The 2025 MotoAmerica Supersport season is shaping up to be one of the most exhilarating yet, with Strack Racing returning to defend their championship title. Mathew Scholtz, the reigning champion, is set to ride the all-new Yamaha YZF-R9, a machine that has generated significant buzz in the racing community. With a fresh number-one plate on his bike, Scholtz is ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead.
New teammates and fierce competition
This year, Strack Racing has expanded its roster, welcoming Blake Davis from Virginia to the team. Davis will also be riding a Yamaha YZF-R9, sporting the number “22.” The competition within the team is expected to be fierce, as both riders aim for the top spot in what is widely regarded as the most competitive Supersport class in MotoAmerica’s history.

Expert guidance from seasoned professionals
Adding to the excitement, Strack Racing has appointed Xavi Forés as the new crew chief for Blake Davis. Forés, a well-respected figure in the MotoGP and WorldSBK circuits, brings a wealth of experience and technical knowledge to the team. His dual role as a test rider for the Bimota World Superbike team and crew chief for Strack Racing positions him uniquely to mentor Davis. Forés expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter, stating, “I want to help Blake grow as a rider and develop myself as a crew chief.”
Support from seasoned veterans
In addition to Forés, the team will also benefit from the expertise of Kyle Wyman, a veteran MotoAmerica racer. Wyman, who has a rich history in Supersport racing, will assist the team during Forés’ commitments overseas. His experience and insights will be invaluable as Davis and Scholtz navigate the challenges of the season. Wyman commented on Davis’s potential, saying, “He has shown incredible speed in Supersport already, and I expect him to fight for a championship.”
