This year’s Daytona 200 will include 67 riders from 13 countries on five brands of motorcycles. (Brian J. Nelson/)As we rev up for another season of MotoAmerica competition, one thing is clear: For the 10th year in a row the series has continued to grow. There is no doubt that part of this stems from the fact that the series has embraced change, tried new classes, and modified others to ensure that the racing remains the star of the show. As buyers’ tastes have evolved over the years with the bikes they purchase, MotoAmerica has paid attention and made those adjustments.In 2023, the series hosted more than 200,000 fans at its nine events, ran 103 individual races across all classes, while airing 673 broadcasts across its TV and digital-viewing platforms. In total MotoAmerica has nine different classes, with different combinations making up race weekends at the nine stand-alone events, in addition to special events like the Daytona 200 and support races at Circuit of The Americas MotoGP event. The classes include: Superbike, Supersport, Stock 1000, Junior Cup, Twins Cup, King of the Baggers, Royal Enfield Build. Train. Race., Super Hooligan, and Mini Cup.The Mission King of the Baggers series will kick off its season at Daytona. (Brian J. Nelson/)Perhaps one of the biggest pieces of news for 2024 is that the King of the Baggers class will run alongside MotoGP at Circuit of The Americas, putting this unique-to-America series on the world stage. Additionally, the class welcomes some exciting new racers like former WSBK factory rider Ruben Xaus and Australian Superbike champ Troy Herfoss joining the fray.As is tradition, and for the second year in a row after rejoining the MotoAmerica fold, the Daytona 200 will kick off America’s roadracing season from Daytona International Speedway.
