FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hawthorne, CA — July 8th, 2026
ARCH Racing returns to California this weekend for its home round as the MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan National Championship arrives at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.

The team enters the weekend with added momentum after capturing its first-ever race win at The Ridge Motorsports Park, marking a major milestone for the ARCH Racing program and the continued development of the ARCH 2s-R. Now heading into one of the most important events of the season, ARCH Racing will look to carry that progress into its home round at one of America’s most iconic circuits.

This weekend will also see Michael Gilbert join ARCH Racing, filling in for Jeremy McWilliams after his crash at The Ridge left him with an injured hand. McWilliams is expected to return for the next round at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, while Gilbert brings strong MotoAmerica experience and familiarity with the Laguna Seca circuit as he steps into the team for the home event.

For ARCH Motorcycle co-founder Gard Hollinger, the weekend represents both a milestone and a continuation of the program’s larger purpose.

“Laguna Seca is an important place for ARCH, and having our home race line up with the premiere of HOOLIGANS makes this a really meaningful weekend” said Hollinger. “We’re disappointed Jeremy won’t be with us on track after the progress and success he helped deliver at The Ridge, but his health comes first and we’re looking forward to having him back at Mid-Ohio. At the same time, we’re excited to welcome Michael Gilbert into the team for Laguna”
