Entering the final round of MotoAmerica's Mission SuperHooligan National Championship (SHNC) at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), dead-locked at 106 total points, Indian Motorcycle Racing's Tyler O'Hara and Jeremy McWilliams endured bar-to-bar action, each pushing to the bitter end to earn the opportunity to hoist the No. 1 plate and win the 2023 SHNC title. For the second consecutive season, it was O'Hara, as he outlasted McWilliams in dramatic fashion, taking both rounds at COTA, and winning five of the season's eight races aboard his Mission® Foods S&S® Indian FTR. "Hats off to my entire S&S-Indian Motorcycle team, as the guys worked hard all season to keep this Indian FTR dialed in for me," said O'Hara. "This FTR is an incredible machine. Power, handling, maneuverability – it's been the highest-performing bike in the class all season, and we're extremely proud to walk away with another title this season."
