Irvine, CA (March 17, 2026) – MotoAmerica, North America’s premier motorcycle road racing series, is proud to announce that Utah SuperBike has joined the growing list of organizations hosting qualifiers for the 2026 Mission Mini Cup National Final.

The addition of Utah SuperBike further strengthens MotoAmerica’s nationwide grassroots development program by giving riders in Utah and surrounding states an opportunity to earn bonus points and prepare for the biggest Mission Mini Cup event of the season.

“We appreciate Utah SuperBike’s commitment to hosting these MotoAmerica Mission Mini Cup qualifiers,” said MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland. “Jeff (Taylor, Utah SuperBike Vice President) and his team already host a successful racing series in Utah, and they have stepped up by providing multiple chances for their riders to earn the 10 available bonus points toward the National Final in August. We look forward to seeing everyone compete for a championship later this summer.”

The Mission Mini Cup program features riders ages 6 to 16 in the following classes:

  • Stock 50 (ages 6-8)
  • Stock 110 (ages 8-12)
  • GP 110 (ages 10-14)
  • GP 160 (10-14)
  • GP 190 (12-16)

The Mission Mini Cup classes serve as the official youth development ladder of MotoAmerica and are a proving ground for the sport’s next generation of professional talent.

“Utah SuperBike is thrilled to host these Mission Mini Cup qualifiers again for 2026,” said Taylor. “This year, we have added another qualifier to the schedule, giving everyone three chances to get the 10 bonus points towards the National Final in August. We recognize that the future of American racing rests on the shoulders of these young athletes, and Utah SuperBike is honored to support their two-wheel dreams.”
