The 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Pro Stock Motorcycle championship comes down to the wire this weekend at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.
Richard Gadson and Gaige Herrera of the Motul-backed RevZilla/Vance & Hines Suzuki team enter the final race weekend positioned 1-2 in the world championship standings, setting up a championship battle between the Vance & Hines teammates.
Defending 2025 champion Richard Gadson leads the points chase (2,579 pts) following victories in Gainesville, Norwalk, and Rockingham. Chasing him is 2024 champion Gaige Herrera in second (2,524 pts), who stays within striking distance (55 points back) after claiming wins in Charlotte, Bristol, and St. Louis. Both riders rely on Vance & Hines-tuned Suzuki Hayabusas protected by high-performance Motul lubricants, operating under severe thermal strain at over 10,000 RPM and 200+ MPH.
In an additional twist, the final round of the recent Las Vegas event, a matchup between Herrera and Gadson, was postponed due to high winds and will be run this weekend in Pomona, making this a doubleheader for the Vance & Hines team. This matchup, scheduled to run before the third round of qualifying this weekend, will impact point standings going into the final race on Sunday.
