Dunlop will serve as the title sponsor for the 2025 Loudon Classic, America’s oldest motorcycle road race. This year’s event promises to set new records, with an astonishing $400,000 purse allocated across four classes during the festivities scheduled for June 13-15.
Following the historic milestone of the 100th Classic in 2023, which featured an unprecedented $250,000 purse, and the subsequent $300,000 purse in 2024, the upcoming 102nd Loudon Classic is poised to elevate American road racing to new heights. John Grush, Executive Director of NEMRR, remarked, “We aim to foster growth in our sport by providing an unparalleled platform for both professional and local racers. The record-setting purse draws substantial media interest, allowing us to spotlight our riders and teams while supporting their racing endeavors throughout the season. We take great pride in offering such a valuable opportunity for positive exposure within the sport.”
The highlight of this three-day event will be the four premier races featured on Saturday. The Classic Main event is set to award $285,000, showcasing the NEMRR’s top Middleweight GP class along with Moto America Supersport Gen 2 bikes. The top 32 qualifiers will compete, with the champion of the 2025 Classic receiving a historic $60,000 prize.
In an exciting development for 2025, the Streetfighter class, dedicated to naked twin and three-cylinder motorcycles will complete with a noteworthy $100,000 purse. Additionally, the overall purse for the Classic and Streetfighter classes includes $25,000 and $10,000, respectively, in bonus incentives for local participants.
