ARCH Racing delivered a milestone weekend at The Ridge Motorsports Park, taking pole position with a new Super Hooligans class lap record, a Race 1 victory, and a second podium finish in Round 3 of the MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan National Championship.

The weekend opened with changing Pacific Northwest conditions, as rain and a damp racing surface challenged the Super Hooligan field across early sessions. Corey Alexander immediately showed confidence aboard the ARCH Motorcycle 2s-R, running near the front in wet conditions before putting together a standout performance in Q2. Alexander claimed pole position with a 1:44.449, marking a major qualifying breakthrough for ARCH Racing and the 2s-R platform. Teammate Jeremy McWilliams also advanced the program forward, qualifying 10th with a 1:48.169.

Race 1 brought one of the most significant moments yet for ARCH Racing. Starting from pole, Alexander launched the 2s-R into the lead and quickly established the bike as a front-running contender. McWilliams also made a strong start, moving into the podium fight early and giving ARCH two machines inside the lead group before a Lap 3 crash ended his race. McWilliams was able to exit the track under his own power, while Alexander regrouped after taking evasive action and rejoined the battle at the front.

From there, Alexander mounted a determined charge back into contention. In the closing laps, he worked his way into position and made a decisive move to take the lead, bringing the ARCH Motorcycle 2s-R across the line for its first MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan victory. The win marked a landmark result for ARCH Racing and a defining step forward for the air-cooled American-built platform.

“This was a huge weekend for everyone involved with ARCH Racing,” said Corey Alexander. “To put the 2s-R on pole, win Race 1, and come back with another podium on Sunday shows how much progress this team has made. The conditions were tricky, the racing was intense, and nothing came easy, but the crew gave me a bike capable of fighting at the front. To deliver the first win for ARCH in this class is something we’re all incredibly proud of.”

“It was a bit of a wild weekend for me,” said Jeremy McWilliams. “Race 1 started well and we were right in the mix, but unfortunately it ended with a crash. The important thing is that I was okay, and the team did a great job getting us ready again for Sunday. To see Corey get the win and then back it up with another podium was brilliant for the whole ARCH group. The 2s-R keeps moving forward, and weekends like this show what the bike and team are capable of.”

Sunday’s Race 2 backed up Saturday’s breakthrough with another strong performance. Alexander again led early and fought inside a tight lead pack throughout the eight-lap race, ultimately finishing second and securing back-to-back podium results for the team. McWilliams rebounded from Saturday’s crash to finish ninth, adding valuable points, mileage, and feedback to close out the weekend.

For ARCH Racing, The Ridge represented more than a single result. It was a weekend that brought together qualifying speed, race-winning execution, resilience, and continued development of the ARCH Motorcycle 2s-R against one of the most competitive grids in the MotoAmerica paddock.
