“The CHP has supported “Rainey’s Ride To The Races” for the five years we’ve been doing it,” said MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey. “They have supported MotoAmerica and have helped keep our riders safe during our annual fundraising ride on the Monterey Peninsula. They are big fans of the sport, and they are also motorcyclists. We truly appreciate all the support they’ve given Rainey’s Ride, MotoAmerica, and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca over the years, along with their commitment to providing security and safety for our communities. I’m excited to welcome the CHP as Grand Marshal for our MotoAmerica weekend.”

The CHP will be a part of the opening ceremonies on both Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13. On Saturday, CHP motor officers will lead this year’s motorcycling legends on a lap of the 2.2-mile racetrack prior to the National Anthem and the start of Superbike Race One. On Sunday, CHP motor officers will do a lap of the track before the National Anthem and the start of Superbike Race Two.

“It is with immense pride that the CHP serves as the 2025 MotoAmerica Grand Marshal at WeatherTech Raceway,” said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. “We look forward to celebrating this prestigious event alongside the motorsports community and continuing our mission to serve and protect.

“The CHP remains steadfast in upholding its core values through traffic enforcement, collision investigation, community engagement, and outreach,” Duryee added. “As we continue to adapt to the evolving needs of our state, the CHP is committed to fostering safer roads and stronger communities for all Californians.”

The CHP will have two display booths at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca throughout the MotoAmerica weekend where they will showcase CHP motorcycles and automobiles. In addition, the CHP will be actively recruiting individuals to join their ranks. Successful candidates undergo rigorous training at the CHP Academy in West Sacramento, focusing on traffic enforcement, collision investigation, defensive tactics, firearm proficiency, emergency vehicle operations, legal responsibilities, communication skills, and ethical conduct.
