McGraw Powersports’ Rider Elena Myers Has Successful Weekend at Barber Motorsports Park

Birmingham, AL – McGraw Powersports’ Superbike rookie, Elena Myers, finishes seventh and eighth in the heat in Sunday’s Race 1 and Race 2. For Myers, this year has been all about learning and making progress towards the front, and this weekend she continued to do just that.

“I am beyond pleased with this past weekend at Barber,” said Myers. “From the first lap of the weekend, I instantly felt like one with the bike which is something I’ve been chasing all year. We overcame a few different obstacles throughout the difficult conditions and came away with some valuable points towards the championship. It’s been a tough year so far, but this weekend really made it all seem worth it. I’m happy with my bike, my team, and my riding so I hope to bring all that to our next race in two weeks time.”

“Elena shrugged off the heat and made big strides on the big bike,” said Crew Chief, Joe Capelli. “More speed and more smiles made Barber our best weekend so far this season, and I’m sure it’s going to keep getting better.”

Elena currently sits sixth in points going into round six at Miller Motorsports Park.

Wheels In Motion/ MotoSport.com/ Meen Yamaha had a stand out weekend at round five of the MotoAmerica inaugural season in Alabama.

Josh Herrin kicked off the weekend recording his first pole position with the Meen Team and his second in his racing career. Teammate Joe Roberts followed up Herrin’s performance capturing his fourth straight pole position of the season.

Supersport race one was an exciting one with plenty of lead changes between Meen Team’s Josh Herrin, Latus Motors Castrol’s Bobby Fong and Yamalube YES Graves Yamaha’s JD Beach. Heading into the last few laps, the battle ultimately came to a showdown between Herrin and Beach, Herrin finishing just .26 seconds behind Beach. Supersport race two was an almost exact replica of Saturday’s race. Herrin, Fong and Beach once again switched spots for the lead, but it was Beach who clinched his second win of the weekend with Herrin crossing the line .5 seconds behind him.

“The extreme heat definitely made an impact this weekend. The bike felt different than it did during qualifying when it was cooler and I was able to do a 1.26.6 rather easily. We have been down more than 10 points in the championship this season and I don’t doubt that we will shorten the gap at Miller and keep on challenging for the championship,” comments Herrin.

Joe Roberts raised the bar once again in the Superstock 600 class in Alabama. The young rising star out of California put in some blistering fast laps on his Wheels In Motion/ MotoSport.com/ Meen Yamaha R6, sweeping both race one and race two, leading most of the laps in both races.

“It was a really good weekend. I like Barber a lot and have done the double here before in my first ever pro race back in 2013. I can’t thank my team enough and all my family and friends who have supported me to get me here. I am looking forward to Miller Motorsports park, which is another one of my favorite tracks,” says Roberts.

“It was very important to leave with solid points this weekend as well as improve on some things the team has been talking about. Qualifying was on the top of that list and I was pleased that we did that, both riders capturing the pole position in their respective classes. Overall I am happy that Roberts extended his points lead and Josh finished on the podium, keeping us in the Supersport championship hunt. I am extremely proud of how well my whole team has been doing this season given the new spec and the intense schedule. Most people don’t realize we are still a true privateer team going against the factory,” states Ameen Sajjadi team owner.

The Mean Team heads to Miller Motorsports park in Utah for the sixth round of the MotoAmerica racing season with a 20 point lead in Superstock 600 and just a 10 point deficit in Supersport 600.

KTM HMC Racing’s Chris Fillmore Earns Fifth and Sixth Place Finishes at Barber Motorsports Park Doubleheader

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – KTM HMC Racing’s Chris Fillmore earned fifth and sixth place finishes, respectively, at the MotoAmerica Superbike doubleheader on Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.

Fillmore qualified in the eleventh place position for the combined Superbike/Superstock 1000 races aboard his KTM 1190 RC8 R, where he started in the same position for both races on Sunday.

In race one, Fillmore got off to a great start, making his way into ninth overall on the opening lap. From there, the Michigan native continued to push his way into the seventh place position, where he ultimately finished fifth in Superbike and seventh overall in race one.

Keeping his eleventh place grid position in race two, Fillmore had his work cut out once again. In a close battle to the very end, Fillmore narrowly finished in ninth overall, taking home sixth place in the Superbike division.

“Considering the bad luck we’ve had at the Barber racetrack in the past, I’m really happy to come away with two solid finishes,” Fillmore said.

The MotoAmerica Series heads to Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah on June 26-28. For more information, please visit www.ktm.com.

Mazziotto, McAllister and Schultz Shine Bright at Round Two of the KTM RC Cup at Barber Motorsports Park

Barber Showcases a Season-High of Thirty-One RC Cup Participants

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Thirty-one participants entered round two of the KTM RC Cup, which took place in conjunction with the 2015 MotoAmerica Series at Barber Motorsports Park. Through a weekend of hard-fought battles, it was 15-year-old Anthony Mazziotto III and 20-year-old Gage McAllister who came away with one victory apiece in the doubleheader weekend in Birmingham, Alabama.

McAllister carried his momentum from the previous round’s 1-1 sweep as he earned pole position with the fastest time in qualifying. With the number one spot, McAllister got off to a great start in race one, followed closely by Mazziotto, Braeden Ortt and Hayden Schultz. The four front-runners pulled a gap on the rest of the field early on, swapping back-and-forth several times for the lead position. Ortt then experienced a crash that would ultimately end his day, leaving a three-way battle for the lead between Schultz, Mazziotto and McAllister.

Meanwhile, the fifth place battle was just as intense between round one’s top qualifier Josh Serne, Alejandro Gutierrez Mejia, Jody Barry and Gabe Miller. The group made time on the leaders as the race progressed, but a multi-rider crash ultimately ended the race four laps early with a red flag signal.

Mazziotto, who took over the lead just in time to cross the finish line, took the race one victory, with Schultz finishing only 0.081 behind for second, and McAllister coming through only 0.302 behind for third.

“I just happened to be in the right position when the red flag came out,” Mazziotto said. “But this win feels really good, especially after last round’s bad luck at Road America.”

Serne held on to capture fourth place in race one, followed by Mejia with a season-best finish of fifth, Jody Barry in sixth, Gabe Miller in seventh, Mason De Keyrel in eighth, Christopher Kosan in ninth and Devin Husband rounded out the top ten.

The excitement continued in race two as the same group of riders engaged in a tight battle for the lead. This time, it was 18-year-old Brandon Altmeyer at the helm, with Mazziotto, McAllister, Schultz and Ortt close in tow.

Altmeyer held the lead for a majority of the race, with an eager group of riders awaiting the opportunity to make a pass. However, Altmeyer lost control just before the white flag came out, forfeiting his chance at the race two victory.

McAllister capitalized on Altmeyer’s misfortune as he assumed the lead position on the final lap. Mazziotto and Schultz filed in to claim the second and third place positions, making two podium appearances in as many races for the weekend.

“It was a bummer to see Brandon [Altmeyer] go out like that, he was riding really well,” McAllister said. “I came into the season expecting to do well but I think the key is just consistency right now and we’re doing that I’m happy to come away with the win.”

With three wins behind him, California’s Gage McAllister leads the championship standings with 91 points total. Indiana’s Hayden Schultz sits in the second place position with 48 points, while Jody Barry sits two points back in third, followed by Anthony Mazziotto III in fourth with 45 points and Canada’s Braeden Ortt rounding out the top five with 42 points total.

The RC Cup Series features riders between the ages of 14 and 22-years-old who hold an AMA Superstock Limited license to participate. All participants race aboard a 2015 KTM RC 390 Cup Racebike, designed as racing competition bikes (not street-legal) and have been prepared by KTM with over 40 PowerParts and other enhancements to increase racing performance.

Round three of the 2015 KTM RC Cup takes place June 26-28 at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. For more information, please visit www.ktmrccup.com.

Solid Performances from Superstock Trio in the Alabama heat.

It appears that this season, the paddock just can’t really catch a break. Two weeks ago, we encountered conditions that would make the Deadliest Catch crews think twice before going outside, and this past weekend we jumped onto the Devil’s Skillet. What’s next? Another morning snow storm followed by 90 degrees in the afternoon? That’s happened at Miller before… but let’s not think about that just yet. We have to review Barber Motorsports Park and Round 5 of the MotoAmerica Series. The quick pace of the season’s schedule means that there is little time for riders and teams to dwell on the previous race. This allows for a more focused approach to the task at hand. For our Supersport Trio of Tomy, Benny and Cam, the focus was solidly on the technical 2.30 mile rolling circuit.

Barber Motorsports Park is a place where a person can easily be distracted by all the art installations, Vintage Museum (loaded with the best collection of vintage two wheeled candy) and fan activities. But this past weekend, all attention was on the Supersport class. This is just about the best racing in the US and our trio is right in the thick of the battles. Would we see a repeat of a two rider podium? Would we see a RoadRace Factory bike leading another race? Would we finally find out who shot JR? Only time would tell. At 9:30 am the time was right for the story to unfold.

First free practice was a time spent immediately getting to speed. This is the only track that rookie Cam Petersen has previous experience at so, for once there wasn’t as steep of a learning curve. The heat was going to be a problem in that it would create a slippery track surface over the course of the weekend. With the help of Penske Racing Suspension and Dunlop Tires, the Supersport crews got right to business. Over the first practice session, all three riders were feeling comfortable and their times had placed them solidly in the top ten with potential for break top five. By the time qualifying session one arrived, the heat had increased and each crew was still searching for the ideal set-up.

Cam and his guys were hunting down ideal shock settings as the exiting T4 perhaps imparts the greatest down force of any corner on any circuit we visit. Tomy was circulating well within the top five and Benny was holding a solid top eight. By the time the session ended, Tomy was P6, Cam was in P7 and Ben was P8. The crews for each rider would take the data and work through the night and prepare for qualifying session two scheduled for first thing in the morning on Saturday. Unlike other rounds this season where the rain or track conditions prevented riders from going faster in the early morning second qualifying session, Barber Motorsports Park provides ideal conditions in the morning so times were definitely going to be coming down. The session was green flagged and our trio took to their tasks of grabbing the best possible grid positions. Speeds were up and times did fall. Over the course of the 40 minute session each of the RoadRace Factory riders lowered their times and when all was concluded, Tomy and Cam had each improved one position to P5 and P6 respectively while Ben had maintained the P8 spot even with an improved time.

The grid was set for the first race under a bright and sunny Alabama day. The heat was still climbing in the afternoon and the humidity was also on it’s way up. Riders on the grid were doing everything possible to keep their core temperatures down as the crews worked to do the same for the bikes. The horns sounded, the grid was cleared of all but the racers and it was now time to see who could survive the conditions and bring their bike home first. When the lights turned off the riders headed towards the downhill turn one in a massive group. Supersport is one of the largest grids in the series and when they launch as a group, its an impressive sight. All three of our riders got off to a good start and by the third lap the groups had settled into a single file line. Tomy was the closest to the leaders in P5 with Cam following on David Anthony’s rear tire in P7 and Benny right on Cam’s back in P8. As the race worn on the lead group, lap by lap, would pull a gap over Tomy and the chasing pack. While Cam would battle with David Anthony, he couldn’t reel him in to make a pass. When the checkered flag was waving, Tomy crossed in a lonely P5, Cam maintained his P7 while Ben kept his P8.

Race two was set to be another 21 lap affair, but after a mishap during the Superbike / Superstock race one, the Sunday afternoon race was shortened to just 18 laps. Something that maybe the overheated riders and crews would appreciate. Feeling confident that their crews had found some extra speed over the night, each of the RRF trio lined up for race two with a lot more enthusiasm for the 18 laps that lay ahead. When the lights went out, it was a nearly identical start with one exception, Cameron had made a heck of a start and was on the factory Yamaha riders tails. Tomy was right there with him and Ben had improved a few positions as well. As the race was nearing midway, Cam was running in 5th entering T5 when he was inadvertently run wide and got dropped back to 13th. Tomy would continue to battle with David Anthony for the 5th position while Ben had a duel with Kyle Wyman all race long. Cam would ride like a man on fire as he fought his way back to 7th and his times were close to the leaders times. At the line, Tomy would cross in P6, Cam grabbed 7th and Ben was nipped by Kyle and would finish in P9.

A hard fought race weekend and now the team is off to reboot and conduct training at American Supercamp at the team’s Race House in Fort Collins. This is a great way to rebuild and reboot after a long season so far. Up Next: Miller Motorsports Park.

Tomy Puerta

4th in Series Points

“Overall was a good weekend for me and my crew. We learned a lot and try so many things on the bike and it gave us a little more ideas where to work in the next rounds.

First race went pretty good with a smooth P5 and consistence lap times.. For Sunday we made a couple changes and the bike was better but I didn’t got the start I needed.. So I had to work my way up and work hard to catch the guys in front of me. I had a really good battle with Anthony and try to pass him at list three times in the last lap and made a little contact with him in the last right hander but I couldn’t make it happen and I finish 6th.

Logan, Evan and all the RoadRace Factory crew did a great job this weekend and I can’t wait for Miller !!

I want to thank Mick, Danny Walker, RoadRace Factory, Cards for Caring, Addict by Bosi Indeportes Antioquia and all the sponsors for make this possible for me.

Also GeoCrash for all the photos and videos from the race weekends so I can keep all my fans and friends back home updated!”

Ben Young

6th in Series Points

“A tough weekend. I wasn’t struggling from the heat it was with rear grip. Especially in race two. That race was shorter but it felt way harder than the longer race one. But overall we made improvements and moved forward and got closer to the front.

Phil and Tom worked their butts off and the big results will come soon”

Cameron Petersen

9th in Series Points

“Barber was a positive weekend for the team and I, although the results were not what we wanted we made a lot of progress and I’m starting to feel really comfortable on the bike.

I got off to a bad start in race one but I felt like I had a good pace at the beginning of the race. As the tires started to drop I felt like I could no longer hold the pace and ended up 7th. Race 2 I had a really good start and was 5th going into turn one, for the first few laps I was able to run the pace of the guys in front of me until JD had a moment coming out of turn two and we lost some time. Then unfortunately I got bumped off the track in turn five and dropped back to 13th and worked my way back to 7th.

Overall I’m happy with the pace I was able to run and look forward to Miller and working with the team there.”

Danny Walker

Team Manager

“We came into this round knowing we had made some positive steps forward with the set-up of our bikes. After freezing our collective rears off at Road America, we kind of welcomed the chance to race under clear sky’s and a dry track. The heat is always an issue here. It plays havoc on suspension and tires. The track gets pretty greasy at times so hunting that ideal set-up is a session by session task.

Our guys had a good, solid weekend. We didn’t get the results we wanted but we again saw that we are capable of running up top. We have to find that little extra something that we are lacking to really put us up front and fighting for wins again. I’m confident we’ll be there next round. Tomy is performing well but he’s had some lonely races lately. It seems after the first few laps we’re losing touch with the lead group. So there’s a mystery to solve there.

Cam was running great in race two. His guys fixed his set-up and it made a big difference. It’s unfortunate that he got bumped, but his climb back from 13th was impressive and it demonstrated his talent and poise. Benny had another solid performance. I think this week we have some work to do with his body position so we’ll be doing some work at the Race House this weekend with American Supercamp.

Overall, I’m still really happy with my guys. They’re inching closer to where I know they can be and I’m confident well be on the podium again soon.”

Double Vision for Jake Gagne in Alabama

First or Last. Zero to Hero. Win it or Bin it. Whatever the catchy phrase you choose to describe Jake’s season so far, you won’t be wrong. Coming off the stellar double win at Road America in conditions that would turn LN2 into a solid (nerds will love that reference), would Jake be able to keep his “First or Last” streak intact? Would the heat and humidity become a factor as he seeks the championship? It’s still too early to tell what’s going to happen but with a 100% finish to win ratio, Jake and the 32 Crew are putting the entire MotoAmerica Paddock on notice. Barber Motorsports Park would be the stage of another brilliant demonstration of their ability to prepare a motorcycle and ride it to perfection.

Round 4 of the series saw Jake pull off the Double Victory in conditions that were less than ideal to put it mildly. This weekend the weather was going to be an issue as well, only this time it would be heat and humidity rather than cold and rain. But Jake loves Barber Motorsports Park and on this track, the Superbikes wouldn’t have such a big advantage as there are no really long straits that they can escape on. Jake would be able to keep them in sight and his hope was to be in a position to take a top three overall spot. You know, just because it would be cool.

Well, that was almost a reality from the get-go. Finally, the 32 Crew was able to get a full compliment of laps in during the three open practice sessions. Jake showed his speed from the first laps as he was circulating within the top 3 overall and even capturing the quickest section times in two of the 5 sections. During free practice one, Jake put his Superstock R1 in P2 overall. It was looking really good for him and his quest to beat Superbikes outright. However, as the weekend went on and practice sessions continued, Jake would find himself out of the top 3 spots overall but maintained his dominance over the Superstock class. It wasn’t as if he had perfect sessions either. Jake had a minor slip exiting the Museum Corner and caused his crew to do some repairs. Nothing Scotty and Danny can’t take care of before qualifying. But, during Saturday’s Superpole Qualifying, Jake’s R1 Superstock would suffer a mechanical failure and on his back-up bike he would be unable to improve his times. Jake ended up qualifying in P6 overall and 2nd in Superstock.

Race One was set to go off on time on Sunday afternoon. It was scheduled to be a 23 lap race under the blue Alabama sky. After the grid was cleared and the riders returned from their sighting lap, it was all business. All eyes were on the lights and when they went out, it was a thunderous symphony as the field headed into T1. Superbike rider Cameron Beaubier cleared out and was miles ahead by the second lap it appeared, but Jake was tucked in line right behind the Superbikes of Roger Hayden and Jake Lewis. Gagne would stalk Lewis for much of the race and it was looking promising that he would be able to keep with him and make a move to hunt down Roger Hayden. Cameron would have an off track excursion leaving Josh Hayes to lead and moving Jake Gagne to P4 overall still right behind Jake Lewis. Within a lap, Gagne had made his move and passed Jake Lewis for P3 overall. Jake was able to pull a small gap as the laps clicked down and suddenly a red flag was waving and the race was stopped. Would there be a restart? Would Jake have to do it all over again?

No! The race was called officially as 15 of the 23 laps had been concluded and Jake was awarded P1 in Superstock and P3 Overall. Remember, there’s nothing in it for him to do so, but it’s Jake, and he just wants to beat everyone else on the track. So mission accomplished and it was on to race two in a few hours time.

Race two was shorted due to the time it took to clear the track from the red flag incident in race one. This actually gave the team and riders more time to cool off and allowed the track temp to drop just a bit. As riders gridded up for race two, the anticipation was palpable. Could Jake pull of another top three overall? We’d soon find out as the lights went off and again the field charged around the track aggressively jockeying for positions. Another great start meant that Jake was on the tail pipe of the Factory Superbikes for the first several laps. But by mid-race distance he was left to struggle with keeping pace with Roger Hayden who was in P3 overall. Jake would find himself unable to close the distance and with the heat wearing on him, he rode a smart race and brought his R1 home in P4 overall with another victory in the Superstock class.

8 Victories in 10 Races. If he finishes a race, it’s in first place. First or last, the Ripper does it again. What will Miller Motorsports Park bring? We’ll find out in a little over a week.

Jake Gagne

1st in Superstock Points

“I was really stoked to get back to Barber especially being on the Superstock 1000 this time around. Practice went well as Scotty and DA had the R1 working really good pretty much straight off the truck. We had a little motor mishap during qualifying but Scotty and DA got a new motor in her overnight and we were feeling solid for race day.

I was really happy with Race 1 because we managed to stay within a couple seconds of the leading Superbikes, and got the Superstock win as well. Race 2 we managed another win and pulled the double. The heat made it a tough couple of races but I rode my butt off every lap and was really pleased with what we pulled off.

Roll on Miller!”

Danny Walker

Team Manager

“I’m kinda running out of things to say about Jake and his crew. I mean it seems this year it’s been Hero to Zero then back to Hero all weekend long, every weekend so far. I’m not complaining at all, it’s just a roller coaster ride.

We knew at tracks like Barber Motorsports Park and Laguna we’d be able to keep touch with the Superbikes and that a top three overall was a possibility. Jake proved it was this weekend. I try to tell him to calm down and we don’t get anything extra for beating Superbikes, but Jake just wants to win so badly he doesn’t care what class is in front of him, he just rings the bike’s neck until the checkers fly.

We had an issue that wasn’t expected with the motor that had us scratching our heads. But Scotty and DA were able to put that behind them and really rebuild Jake’s bike into another powerhouse. They stayed up till 1 am working on the bike and when Jake got on it for warm-ups, it was perfect. Another Double Win and another awesome display by Jake and his guys… What more can I say other than, ‘Wow'”

More, from a press release issued by Chisum/Motul Racing:

Birmingham, AL (June 17, 2015) – Tyler O’Hara rode to a third place finish during race one at Barber Motorsports for round five of the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship this weekend. Multiple mechanical issues plagued O’Hara all weekend starting with an electrical issue from the prior round that continued to cause problems.

After a long night of putting his bike together, the Chisum/Motul Racing crew had O’Hara ready for Sunday’s races. Despite the poor starting position because of a qualifying crash, O’Hara quickly moved towards the front of the pack of the Superstock class and battled in a group of three riders. On lap fifteen, the electrical problem came back to haunt O’Hara again and he was forced to slow and a couple of riders got by him on the following lap. However, the race was stopped due to a red flag and the final results scored O’Hara in third position.

“I can’t say enough about the crew on the Chisum/Motul Racing Team,” said O’Hara. “We had a lot of problems this weekend and they really came through to get the bike to the line. This may have been the toughest race weekend I’ve ever had. And then to be able to get on the podium is incredible and I owe it all to the team and sponsors for helping us out.”

On the parade lap for the second race of the day, O’Hara had to pull in to the pits because of the electrical issue. Although the crew tried to find a resolution to the problem they were unable to get him back on the track before the start of the race.

The Chisum/Motul Racing Team will be competing at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT for round 6 of the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship on June 26-28, 2015. The team would like to thank Motul, Motion Pro, Sidi, Performance Friction Brake Pads, Core Moto, RS Taichi, Barnett Clutches, Moto Liberty, Arai, Troy Lee Designs, K-Tech, Orient Express, Yoshimura R&D, Dynojet, and Shorai Batteries.
