MotoAmerica was founded in 2014 and officially began racing in 2015. Its founders included former world champion Wayne Lewis and the Kodiak Entertainmen group. The series took over professional road racing events previously run by Formula USA and AMA Pro Racing, aiming to create a racing brand better suited to modern audience expectations.

Interaction with International Racing

MotoAmerica maintains cooperative relationships with MotoGP and WorldSBK, giving outstanding riders opportunities to be invited to international competitions. Since 2023, MotoAmerica champions have received a Mission King of the Ring reward, allowing them to test MotoGP-level racing motorcycles.
