Altus Motorsports Kawasaki rider Alessandro Di Mario, age 14, will start the MotoAmerica Junior Cup races at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta from pole position.
Di Mario was quickest in Qualifying One (Q1) on Friday afternoon, and when overnight rain left the 2.5-mile circuit wet for Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday morning, Di Mario’s lap time of 1:42.231 held up to earn him pole position.
Di Mario will be joined on the front row by Bicknese Racing Kawasaki’s Hayden Bicknese (1:42.543) and Bad Boys Racing Kawasaki’s Avery Dreher (1:42.589).
Orlando Road Racing Academy Kawasaki’s Isaac Woodworth was fastest of the eight riders who ventured out in wet Q2 but will start 16th based on the quicker times from Q1.
