MotoAmerica Off Track with Carruthers and Bice – Details, episodes & analysis

Strack Racing's Mathew Scholtz heads to Circuit of The Americas in Austin Texas, next week with a 25-point lead in the 2024 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship. Left without a ride when the Westby Racing Superbike team folded at the end of last season, Scholtz took a step back to race in the Supersport class. And  it's worked to perfection. The South African, who now calls Georgia home, has won seven races and has stood on the podium in 13 of 14 races. He's also had some battles royale with his rival in the title chase, PJ Jacobsen. We caught up with Scholtz prior to the final two rounds of the title chase to talk about his season, the rivalry with Jacobsen, his past, and his future on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

Minnesotan Justin Miest will make his 2024 Stock 1000 debut next weekend, June 14-15, at his home track of Brainerd International Raceway and going into this podcast we honestly didn't know much more about him than that. We knew he was fifth in the Stock 1000 race at Road America last year, but that was about it. Miest changed all that in this week's Off Track With Carruthers And Bice as we delved into his racing career, his working life and his new company.

Three-time 500cc World Champion and MotoAmerica Wayne Rainey really needs no introduction so we'll jump right into it. The boys were fortunate enough to tie Rainey down for this week's episode of the Off Track With Carruthers And Bice podcast  with a not-so-quick chat in which Rainey talked about his recent trip to England for the Goodwood Festival Of Speed, his ride on his 1992 World Championship-winning Yamaha YZR500, MotoAmerica's growth, and much more. Give it a listen.

If you want to know what's going on in the MotoAmerica paddock, you go see Chuck. Who is fighting with whom? Go see Chuck. Chuck is Chuck Giacchetto, the hyper-active, fast-talking team manager of Westby Racing - one of the premier MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike teams that is in the battle for podium finishes week in and week out. We caught up with Giacchetto for this week's episode of the Off Track With Carruthers And Bice podcast and we turned him loose.  In fact, we barely had to ask any questions.

You just never know who you're gonna run into when you venture to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for a MotoAmerica event. Well, Carruthers and Bice struck oil on move-in day when they not only found three-time World Champion Kenny Roberts Sr. but were able to wrangle him into joining them for a sit-down interview for this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers and Bice. Roberts doesn't mince his words and he had plenty to say about myriad of subjects, including his recent trip to England to ride up the hill at Goodwood with his former rider Wayne Rainey.

Westby Racing's Mathew Scholtz rolls into Road America this weekend trailing Danilo Petrucci by just four points in the MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike Championship. Although he's happy with where he sits in the title chase, Scholtz isn't stoked on the five second-place finishes on his scorecard. He'd like to fix that this weekend. We chatted with Scholtz about the desire to win, racing a Superbike in the MotoAmerica Championship, the last round at VIRginia International Raceway and more in this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.
