KurveyGirl.com brings you the results of this weekend’s events.
Bobby Fong stunned the field by taking pole position in MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday at Pittsburgh International Race Complex (a.k.a. PittRace), in Wampum, Pennsylvania. Riding his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha YZF-R1, an ex-Fresh N Lean Attack Yamaha, Fong turned a 1:41.674 around the 2.7-mile course. Not only was that time good enough for pole position, it was 0.569 second faster than anyone else.
Fong did his fastest lap while following — and nearly passing — two-time and defending Champion Jake Gagne, who was in the process of doing the second-quickest lap, a 1:42.243, on his Fresh N Lean Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1.
Mathew Scholtz made it an all-Yamaha front row with a 1:42.285 on his Westby Racing machine.
Scholtz bumped Richie Escalante off the front row, and the Mexican rider will start fourth based on the 1:42.340 he did on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
PJ Jacobsen led both of Friday’s Superbike sessions, but the best the New Yorker could do Saturday was a fifth-fastest 1:42.430 on his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR.
Jacobsen will be joined on the second row by his teammate Cameron Beaubier, who did a 1:42.897.
The first of this weekend’s three MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike races is scheduled to start at 3:10 p.m. Eastern Time.
