The high-speed, high-skill world of sidecar racing returns to the iconic Daytona International Speedway this October as the Barnett National Sidecar Challenge takes the stage during the American Superbike Racing Association (ASRA) Race of Champions.
The event forms part of ASRA’s season-ending Race of Champions weekend, scheduled for October 15–18, 2026, at the World Center of Racing. Sidecar teams will battle on the legendary 3.51-mile infield road course in what promises to be one of the most exciting and unique classes of the weekend.
The action begins on Thursday with the popular Team Hammer Pro Practice & School. This dedicated practice day gives racers and students valuable track time, expert instruction, and the opportunity to dial in their machines and technique ahead of the championship races. The Team Hammer sessions have become a highlight for competitors preparing for the demanding Daytona layout.
Throughout the weekend, fans can expect a full slate of ASRA racing, including sprints, Endurance/Team Challenge events, and the crowning of national champions across multiple classes. The Barnett National Sidecar Challenge will deliver the distinctive thrills of two-person motorcycle racing—combining speed, precision, and seamless rider-passenger teamwork—on one of motorsports’ most historic venues.
