More from a press release issued by Altus Motorsports:
The final round of the 2025 MotoAmerica season took place at New Jersey Motorsports Park. For Altus Motorsports, the weekend was packed with emotion, solid performances, and forward-looking momentum.
- Supersport Recap
Jake Lewis wrapped up the season with two consistent performances on the Yamaha YZF-R9, qualifying 7th and finishing 9th in both Race 1 and Race 2. He finished the 2025 season 8th in the Supersport Championship.
Jaret Nassaney showed strong pace throughout the weekend. Starting from 16th, he made a lightning start in Race 1 and worked his way to a season-best 8th place finish. In Race 2, he was again in the battle for the top 10, but a shredded front tire in the final laps forced him to settle for 14th.
Jaret Nassaney: “I love the New Jersey track and we got the bike working really well this weekend! It’s the best it’s felt all year! P8 in Race 1 after I caught everyone sleeping on the start. Latched on to that front group and just kept chipping away. Race 2, I was battling for a top 10 again but unfortunately with 6 laps to go my front tire shredded and I couldn’t do anything. Brought it home in P14. Super happy to end the year on a high note.”
Torin Collins faced early setbacks but rebounded strong. After qualifying 14th, an incident at the start of Race 1 resulted in a DNF. In Race 2, he regrouped and battled into the top 10, finishing 10th and capping off a consistent rookie season that saw him finish 9th overall in the Supersport Championship.
Torin Collins: “New Jersey isn’t my favorite track, but we came in strong after COTA. Friday’s setup issues slowed us down, and a tricky Race 1 start led to a crash, but Race 2 was a great fight for another top 10. This season’s consistency has been a huge step; every finish inside the top 15 and 9th overall in the championship means a lot. Massive thanks to the whole team for the hard work all year to make this possible.”
Race 1 was the first time Owen Williams raced NJMP in the dry. He started from 23rd and finished 18th.. He had one of his best starts of the season in Race 2, launching from 23rd to 16th on the opening lap through a mix of aggressive riding and well-timed decisions. Although he eventually faded back to finish 19th, it was a promising start.
Owen Williams: “Race 2 at NJMP started off strong — I went from 23rd to 16th in the first lap. Some of it was luck, but I was aggressive and made it work. I couldn’t hold the pace for the full race, but it felt great to be in the mix early. This season was full of challenges, but also full of learning. I may not have brought the results I hoped for, but I always tried to bring a positive outlook and uplifting attitude to the team and the rider lounge. My dad and I both wanted to be part of the team—not just as racers, but as supporters wherever we could help. I really loved the team spirit at Altus, and I hope we were able to add to the camaraderie. I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity and for everyone who supported me this season.”
- Twins Cup Recap
Seth Dahmer, riding the Altus Motorsports Suzuki GSX-8R, had a tough weekend. After qualifying 15th, he crashed in the final turn of Race 1, damaging his primary bike. Thanks to the tireless work of his crew, he was able to line up for Race 2 on a backup machine and finished 17th.
Seth Dahmer: “NJMP was a bit of a struggle. I learned the track for the first time on Friday. There were lots of local fast guys that put me pretty far back. Starting from P15, I knew I had a lot of work to do, so in Race 1 I was really pushing. Ended up crashing in the last turn where the bike hit the wall. I’d like to thank my crew chief Mark and Matt for working late to get another bike ready to go because the other one was wrecked. I did my best with the second bike on Sunday. I’d really like to thank the team and George for their help and the opportunity to ride this year.”
- Looking Ahead
With the season officially in the books, Altus Motorsports is already setting its sights on 2026. On the Monday following the races, Torin Collins and Owen Williams both tested the Yamaha YZF-R9, laying the groundwork for future developments.
Torin Collins: “The R9 was incredible. I felt fast and comfortable right away, and it gave me a lot of confidence. I can’t wait to see what the future holds with this bike—exciting things ahead.”
Owen Williams: “The Yamaha R9 is an awesome machine. Amazing power delivery and great cornering. I felt really confident right away. In just three sessions I was within 1 second of my fastest time of the race weekend.”
“NJMP definitely was like always, full of excitement. For some of our riders their results were great and others it did not go that well. Our team dynamics was amazing this season. Without our Team Manager Boyd Brunner it would not be possible. He has a tremendous amount of racing knowledge and always a winning attitude. Murph, Thibault, Jeremy, William, Jimmy, Chad, and Tyler all gave it a 110% each and every day for our riders. We are blessed to have a great group of guys. If you have not noticed, my daughter Haylee was in the paddock this season helping. She was at almost every round working her tail off. I’m very proud of her to have the drive to want to help our team. My wife Janette, she keeps us all in line and loves being at the track cheering on our riders. Along with being an amazing cook. To all of our sponsors Thank You for helping make this possible for 10yrs. Now it’s time to get ready for 2026!” Said Team Co-Owner George Nassaney.
As always, the focus now shifts to rider development, equipment upgrades, and preparation for an even stronger showing in the upcoming season.

Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim captures his first career Superbike podium finish with his Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SP Fireblade during the final race of the 2025 season.

Real Steel Honda had a successful final event for the 2025 MotoAmerica season at NJMP with Hayden Gillim scoring his first Superbike class podium, JD Beach sweeping the Superbike Cup races and Ian Fraley having his best results of the season in Talent Cup.
Saturday Hayden qualified in 4th while JD ended up 14th on the grid for Superbike. Unfortunately, Hayden had a first lap incident which resulted in a DNF for Race 1 and JD finished in 11th. In Talent cup race 1 Ian had his best finish of the year with 7th place.
On Sunday in Superbike race 2, Hayden finished in 4th with JD moving up to to 9th. For the final race of the year, Superbike race 3, Hayden was able to finish 3rd with a last lap pass and obtain his first superbike class podium of his career. JD was able to finish one position higher with an 8th and was the winner of all 3 superbike cup races for the weekend – JD ended the 2025 superbike cup season with 475 points out of a possible 500 with his only blemish to a perfect season being a DNF in race 1 at Road America.

Hayden Gillim – Rider #69: “This weekend was just about as good as I could have asked for. Besides one mistake on my part, everything seemed to go really smooth on and off track.
All year we have been working on getting the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SP Fireblade up to where it belongs. The last few rounds I’ve had the speed to be with the top five but just haven’t managed to get the starts to do it. This weekend I was finally able to get those starts and be where I needed to be from lap 1.
JD got the team’s first Superbike podium at Mid-Ohio, and I was finally able to back that up with my very first Superbike podium in the Final race of the season. Now that we have done it and have been really consistent hanging in the top 5 in the last few rounds it gives me a lot of confidence looking forward to next year.
Thanks to the whole team and Honda for making all of this happen!”
JD Beach – Rider #95: “It’s crazy to think the season is over already. Every year it seems like it’s over in a blink of an eye.
Ending the season in New Jersey, you never know how the weather will be. But this year we were treated with sunshine pretty much all weekend. The race results weren’t quite how we wanted to finish the season off, but it wasn’t from a lack of trying.
I want to give a big thank you to the whole team, crew, and sponsors. It was a fantastic year and I’m grateful for that.”
Ian Fraley – Rider #10: “This weekend was a good final weekend. I was very excited to race at New Jersey this week and had a lot of fun when I rode before the round. Start off the weekend great and had our best practice of the year so far and ended up carrying the momentum to qualifying and ended up matching my best this year. Then there were mixed conditions on Saturday. I was able to secure my best finishing position of the year with a 7th and backed it up in Sunday’s race with an 8th place. Finishing the weekend with my best combined finishes of the year. I want to say thanks to the whole Real Steel Honda team and fans and to all my supporters this year and we are starting to prepare for the 2026 season and looking to come back better than ever.”
Mark Junge – Technical Director: “I am incredibly proud of Hayden Gillim, JD Beach, and the entire team for their hard work and commitment this season. JD really showcased what the Stock 1000 Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SP Fireblade is capable of, and it has been exciting to watch him push the limits backing up what Hayden accomplished last year with this package.
To get a podium in our first year running the Honda Superbike is a huge win for us. Parts have been slowly trickling in, and we have spent countless hours testing, dialing everything in. To already see results like this speaks volumes about the talent of our riders and the dedication of the whole crew. I could not be prouder”

More from a press release issued by OrangeCat Racing:
After securing first and third in the MotoAmerica’s Stock 1000 Championship standings two weeks ago, OrangeCat Racing decided it wasn’t quite done with MotoAmerica competition in 2025. The team’s rider duo of three-time Stock 1000 Champion Andrew Lee and 2024 Stock 1000 runner-up Jayson Uribe took to the helm of slightly-modified versions of the BMW M 1000 RRs that they campaigned in Stock 1000 for the three-race MotoAmerica Superbike finale Sept. 26-28 at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
The pair performed admirably in the team’s Superbike debut, with Uribe finishing fifth in Sunday’s Race 3 and the two riders combining for three additional top-10 results on NJMP’s 2.25-mile Thunderbolt circuit.
The on-track action kicked off Friday morning with Uribe and Lee finishing sixth- and seventh-fastest in the weekend’s only Superbike practice session. Qualifying 1 took place Friday afternoon and saw Uribe and Lee provisionally qualify sixth and ninth, respectively. When Qualifying 2 came to a close Saturday morning, Lee and Uribe had clinched sixth and seventh place, respectively, on the starting grid for the weekend’s three Superbike races.
In Saturday afternoon’s Race 1, Uribe ran as low as 10th place in the early laps of the race before gradually working his way up the running order to finish in sixth. Lee ran most of the race in eighth place before falling to ninth on Lap 18 of the 20-lap race – which is the position he finished in.
Race 2 on Sunday was a downer for Lee. He came together with another rider and ran off-track on Lap 2, but regathered himself and was able to muster a 12th-place result. Uribe ran in 10th-place for the early laps of the race before making up three positions to finish in seventh.
Later Sunday, Race 3 saw Lee endure some tough luck as he had a technical problem on Lap 5 and had to spend some time in the pits. He finished the race three laps down in 17th place. Uribe, though, put in his best performance of the weekend, as he gradually worked his way up the running order to finish fifth.
Jayson Uribe / No. 36
“Overall, I can’t be more proud of the whole OrangeCat crew for an amazing year. The idea to build these hybrid superbikes came along pretty late, and we made the most of it. Right from the get-go, Andrew and I were competitive. We probably could’ve taken more advantage of the qualifying tire, but I think we did a good job for our first time using it. I was happy with my pace in Races 1 and 2, but my starts were pretty bad. I’m very proud of my result in Race 3. I got a good start and had some great battles with people I’ve looked up to for a long time. I’m incredibly happy to bring home my first top-five in the Superbike Class — and only be 4.3 seconds off the win. The BMW the team gave me worked absolutely fantastic. Riding with my friend and teammate, Andrew Lee, has been a dream come true. We pushed each other beyond what I thought was possible. Whatever happens next year, the OrangeCat team will always have a special place in my heart.”
Andrew Lee / No. 67
“It was a mixed bag on my side of the garage at NJMP. I had really competitive one-lap speed, and my race pace was pretty good too. The results don’t tell the full story of our weekend. Sunday was a bit of a rollercoaster after coming together with another rider and crashing early in Race 2 and dealing with a shifting issue in Race 3. I had to pit when the issues started to make sure nothing was majorly wrong. I can’t thank the OrangeCat Racing Team enough for the opportunity to compete on the Superbike grid and all the support they gave me this year.”
OrangeCat Racing’s promotional and technical partners for the 2025 MotoAmerica season include Motoworks Chicago, Ohlins USA, and alpha Racing.
Jayson Uribe’s personal sponsors for the 2025 MotoAmerica season include Dainese, Arai Helmets, CT Racing, Code 3 Consultations, San Jose BMW, and BSP Racing.
Andrew Lee’s personal sponsors for the 2025 MotoAmerica season include CT Racing, KYT, Luxvoni, Aliv World Wide, KD.51CD, Coolbreeze Heating and Air, JP43 Training and Barrett Racing.

More from a press release issued by Flo4Law:
2025 is in the books – all eyes on the future.
Flo4Law Racing’s 2025 season is over.
The team rounded out their year in New Jersey this past weekend with both riders Ben Smith and Bobby Davies competing in the final round of the MotoAmerica Superbike series.
The weekend began with both riders confident of a strong showing, each putting in six laps in the opening practice session.
Qualifying one on Friday afternoon saw both improve their lap times with Ben and Bobby finishing eighth and nineteenth respectively. Saturday saw another step from both riders ahead of the first of three races – one on Saturday afternoon and two on Sunday.
Race one sadly saw Ben retire from the race early on with a mechanical, whilst Bobby brough it home in seventeenth.
Race two was over before it began in Ben’s case through no fault of his own after he was taken out by another rider. Bobby rode superbly, to finish fourteenth, picking up two championship points for his efforts.
The third and final race of the weekend – and season – brought double delight for the Flo4Law team with both riders finishing inside the points. For Ben it was a valiant effort. The #78 rode well after his earlier crash to finish tenth whilst Bobby notched up his second P14 of the day aboard his Stock 1000 spec #77 Yamaha.
Stay tuned for some exciting news as the squad now looks ahead to 2026 with optimism.
Ben Smith: “NJMP is done and dusted. I’ve said it before, but it was another weekend that could have been so much more. Friday was good. The pace was good, and I felt solid on the bike. The times were so close. I was confident and went faster than I had ever been. I made a good start in race one on Saturday and was running just behind the lead group. Unfortunately, I had to retire with a small technical issue. The guys did a fantastic job to diagnose and fix the issue, and we were all set for Sunday. We had two races. I made an even better start and was running inside the top six but then I had another rider make contact with me and we both went down. It was a weird kind of crash. I got stuck on top his bike as I went down. I did everything I could to be ready to race the final race of the season as did the team who once again repaired the bike ready for lights out. If I am being honest, it was a tough race for me. I never want to make excuses but physically I was struggling to hold on to the bike after about five laps. I needed to finish and so it was a salvage job. We had some real pace but just never got chance to show it. I’ve done my best this year and I will take what I have learned and use it next year. My team mate Bobby did a solid job, and I am so happy for him. I want to thank the Flo4Law team and the core group of people that I have around me. We took a couple of top five finishes and showed glimpses of what we can do. We are on the right and on the 2025 season I will end by saying – that’s a wrap!”
Bobby Davies: “New Jersey was a great way to end the year. I was three seconds a lap faster than last year and showed continued improvement each time I went out on the bike. I finished all three Superbike races and picked up two top fifteen finishes on a Stock 1000 which was pleasing. I am thankful to Flo4Law Racing for allowing me to do the SBK Cup and to finish the season this way. I am looking forward to what the future holds. I want to thank all the team sponsors and to everyone who supports me personally – I appreciate it.”
Flo Moreno – Team Owner: “I couldn’t be prouder of how resilient the Flo4Law Racing team stayed throughout the 2025 MotoAmerica season. We had our share of difficulties, but everyone kept their focus and worked their asses off. Bobby Davies improved with every race, climbing the Stock 1000 grid, while Ben Smith ignored the noise and rode his heart out every lap. Special thanks to the entire Flo4Law Racing team for their hard work and unforgettable memories. A huge thank you to Flex Racing for their continued support, helping a small Texas team stand out in the crowd. The season’s over, but Flo4Law Racing’s story isn’t. We’ve got exciting news to share soon – so stay tuned!”
