About — Super Carl Racing

Carl Soltisz is a MotoAmerica professional road racer and multi-time ASRA/CCS/AMA national champion from Springfield Township, MI. Unlike many pro road racers who started racing at a very young age, Carl didn’t have the opportunity to start racing until the age of 19. Protective parents meant motorcycle racing was off-limits growing up, but he didn’t let that stop him. As soon as he was old enough to set off on his own, he bought an old race bike and dove headfirst into the sport. He quickly made a name for himself at local club racing events, earning an impressive list of accolades and advancing rapidly through the ranks to earn his Pro license in 2014. Affectionately nicknamed Super Carl due to his on-track exploits, he has established himself as a fan favorite and local legend in the Midwest region.

When Carl isn’t busy chasing his own racing dreams, he offers private coaching opportunities for anyone looking to improve their skills on a motorcycle. He is passionate about growing the sport and getting the next generation of motorcycle racers up to speed. Carl is also an accomplished supermoto racer and regularly trains on dirt bikes, ice bikes, and mountain bikes as often as he can.

While honing his racecraft at the track, Carl went to school to further advance his racing career, earning a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and two master’s degrees in engineering/business administration with a marketing specialty. Additionally, he went to work in the motorsports industry, gathering valuable experience as a Marketing Coordinator at Yamaha Motor Corporation, a Powersports Design Engineer at Honda R&D Americas, a Calibration Testing Methodology Supervisor at Chrysler, a Two-Wheel Powersports Senior Calibration Engineer at Bosch, and currently as a Factory Race Engineer for CFMOTO USA.
