FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Austin, TX — September 9th, 2026

ARCH Racing arrives at Circuit of The Americas this weekend for the final round of its 2026 MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan National Championship season.

The Texas finale marks one last opportunity for the team to put the ARCH 2s-R on track this year and close out a season defined by new milestones, continued development, and hard work from the entire program. Since Mid-Ohio, the crew has worked through a series of small refinements to the bike with the goal of arriving at COTA with a package the riders can trust across one of the fastest and most demanding circuits on the calendar.

Michael Gilbert will join ARCH Racing for the season finale, filling in for Corey Alexander as he continues his recovery from his back operation in early August. Gilbert brings recent Laguna Seca experience with the team and will line up alongside Jeremy McWilliams for the final two races of the year.

“COTA is a fitting place to close out the season,” said ARCH Motorcycle co-founder Gard Hollinger. “The team has put a lot into this year with the 2s-R, and the work between Mid-Ohio and now has been focused on the details that matter over a full race weekend. We’re excited to have Michael Gilbert with us in Austin, and the goal is to give both riders a package they can trust and finish the season with a strong showing.”

With high temperatures expected throughout the weekend, COTA’s long straights, heavy braking zones, wide corners, and technical stadium section will add another layer to the final round. The weekend will include practice, qualifying, and two Mission Super Hooligan races as ARCH Racing looks to put its latest updates to work and close out the year on a high note.
