🏁 Jake Lewis Wins Again at The Ridge as the Super Hooligan Field Heats Up
Jake Lewis can’t stop winning. After sweeping the double-header at Road Atlanta, he came into The Ridge with momentum—and walked away with his third consecutive race victory in the Super Hooligan series.
⚡ The Start: Lewis Grabs the Holeshot, Chaos Follows
As the lights went out, Jake Lewis launched hard from the middle of the front row, snatching the holeshot into Turn 1 and never looking back. Pole-sitter Andy DiBrino dropped to third off the start, while the field behind jostled for position in the tight opening corners.
Unfortunately, Connor Dong and Nate Kern both went down early, cutting short what had been a strong weekend for each rider.
💥 Mid-Pack Battles and Mistakes
Cory West, typically a title contender, made an uncharacteristic mistake under braking that allowed DiBrino and James Rispoli to move up. Rispoli, returning to podium form for the first time since Daytona, showed renewed pace, battling DiBrino late into the race and securing a strong second-place finish.
“This is the kind of race we were hoping for—clean, fast, and wide open,” said a trackside commentator. “That podium fight was heating up all race.”
Meanwhile, Cory Alexander brought home a solid sixth-place result for Arch Motorcycle, bouncing back from a tough qualifying session and giving the unique American V-twin entry a promising finish.

🏆 Championship Outlook
Jake Lewis is on a tear—three straight wins and 100 points over the last three rounds. His consistency and clean starts are paying off in a big way, especially as Travis Wyman, who came into The Ridge second in points, finished off the podium and may be dealing with bike issues.
Despite a mistake, Cory West salvaged fourth, keeping himself in the title mix. But the points gap is narrowing quickly, and momentum is firmly in Lewis’s corner.
💬 Rider Reactions:
Jake Lewis:
“That one felt good. I got out early, put in a fast lap on Lap 2, and just focused on keeping it smooth. Feels great to get another win and keep this streak going.”
James Rispoli:
“It’s been a minute since I’ve been back up here. Stoked to put in a good ride and finish
strong. We’ve been working hard for this.”
Andy DiBrino:
“To get back on the box after my crash at Daytona, especially with this Triumph, it feels incredible. It’s not easy out here.”
🛠️ Tech Watch: Triumph & Arch Making Noise
This race marked the first non-Harley podium of the season, with DiBrino’s Triumph stepping up. It also marked a turnaround for Arch Motorcycle, who continue to refine their air-cooled V-twin platform. Cory Alexander’s sixth-place result gives the small but mighty team something to build on.
“This is what the rules were built for—letting creative builds like the Arch compete,” said RSD’s Roland Sands. “We want a grid full of different bikes going bar-to-bar.”
📅 Looking Ahead
The Super Hooligans head to their next round with championship tension building. Can anyone stop Jake Lewis? Will Travis Wyman bounce back? And can DiBrino or Rispoli keep breaking up Harley’s party?

🏁 Cory West Breaks Jake Lewis’s Streak in a Last-Lap Thriller at The Ridge
The streak is over. After four consecutive wins by Jake Lewis, reigning champion Cory West reminded everyone why he wears the #1 plate—snatching a thrilling last-lap victory over James Rispoli at The Ridge in Race 2 of the Mission Super Hooligan Championship.
🔥 Fast Start, Early Drama
Andy DiBrino, on pole with his Triumph, promised a “win or bust” effort—but it was Jake Lewis, starting from the middle of the front row, who once again got the holeshot. The Harleys jumped ahead early, with DiBrino slotting into third behind Lewis and West.
Unfortunately, DiBrino’s day unraveled quickly, crashing out while running in a podium position. It was a tough end for the Triumph rider, who had shown serious pace all weekend but couldn’t convert it into results.
🏍️ Rispoli Charges, Wyman Moves Up
With DiBrino out, the familiar trio of Cory West, Jake Lewis, and James Rispoli formed the front pack. Rispoli, aggressive and composed, made a clean pass on Lewis late in the race, setting up a showdown for the win.
Meanwhile, Cody Wyman was the day’s biggest mover—launching from 10th on the grid to finish inside the top five, showing grit and determination on the KWR Harley.
🥇 Last-Lap Showdown
The final lap delivered fireworks as Cory West dug deep, defending hard from Rispoli’s repeated attacks. As they came down the hill toward the finish, it was West by just 0.03 seconds, edging out Rispoli in the closest finish of the season so far.
“That was a hard-fought win,” said West. “James was coming for me hard, but I wasn’t about to let this one go.”
Jake Lewis, while disappointed to lose his streak, still grabbed a podium finish and valuable championship points. Dominic Doyle followed closely behind in fourth, with Cody Wyman completing the top five.
