Scholtz Crowned Back-to-Back MotoAmerica Supersport Champion
Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz caps off an incredible 2025 season with a double win in New Jersey and his second-consecutive MotoAmerica Supersport title / Sep 29, 2025 /
For the second year running, Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz secured the MotoAmerica Supersport Championship a race early at the New Jersey Motorsports Park. It was a stellar conclusion to a successful debut season for the all-new Yamaha R9, as the South African earned victories in both Supersport races at the series finale in Millville, New Jersey.
Scholtz kicked off his title defense with a win at the opening race of the 2025 season at Barber Motorsports Park. It was a hard-fought title campaign that saw the reigning champ finishing the season strong at New Jersey Motorsports Park, amassing 11 victories and a total of 16 podium finishes over the course of the 18-race championship. In addition to his back-to-back titles in Supersport, Scholtz also won the MotoAmerica Supertock 1000 Championship aboard Yamaha machinery in 2017.
It was a successful season for Strack Racing as Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S.A.’s Official MotoAmerica Supersport team with the all-new R9. The team expanded to a two-rider effort in 2025, with rising talent Blake Davis delivering a strong performance to finish third in the championship standings, earning three wins and 10 podium finishes.
Peter Strack – Strack Racing Team Principal
“Back-to-back championships are never easy, but to achieve it while introducing a brand-new R9 makes this one unforgettable. From winning the opening race to closing the season as champions, it was a monumental effort by Mat and the entire team. Yamaha’s support has been tremendously helpful every step of the way, and I couldn’t be more proud of the dedication and long hours that made this possible.”
Mathew Scholtz – Strack Racing #1
“It was a great weekend for me and the Strack Racing team. Taking home back-to-back titles – closing the R6 era with a championship last year and then welcoming the new R9 with another one – I couldn’t be happier. Thank you to everyone involved. Yamaha’s been a great partner. The R9 was an absolute weapon. We broke records at almost every single track, and I can only see it getting stronger from here. I’m glad I got to debut it and take a championship.”
