Speedway World Cup
The USA national speedway team has won the Speedway World Team Cup on five occasions and were a major force in early 1990s, winning 3 out of 4 tournaments. Key riding members of the title wins include Billy Hamill (4 wins), Sam Ermolenko and Greg Hancock (both 3 wins). The cup has eluded them since 1998 and the team has become weaker due to the retirements of Sam Ermolenko and Billy Hamill and a lack of recognised experienced riders in Europe.
