Jake Lewis Goes Back-to-Back with Thrilling Win at Road Atlanta

Road Atlanta played host to a dramatic round of the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship, where Jake Lewis put on a masterclass of aggressive riding and racecraft to take his second win in a row, edging out teammate and defending champion Cory West in a last-lap showdown.

A Stacked Grid and Lightning Start

From the drop of the lights, it was clear this was going to be a dogfight. Lewis launched from pole position with Cory West and Cody Wyman hot on his tail. The first few corners were packed with action as the front-runners jostled for position while trying to break away from the chasing pack.

James Rispoli (aka "Spoley") made an early charge from sixth to fourth, proving he had the pace to mix it up with the leaders. But it was Jake Lewis who stayed calm and hammered down early, building a gap in an attempt to escape the draft-heavy battlefield behind him.

Mid-Race Drama: Red Flag Resets the Field

Just as the top five began to settle into a rhythm, disaster struck further down the order with a crash that brought out the red flag, forcing a full restart. While Hunter Dunham and Cory Alexander managed to avoid the chaos, Alexander’s Arch Motorcycle team continued to struggle with reliability issues.

Reset and Reload: Five-Lap Shootout

The race restarted as a five-lap sprint, and again it was Jake Lewis who got the holeshot, sweeping around the outside of West. Rispoli once again charged hard, but mechanical issues would sideline him midway, ending what looked like a promising run.

Meanwhile, Hayden Schulz dropped back with a visible issue, leaving the podium fight to Lewis, West, and Wyman.

Final Lap Fireworks

In the closing laps, West and Lewis pulled away from the field, riding in a league of their own. West briefly snatched the lead with a perfectly timed draft move, but Lewis wasn’t done. On the final lap, he timed his return attack to perfection, used his taller frame to tuck and slingshot past under the bridge, and held off West by a hair at the line.

Podium Finishers and Points Picture

🏆 Jake Lewis – 1st

Just behind, Dominic Doyle put together a solid ride to finish fourth.

With the win, Lewis now sits just four points behind Cory West in the championship standings, tightening the battle at the top. Travis Wyman and Cody Wyman remain close behind, while Rispoli will be looking to bounce back in the next round.

Lewis on the Win:

"Man, this whole crew has worked so hard. Huge shout out to Ricky, Maddie, Eric, Wes at Harley, and everyone else who’s supported me. Bell Helmets, Mission Foods, Motul, Drag Specialties—thank you. I just missed a little something after the red flag, but we pulled it together. Can’t wait for tomorrow."
