pack in both races but it was a fun battle that involved all four challenging for the lead.

Baggers World Cup also happened, but I admit I didn't actually watch it.

Bonus episode next week, then the Superbikes cometh!

Looking ahead to Talent Cup kicking off their 2026 championship as an undercard for MotoGP at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX. We also glance at Baggers World Cup making their debut and wish Julian Correa well as he kicks off his 2026 campaign in the new World Sportbike Championship at Portimao.

If you see me at Daytona I would love to give you an American Superbike Show sticker, cause who doesn't love stickers?

Sorry I had to take this down and repost again, apparently the original audio format was not supported on Spotify so I had to rectify that.

In my rush to put together yesterdays episode to incorporate the announced deal between V10 Entertainment and Samsung TV I made two big errors;

Bodie Paige will ride in Twins Cup in 2026 for Team Hammer, and

Live Plus is not dead.

Some will cheer, some will cry, but MotoAmerica Live Plus is no more. Honestly, I don’t think MotoAmerica gets enough credit for what they accomplished on their own but also thank you God and V10 Entertainment!
