Dunlop Motorcycle Tires, the official tire of MotoAmerica since 2015, is excited to announce its first Team Dunlop Road Racing Elite roster for the 2025 season.

Dunlop has expanded its highly successful Team Dunlop Motocross and Flat Track programs in 2025 to include select amateur Road Racers. The goal of the program is to help support and develop up-and-coming amateur road racers that have consciously chosen to dedicate their lives to becoming future stars and champions of the sport.

Like the Team Dunlop Elite motocross and flat track programs, the Team Dunlop Road Race Elite program includes select amateur racers who will receive unique benefits and support on and off the track.

For the inaugural season, Team Dunlop Road Race Elite riders include MotoAmerica Mini Cup champions, Mahdi Salem, Jase Dill, Gabriel Datis and Chase Jazikoff, plus Hank “Danger” Vosberg, international racer Kensei Matsudaira, Connor “Corn Dog” Raymond with mini-bike hotshots Cooper “The Mayor” Jazikoff and Cruise “Shark Bait” Texter.

Team Dunlop was formed 18 years ago to help amateur motocross racers obtain tire support and receive more exposure, so they could chase their goals of becoming professional racers. Today, the Team Dunlop Elite amateur motocross and Flat Track programs have successfully helped many riders make a transition to the professional ranks, including Eli Tomac, Adam Cianciarulo, Chase Sexton, Justin Barcia, Haiden Deegan, Ashley Fiolek, Ryder DiFrancesco, Austin Forkner, Garrett Marchbanks, Aaron Plessinger plus Jess Reynolds, Evan Renshaw and Chase Renshaw to name a few.

Dunlop hopes the new Team Dunlop Road Race Elite program will assist riders in their journey to the professional ranks, just as their motocross and flat track alumni have over the years.

“We are very excited with the challenge of creating a new Team Dunlop Road Race Elite amateur program,” said Cori Maynard, Amateur Road Race Support Manager and Motorsports Logistics Coordinator for Dunlop Motorcycle Tires. “Our amateur motocross and flat track program are one of the most successful programs in the country and we look forward to making the Team Dunlop Road Race program just as prestigious.”
