FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEXINGTON, OH — August 4th, 2026

Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course brought ARCH Racing into a different kind of fight this past weekend as the MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan National Championship moved into the final stretch of the season.

After the highs of The Ridge and Laguna Seca, where the team earned its first Super Hooligan victory and continued a run of podium finishes, Mid-Ohio demanded clean execution across two closely contested races.

Corey Alexander and Jeremy McWilliams both put the ARCH Motorcycle 2s-R in competitive positions during combined qualifying, with Alexander qualifying eighth overall and McWilliams 11th overall. In a field where the gaps remained tight throughout the weekend, both riders started within reach of the front group.

Race 1 saw Alexander settle into a strong rhythm and keep pressure on the riders ahead, ultimately bringing the 2s-R home in fourth place. McWilliams also delivered one of his strongest finishes of the season, taking seventh and giving ARCH Racing two bikes inside the top seven.

Sunday’s Race 2 produced another hard-fought result. Alexander again ran near the front of the field and finished fourth for the second time on the weekend. McWilliams backed up Saturday’s result with an eighth-place finish, closing out Mid-Ohio with two complete races and two top-eight results.

Corey AlexanderQ: 8th R1: 4th R2: 4th: – “Mid-Ohio was a solid weekend for us,” said Corey Alexander. “Of course, after the last few rounds, we came in wanting to fight for podiums again, but this class is extremely tight and fourth place in both races still gives us a lot to take away. The 2s-R was competitive, Jeremy had two strong finishes, and the team kept putting us in good positions all weekend. We know where we need to improve between now and COTA.”

Jeremy McWilliamsQ: 11th R1: 7th R2: 8th – “It was a much more complete weekend for us,” said Jeremy McWilliams. “We qualified in a better position, finished both races, and were able to keep moving forward with the bike. Mid-Ohio is a tricky place and the field is very close, so to come away with two solid finishes is a good step. The crew did a great job all weekend, and we have more useful information to carry into the next round.”

For ARCH Racing, Mid-Ohio was not defined by one standout moment, but by two complete race days in a highly competitive field. Across the weekend, Alexander finished fourth twice, McWilliams delivered two top-eight rides, and both ARCH 2s-R machines stayed in the fight from start to finish.

The team now turns its focus to the next and final round of the MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan National Championship at Circuit of The Americas, September 11–13.
