Rispoli Wins Fourth in a Row to Claim Super Hooligan Title 

Four consecutive race wins aboard a Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST motorcycle earned KWR Harley-Davidson rider James Rispoli the 2025 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Presented By Roland Sands Designs and Powered by Harley-Davidson®. After the first six races of the season Rispoli was in fifth place in the series and 55 points behind championship leader Saddlemen Race Development/Harley-Davidson rider Jake Lewis. Then Rispoli went on a hot streak, winning both rounds at Laguna Seca on July 12-13, races Lewis missed after being injured during qualifying. That moved Rispoli to third place in the standings, 22 points behind the new series leader and defending champion, Saddlemen Race Development/Harley-Davidson rider Cory West. Rispoli won the title by dominating the final double-header round, where he topped qualifying around the 15-turn 2.4-mile Mid-Ohio course with a lap of 1:29.575 and won both races. 

“I’ve got to thank the KWR team. They put together a Harley Pan America package that’s so good,” said Rispoli, who completes the season with four race wins and three additional podium finishes. “Nobody was talking about me coming into the weekend, which actually helped me, and kept the pressure low. The championship was on Cory and Jake’s head. I knew this race was going to be tough, but man I’m stoked. I was screaming the whole cool down lap. We put so much work into this. Hats off to my team.” 

The Saturday race was shortened from seven to five laps for a restart after two riders came together on the opening lap. Lewis led Yamaha rider Dominic Doyle and Rispoli off the start. Rispoli passed Doyle for second place on lap two and Lewis and Rispoli opened a 1.5-second gap over the field as they raced for the lead. Rispoli got past on lap 3 and held off Lewis on the closing laps to win by 1.090 seconds with Doyle third. Points leader West qualified fourth but was slowed by a recurring mechanical issue and dropped back to seventh place by the finish. After the Saturday race there was a spread of only six points between the championship contenders, Harley-Davidson riders West (148 points), Lewis (143 points), and Rispoli (142 points). 

Rispoli led off the start in the Sunday season finale of the Super Hooligan series, with West and Lewis giving chase. Lewis and West passed each other twice battling for second right behind Rispoli on laps 3-4-5. On lap 6 West dropped out of the race with a mechanical issue. Lewis set Rispoli up for a pass to take the lead on the final lap but ran wide in the turn and lost ground while recovering. Rispoli crossed the finish line with a 0.758 second lead and the championship. Doyle finished third. 

Rispoli won the 10-round 2025 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Presented By Roland Sands Designs and Powered by Harley-Davidson® with 167 points. Lewis finished second with 163 points, followed by West with 132 points, as Harley-Davidson® Pan America® ST riders swept the series.
