CANTON, Ga. (Oct. 6, 2026) — WERA Motorcycle Roadracing and the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) will host a Triple Crown for 400/E Superstock machinery at the 54th Annual WERA Grand National Finals, Oct. 22–25, 2026, at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.
The Triple Crown brings together the 400/E Superstock field for a three-race showdown on one of the most technical circuits in North America. Riders will compete across the final two days (Oct. 24–25), with points combined to determine the Triple Crown champion.
400/E Superstock has quickly grown into one of WERA’s largest classes nationwide. Its competitive, accessible machinery makes it the starting point for many of WERA’s newer riders, and it produces tight racing and some of the biggest grids at the Grand National Finals. The Triple Crown puts a spotlight on the class at the season’s biggest event and gives riders who have fought all year a title worthy of the effort.
“The 400/E Superstock class is where so many of our riders get their start, and the Triple Crown gives them a shot at a title on the biggest stage of the season,” said Gabe Harman, CTO, WERA Motorcycle Roadracing. “We’re excited to partner with the AMA to make this happen, and we can’t wait to crown champions at Barber.”
“This brand-new 400/E Superstock Triple Crown featured event is a perfect opportunity for budding racers to make a name for themselves at one of the largest amateur races of the year,” AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant said. “We look forward to working alongside WERA to help create this high-stakes possibility for up-and-coming road racers.”
