Mathew Scholtz of Strack Racing won the 2025 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship on Saturday with a victory in Race 1 at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey. Scholtz secured his second consecutive Supersport title by extending his points lead to an uncatchable margin, according to official MotoAmerica sources.
The South African rider dominated the race, finishing well ahead of the competition and securing an unassailable 46-point lead over his nearest rival, PJ Jacobsen, who placed third in the opening race.
Scholtz clinched the championship with his 10th victory of the 2025 season in Race 1 at New Jersey Motorsports Park, a race shortened from the scheduled 19 laps to 15 for safety reasons after rear-tire issues during qualifying, according to official MotoAmerica sources.
Jacobsen, riding for Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Panigale V2, entered the weekend trailing Scholtz by 21 points, with 50 points available across the two races. Scholtz?s win in Race 1 extended his lead beyond the 25-point margin required to clinch the title a race early, MotoAmerica officials confirmed. Blake Davis finished second in the first race, followed by Austin Petersen in third, Cameron Scott in fourth, and Kayla Yaakov in fifth, according to race results.
In Race 2, Jacobsen responded with a victory on the same Rahal Ducati machine, holding off Scholtz, who finished second after a competitive battle. Corey Alexander, also from Rahal Ducati Moto w/Roller Die + Forming, completed the podium in third place, finishing 13 seconds behind Scholtz and nearly 16.5 seconds off Jacobsen?s winning pace. Jacobsen?s seventh win of the 2025 season did not affect the championship outcome, as Scholtz had already secured the title.
Scholtz?s performance throughout the season has been dominant, with 10 wins in 2025 surpassing his eight victories from the previous championship year, according to season statistics. Over his two title-winning campaigns, Scholtz has amassed 18 wins in 36 MotoAmerica Supersport races. He also secured pole position for the NJMP finale with a lap time of 1:27.889, records show.
The championship finale at NJMP in Millville, New Jersey, marked the conclusion of the 2025 MotoAmerica Supersport season. Strack Racing?s Yamaha YZF-R6, piloted by Scholtz, proved consistently competitive, enabling the rider to wrap up the Motovation Supersport Championship emphatically, according to official statements from MotoAmerica and Yamaha Motorsports. The event drew attention for Scholtz?s ability to maintain a commanding lead despite challenges posed by competitors like Jacobsen and Blake Davis.
Jacobsen?s teammate, Kayla Yaakov, secured fifth place in Race 1, while Austin Petersen and Cameron Scott rounded out the top five finishers in the opening race. Stefano Mesa qualified second for the event, though he did not finish among the top five in Race 1, according to qualifying and race data.
MotoAmerica officials noted that Scholtz?s victory in Race 1 was decisive, as he distanced himself from the pack early and avoided involvement in the battles for lower positions. The race?s reduction in laps was implemented as a precaution following Scholtz?s tire issues during qualifying, ensuring rider safety without diminishing the competitive integrity of the event.
With the 2025 season concluded, Scholtz?s back-to-back Supersport titles underscore his sustained excellence in the series. The next MotoAmerica season is anticipated to begin in 2026, with teams and riders expected to prepare for the upcoming challenges.

Isaac Woodworth posted a lap time of 1:34.426 to secure fifth place in practice for the MotoAmerica Twins Cup at Road Atlanta on Friday. Woodworth aimed to rebound from a challenging Daytona race, according to team sources.
The session took place under partly cloudy skies with track temperatures hovering around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, conditions that riders noted as favorable for lap consistency. Woodworth?s performance marked an improvement over his previous outings earlier in the season, including the Daytona International Speedway event, where he encountered mechanical issues and finished outside the top ten, sources within his team confirmed.
Woodworth?s practice time of 1:34.426 placed him fifth among a competitive field during Friday?s MotoAmerica Twins Cup session at Road Atlanta, according to official timing sheets released by the series.
The Twins Cup class at Road Atlanta featured a strong lineup of riders, with the fastest practice time recorded by Cameron Petersen, who posted a 1:33.789 lap, according to MotoAmerica officials. Woodworth?s closest competitors in practice included Julian Wan and James Rispoli, who both clocked times within half a second of his mark. Team representatives indicated that Woodworth focused on refining his braking points and corner exits during the session, aiming to enhance his overall race pace. ?Isaac is working on consistency and tire management to better position himself for the race,? a team spokesperson said.
Woodworth?s team, known for fielding KTM motorcycles in the Twins Cup series, has been adjusting suspension settings and engine mapping following the Daytona race, according to technical staff. These changes were implemented to address handling issues that Woodworth experienced at the season opener. The adjustments appeared to yield positive results in practice, as the rider reported improved feedback from the bike during the session, sources close to the team confirmed. Woodworth?s lap time was within a tenth of his personal best at Road Atlanta, recorded during the previous season.
The MotoAmerica Twins Cup series, which serves as a development platform for emerging talent in the sport, has seen Woodworth consistently place within the top ten in prior events. Records from the 2026 season show that Woodworth finished fifth in both the Saturday and Sunday races at Road Atlanta, demonstrating competitive form on this circuit. The team?s focus ahead of the weekend?s races includes maintaining tire performance and optimizing race strategy to capitalize on Woodworth?s qualifying position, according to the crew chief.
Road Atlanta, a 2.54-mile, 12-turn road course located in Braselton, Georgia, is known for its challenging elevation changes and technical corners. The track demands precise bike setup and rider skill, factors that Woodworth and his team have prioritized in preparation for the event. Past race data indicates that weather conditions and track temperature can significantly influence tire wear and lap times in the Twins Cup class, elements that teams monitor closely during practice sessions.
Following the Road Atlanta event, the MotoAmerica Twins Cup series will continue its schedule with races at Virginia International Raceway and New Jersey Motorsports Park, as detailed in the official 2026 calendar released by the series organizers. Woodworth?s performance in practice and the upcoming races will be critical for his standing in the championship points, which currently place him within the top ten, according to the latest standings published by MotoAmerica.
