PJ Jacobsen earned pole position during MotoAmerica Supersport Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday morning at Ridge Motorsports Park, in Shelton, Washington. Riding his Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Panigale V2 on Dunlop control tires, the Championship point leader lapped the 2.5-mile course in 1:42.524, topping the field of 28 riders and eclipsing the lap record of 1:42.538 set by Mathew Scholtz on Friday.

Scholtz suffered an oil leak on his Strack Racing Yamaha YZF-R6 during Q2, limiting his track time and performance, but the 1:42.538 he did in Qualifying One on Friday held up as second-best.

Tyler Scott qualified third with a time of 1:42.889 on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750.

Qualifiers on the second row include Rahal Ducati Moto w/Code 3 Associates’ Corey Alexander (1:42.984), Jacobsen’s 17-year-old teammate Kayla Yaakov (1:43.009), and Altus Motorsports Suzuki’s Jake Lewis (1:43.031).
