Off Track with Carruthers and Bice - #294 Mathew Scholtz

Strack Racing's Mathew Scholtz heads to Circuit of The Americas in Austin Texas, next week with a 25-point lead in the 2024 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship. Left without a ride when the Westby Racing Superbike team folded at the end of last season, Scholtz took a step back to race in the Supersport class. And it's worked to perfection. The South African, who now calls Georgia home, has won seven races and has stood on the podium in 13 of 14 races. He's also had some battles royale with his rival in the title chase, PJ Jacobsen. We caught up with Scholtz prior to the final two rounds of the title chase to talk about his season, the rivalry with Jacobsen, his past, and his future on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

Wait?! The host said, at the beginning, that it was either going to be a good thing or bad thing Scoltz was going down to compete in the it ended up being "a good thing" because he is winning??🤔🤔🤔. Man, HE BETTER BE FUNKING WINNING 😤🤬😤!!!
I almost lost respect for Scoltz for competing in the Supersport class in MotoAmerica. He has way too much talent to be riding in the Supersport class and stealing wins/the championship from upcoming riders that he KNOWS he has more talent than (so he BETTER be winning the races in the Supersport class or he's a true clown 🤡).
I used to be a fan of Scoltz because he is a taller rider, like me (I'm 6'3 and ride a 636), but he lost Kudo points, in my opinion. He should take his top 10-15's, like a man, in the Superbike class instead of trying to boost his ego by going down a class so he can still "be a winner" (naw, thats bogus and its almost as if he should be ashamed of himself for making that move).
