Yamaha’s 60 Years Of Grand Prix Racing, In The May Issue

Featured In the May 2021 issue of Roadracing World:    

        Yamaha hasn’t won as many Grand Prix races as Honda, but the Hamamatsu manufacturer is arguably the greatest racing brand of them all. The company contested its first Grand Prix in May, 1961, and since then has always competed in GPs, either with factory or privateer bikes, unlike GP racing’s other great marques, Honda and Suzuki. 

        During the last 60 years, Yamaha has anointed some of motorcycling’s greatest World Champions, including Phil Read, Jarno Saarinen, Giacomo Agostini, “King Kenny” Roberts, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Valentino Rossi, and Jorge Lorenzo…”

          — Yamaha’s 60 Years Of Grand Prix Racing

 

            Yamaha started as a musical instrument company, and got into building motorcycles by buying a design from Showa! But a year later, Yamaha had gone Grand Prix racing, and has been competing at the highest level of the sport since. MotoGP Editor Mat Oxley looks at six decades of racing machines from Hamamatsu in the latest issue of Roadracing World!

American Mikey Lou Sanchez Wins CAV Race At Jerez

American Mikey Lou Sanchez, age 11, won a Campeonato De Andalucia De Velocidad (CAV) Talent CIV (Moto5) race May 23 at the Jerez Circuit, in Spain.

Sanchez, who qualified second in the 20-rider field, held the lead for much of the race. Late in the race, Sanchez was shuffled back to third in the lead pack, but the young Texan passed two riders on the final lap to win by 0.586 second.

“Jerez was a fun track to ride, and I was very happy to win the race!” said Sanchez. “I felt like I’ve improved and I feel more confident racing bar-to-bar with other kids. I want to say thank you to Jose Pino for helping me prepare and work on my riding and to all my sponsors for getting me here!

“It was an incredible experience to be at Jerez for the first time and for Mikey to win there!” said Michael Sanchez, Mikey’s father. “I can’t even express the feelings I had. Amazing! Now, we train and get ready for the race at Motorland Aragon in June.”

MotoAmerica: The Final Round Of Press Releases From VIR

Travis Wyman scores top-five, top-10 finishes in Stock 1000, maintains Superbike Cup points lead at MotoAmerica Superbikes at Virginia

Shair-sponsored BMW rider also scores top 10 in Saturday Superbike race, remains in the hunt for two MotoAmerica titles

ALTON, Va. — It wasn’t the weekend Travis Wyman had hoped for at MotoAmerica’s Superbikes at Virginia, but the Shair-sponsored BMW rider left VIRginia International Raceway with fifth-place and seventh-place finishes in the Stock 1000 Class, a top 10 in Superbike and had retained the lead in the Superbike Cup standings.

Though Wyman was fast out of the gate at the May 21-23 event, the lack of experience racing the team’s 2020 BMW S 1000 RR on VIR’s 2.25-mile North Course and mechanical issues curtailed the Las Vegas rider’s pace on Saturday and Sunday.

Wyman had a good start to the weekend, topping the time sheets in Friday’s Stock 1000 practice session. He ended up second in Friday qualifying and finished qualifying on Saturday morning in fifth place.

In Saturday’s Stock 1000 contest, Wyman got a decent start and slotted into fifth place at Turn 1. He finished the race in fifth after battling overheating issues and working his way past a lot of lapped traffic. However, Wyman was unfortunately docked two positions after the race due to a pass he made on a lapped rider under a waving yellow flag. In Saturday’s Superbike race, Wyman started 15th on the grid and gradually worked his way up the running order to 10th place, the second-best finish among the Superbike Cup riders.

Wyman got a good start in Sunday’s Stock 1000 race. After emerging from Turn 1 in fourth place, Wyman found his bike was down on top-end power and had to settle for a lonely fifth-place finish. Despite the mechanical setback, Wyman finished the weekend third in the Stock 1000 standings, just 10 points adrift of the class leader.

Later Sunday, Wyman got another good start in the final Superbike race of the weekend and was in the hunt for the top finish among the Superbike Cup riders. Wyman maintained a consistent pace throughout the 20-lap race and finished 11th overall, as well as third among the Superbike Cup competitors.

Travis Wyman Racing is back in action June 11-13 for the next round of the 2021 MotoAmerica season, which takes place at the historic Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

Travis Wyman / No. 10 

“We came out really strong on Friday, and I was happy being first in Friday practice and second in Friday qualifying. A few other riders caught up to our pace in Saturday qualifying, but that’s also when I first noticed our BMW’s overheating issues. Then we had another setback when we got docked two positions in Saturday’s Stock 1000 race after another rider protested us. The bike felt really good in the Saturday Superbike race, but the horsepower loss came back in a big way in Sunday’s races. Overall, it was a good weekend in that we salvaged some points, but we also missed out on a lot of points here. I’m stoked that the team was able to get the word out to MotoAmerica fans about Shair’s car-sharing service, and it was great to see the droves of fans who came out for this event. We expect to have our engine issues sorted out for Road America, which is a track I love and have won at before.”

Jeremy Cook scores more championship points despite arm troubles, illness at MotoAmerica Superbikes at Virginia

Maryland rider leaves VIRginia International Raceway round 16th in Stock 1000 standings

ALTON, Va. — It was a trying weekend of racing for Jeremy Cook at MotoAmerica’s Superbikes at Virginia, as the BMW rider persevered through an arm injury to score more championship points in MotoAmerica’s Stock 1000 Class.

Cook left the May 21-23 event at VIRginia International Raceway with his second points-paying finish of the 2021 season, a total of four championship points and 16th place in the Stock 1000 standings.

Unlike the first round of the 2021 MotoAmerica season at Road Atlanta, VIR is a track Cook has ample experience racing on. He finished the Stock 1000 Class’ first practice session in 17th place and, later on Friday, finished the class’ first qualifying session in 18th. Qualifying wrapped up Saturday morning with Cook having secured 19th place on the starting grid.

Saturday’s Stock 1000 race was Cook’s bright spot of the weekend. He got a good start and gradually worked his way up the running order. Cook finished Lap 4 of the 14-lap race in 13th and had advanced to 12th by the end of Lap 7. Cook maintained 12th place until the last lap of the race, when he was passed by another rider and had to settle for a 13th place finish.

Though it was Cook’s best finish of the 2021 season to date, he and his BMW motorcycle experienced setbacks on Friday that hampered the team’s efforts to claim its first top-10 of 2021. During Friday practice, oil began misting out of Cook’s motorcycle, ruining two rear tires and curtailing the team’s effort to find an ideal chassis and suspension setup. Cook’s first full on-track session of the weekend was Friday qualifying, during which the hot conditions and the physical nature of the VIR North Course caused an old left forearm injury of Cook’s to reemerge.

On Sunday, Cook came down with a dehydration-like symptoms, the effects of which slowed his pace toward the end of day’s Stock 1000 race. Cook finished that contest in 25th place.

Next up on Jeremy Cook Racing’s schedule is the MotoAmerica Superbikes at Road America round, which takes place June 11-13 at the Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

Jeremy Cook / No. 81 

“Race 1 went pretty good. I had a great start, but the heat got to me for sure during the last six laps. The track was really greasy — especially in Turn 2 — and I’m not really a flat tracker. I like to have the bike in line as much as possible. I had a big wreck here in 2009 and have some not-so-fond memories of this track from it. I was feeling under the weather before Sunday’s race, but toughed it out and made it to the starting grid. I stayed with a pack of riders around me as long as I could early in the race, but they gradually started to pull away from me. I outbroke myself heading into Turn 7 on one lap, got back on track and tried to make up as many positions as I could. I later had a near front-end tuck in Turn 1 as I was trying to make up track position, and after that I started to tire physically. Our goal this weekend was to be in the top 15 and even crack the top 10. There were just a bunch of mistakes all at once, but we’ll take what we learned here to the next round at Road America.”

Traditions Continue for Jackson Blackmon: Two Podium Finishes at VIR

Jackson Blackmon took two second-place podium finishes this past weekend, placing him sixh overall in the point standings for the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Series.

“Action Jackson” is no stranger to the podium at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). Blackmon states, “VIR is one of my favorite tracks and is the first place I stood on the podium in my professional racing career with the help of Quarterley Racing’s On Track Development Team.”

In 2017, Blackmon’s professional debut in the KTM Junior Cup Race earned him second and first place finishes at VIR.

Unable to attend the opening round of the MotoAmerica series at Road Atlanta due to a broken wrist, Blackmon was on a mission to show what he and his Yamaha Motors USA / Finishline Machine Yamaha race bike could do. Qualifying fifth, Blackmon capitalized on the starts and remained in the lead for the majority of both races. The elevated competition in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Series this season gave the fans an exciting show. Always an example of sportsmanship, Jackson congratulated his competitors in the winner’s circle for a clean, competitive race. Blackmon is quick to stop to snap a photo with fans and the chant “Action Jackson” could be heard across the paddock. Blackmon, knows none of this can happen without the support of the fans, his family, and his sponsors.

Blackmon had this to say about the weekend, “Man I’m glad to be back in action! Just six weeks ago I broke my arm and I’m so happy I was able to come back with two second-place finishes my first race back. Dale Quarterley and the whole Bartcon crew were on it all weekend. It was the first weekend on the Yamaha MT-07 and we made perfect setup changes all weekend that resulted in great finishes. I ran my fastest lap of the weekend on the last lap of Race Two, which goes to show we still have improvements to make, but we are making great strides. Big thanks to Yamaha and all of my sponsors for all the support, especially to everyone sticking behind me throughout my injury!”

HONOS HVMC Racing Bounces Back During VIR Race Weekend

Alton, Virginia ( May 26th, 2021 ) – Following a trying first round, the HONOS HVMC Racing team bounces back to capture their first Stock 1000cc and Supersport wins of 2021 at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). After Road Atlanta the team and it’s technical partner Graves Motorsports made strategic changes and found improvements which were capitalized on over the hot weekend at VIR.

Corey Alexander had never ridden a 1000cc machine at VIR prior to Friday’s practice sessions, and had not visited the track since 2015. Despite limited seat time on the HONOS HVMC Graves-Spec Kawasaki ZX-10RR, Corey and the team were able to make adjustments to the ergonomics and electronics that helped him find needed comfort and speed. After qualifying on the front row with a second place starting position, Saturday’s Stock 1000cc race saw Corey break away early but would ultimately struggle with grip and hot track temperatures. This along with lapped traffic and some small mistakes resulted in a strong second place finish.

Corey did his homework for race two on Sunday making it clear he wanted to control the pace and manage lapped traffic to his advantage. After a last lap clash with Jake Lewis Corey came out victorious and stood on top of the podium for the first time this season. Corey stated “After such a rough start to the season I am stoked to walk away from this weekend with solid points and a win. I’m glad we were able to put on a show for all the fans that came out. Four races in the heat wasn’t easy but I’m pleased with what we were able to learn about this 2021 ZX-10RR and I’m really happy with the direction the team is moving. I am looking forward to Road America in two weeks time. Thank you to everyone for all their support and birthday wishes”. Corey’s personal sponsors include Arai Helmets, Alpinestars, Sals Pizza & Pasta, Ikoniqa, Four3 Performance Lab, Gemini, and Prestige Services Group.

Richie Escalante had an exceptional weekend on his HONOS HVMC Graves-Spec Kawasaki ZX-6R in Supersport considering he was racing with a recently broken and plated collarbone, sustained in training just under two weeks prior to the weekend. Hot and greasy conditions made controlling the bike difficult but Richie showed his determination and drive with a strong fourth place finish on Saturday.

Gaining confidence with the strength of his injury, Richie led the field to a dominating win during Sunday’s race two. Richie made an early move to the front and then opened up a gap that he would maintain to finish 7.5 seconds ahead of his competitors. Richie commented “I am very happy in general even though it was a complicated weekend due to the injury I suffered. A win always gives me extra confidence and so now I can’t wait to race my favorite track at Road America. Of course thanks to my team and all of our sponsors”. Richies personal sponsors include Fresh & Lean, HJC Helmets, Vircos Leathers, Alpinestars, and Hidalgo.

The HONOS HVMC Racing team heads to Road America in Eklhart Lake, Wisconsin for round 3 of the MotoAmerica Championship June 11-13th. You can purchase tickets to the event via MotoAmerica.com or in person at the race track.

Gloddy takes lead in the STG Junior Cup Championship points following his first and second place finishes at VIR with Landers Racing

The MotoAmerica Sportbike Track Gear Junior Cup races at VIR this past weekend did a great job of keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they rooted for their favorite racers.

In race one Landers Racing’s, Ben Gloddy, came out on top after a killer start from the third row and a close 12 lap race with 7 other racers all less than a second apart as they crossed the finish line.

Gloddy had this to say: “Once the group caught up to me in race one, I knew it was going to be a close race. As we all exchanged positions a handful of times, I knew I had to come up with a plan and try to execute it at the right time. Fortunately, I was able to position myself perfectly for the race winning draft as we came onto to the straightaway. It was a great race by everyone and a lot of fun.”

In race two, Gloddy’s start got him swallowed up a bit into the pack, but he was able to work himself up to the lead group, again exchanging multiple positions throughout the race. On the final lap, Gloddy was attempting to again set himself up for a solid move but as they came across the finish line, he was second by a mere .049 seconds behind the leader.

Gloddy stated: “Race two was another fun and very close race. Of course, I wanted to be back on that top step, but Cody ran a smart race and I am happy for him. I am really looking forward to getting back to Road America in few weeks. I faced some challenges there last year and I am anxious to conquer those challenges and stay ahead in the points. My Landers Racing Team and sponsors are working hard to give me their best; Stoney, Tarl, Will, Lees Cycle Service, Ohlins USA, KFG Motorsports, CJR Performance, Evol Technology, have put together an amazing motorcycle for me and I will continue to work and train hard and give them my best as well. Thank you to my team, The Big S, Freedom Cycle, American Supercamp, Penguin Racing, REB Graphics/Innovative Motorsports, Atlantic Cruising Yachts, Arai Helmets, Dunlop, Scott Stump, Roche Realty Group, Sportbike Track Gear, Fast by Ferracci, Barnett Clutches and Cables, Tyrant Designs CNC and all of my team and personal sponsors for all of the support, as well as my parents, family, friends, and fans!”

Team owner, Stoney Landers, had this to say: “This weekend was a new challenge for Ben in that he had to learn the track as he had not been there before. Ben struggled a little bit in qualifying and ended up 8th. He shocked everyone and got the start of a lifetime by starting 8th, shooting up and ending up in first going into turn one, I personally had never witnessed that good of a start before. You could tell right away that race was going to be a dog fight. Ben played the race perfectly and was able to get a solid draft to the finish to take the win. In race two, one again it was a crazy back and forth exchange of leaders and again Ben was able to set the draft up really well, but came up a little short and took second by .04. We learned so much in that race and will be able to take that data with us to Road America. Ben now holds a pretty decent lead in the championship, but we will not stop pushing for more.”

World Superbike: Championship Continues Next Weekend At Estoril

World Superbike: Championship Continues Next Weekend At Estoril

No rest for the best: WorldSBK hits Estoril for Round 2 of 2021

After a lengthy off-season, there’s a second round in as many weekends as World Superbike heads to Estoril with plenty of questions pending after a titanic opening round of the year

The 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship kicked off in dramatic style at MotorLand Aragon and there’s no rest as the paddock rumbles onwards to Portugal and the Circuito Estoril. Round 1 featured an array of stories, from tyre choice dilemmas to history-making victories. Estoril returned to the calendar in 2020 and provided huge stories and great parity for manufacturers, with more of the same to come this weekend – it really could be anyone’s round. Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) leads teammate Alex Lowes by 12 points in the standings, but it may all change at a circuit where they struggled at in 2020, whilst Yamaha were on fine form.

Having started the season with two consecutive 1-2s for the first time ever, the Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK duo of Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes lead the field to Estoril. Neither rider achieved a podium at the track in 2020 but their start of season form may well be an indication of the capabilities of the new ZX-10RR. Rea was fourth, fifth and 14th in 2020 after a Superpole crash, whilst Lowes was 6th in Race 1 and crashed in the two remaining races. Can they to continue their momentum, or will the opposition continue to strike back?

One of the strongest manufacturers at Estoril in 2020 was Yamaha, as they took a first-ever podium lockout in the Superpole Race. With the YZF-R1 turning a corner by being competitive at their weakest track – Aragon – it may be more of the same in 2021. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with BRIXX WorldSBK) took a podium at Aragon, whilst also taking two wins at Estoril in 2020 and a career-first pole. Teammate Andrea Locatelli took two top ten results at Aragon during the first round and won in World Supersport in 2020. The second-highest Yamaha in the Championship is Garrett Gerloff (GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team), who is top Independent and heads back to the track where he was on the podium twice in 2020 and took a best finish of second. He may well be another contender for victory, especially after an Aragon podium last weekend.

Scott Redding (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) lies third in the Championship standings and was on good form at the Circuito Estoril in 2020 until his Superpole crash. He recovered for Race 2 and was second and won Race 2 at Aragon last weekend. He aims for back-to-back victories for the first time in his career; teammate Michael Ruben Rinaldi will hope for better weekend at Estoril, after a tricky Aragon gave the Italian just nine points and one points-scoring finish in Race 1 of 2021. He took the Independent title at Estoril in 2020 and aims to rekindle good memories. Leading Ducati’s Independent charge is Chaz Davies (Team GoEleven), winner at Estoril in 2020 and eager to build on two top five finishes at Aragon from round one, despite his Race 2 crash.

One of the hottest headlines coming into the second round of the season is that BMW have visibly made a step forward in performance in race trim. The new M 1000 RR made major gains in a straight line, as it was not only staying with its rivals in a straight line but passing them too. Tom Sykes (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) is fifth in the standings – the first time inside the top five for him since Losail 2018 – and achieved two tenth place finishes in 2020 at Estoril. Michael van der Mark (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) was on the rostrum in the Superpole Race of 2020 at Estoril, whilst he led a race at Aragon in Race 2 and setting a fastest lap in the opening round’s Tissot Superpole Race.

Aiming to turn a corner after a difficult opening three race of the year, Team HRC’s Alvaro Bautista and Leon Haslam will hope to put the Fireblade CBR1000RR-R SP in front-running contention at Estoril. A best of seventh from Bautista in the Superpole Race at Aragon has left the manufacturer hoping for more this weekend, whereas Leon Haslam returns to a place where he took three top eight results last year – a best of fifth in Race 1 having started on the front row in second. With Haslam 12th in the standings and Bautista one place further behind, a turn-around in fortunes is a must this weekend.
Round 2 is already here… get ready for the Estoril Round!

With Gerloff and Davies sixth and eighth in the Independent standings, next best is Jonas Folger (Bonovo MGM Racing) who took a stunning eighth in Race 2 at Aragon, having gambled on slick tyres. The German rider rode a Yamaha at Estoril in 2020 as a wildcard but faces a new challenge on the BMW M 1000 RR. Lucas Mahias (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) is 14th in the standings, with a tenth in Race 2 at Aragon – he was also a race winner in WorldSSP in 2020 at Estoril. Kohta Nozane (GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) was mightily impressive and is one of just seven riders who scored points in all three races so far this year, although Estoril will be a whole new challenge with it being a track he’s never visited. Axel Bassani (Motocorsa Racing), Isaac Viñales (ORELAC Racing VerdNatura) and Christophe Ponsson (Alstare Yamaha) also all scored points from round one.

Still aiming to get their 2021 underway on the points board is Tito Rabat (Barni Racing Team), who failed to finish both full-length races at Aragon; Eugene Laverty (RC Squadra Corse) who couldn’t break into the top 15 and TPR Team Pedercini Racing duo Loris Cresson and Samuele Cavalieri. Leandro Mercado (MIE Racing Honda Team) will be absent from the grid at Estoril, following the team’s announcement to follow an intensive development programme.

Championship Standings (after Race 2, Round 2)

1. Jonathan Rea (GBR) Kawasaki (57 points)

2. Alex Lowes (GBR) Kawasaki (45 points)

3. Scott Redding (GBR) Ducati (40 points)

MotoAmerica: Jesse James Shedden Returning To Mini Cup

Jesse James Shedden returns for the MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul for 2021.

Jesse James Shedden will be returning to compete in the MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul for the 2021 season.  He has secured his spot in all four rounds with the season kicking off at Road America in Wisconsin on June 11 & 12th.  The following rounds will be held in Washington, Pittsburgh, and Alabama.  Like the 2020 season, Jesse James will be participating in two classes aboard his Ohvale GP-0 160cc and GP-0 190cc.

Shedden found that coming from his vast motocross background to road racing the transition was very easy to get up to race pace. This season Shedden will have a new number (99) and new livery to salute all those that serve and protect our country.

The 2021 season is here and it could not take place without the support from Atlas Speed Factory / Fresh N Lean / Eleven Motorsports / Bell Helmets / TechSpec / Suspension Matters / Mithos USA / Dunlop / ASV Inventions / Fast Bike Industries / Yoshimura / Alpinestars / VNM Sport / Cycle Gear / Galfer USA / Maxima USA / Allsport Dynamics / Anthony’s Leatherworks / Martino Design.

American Flat Track: Series Headed To Chicago Half-Mile May 29

American Flat Track: Series Headed To Chicago Half-Mile May 29

Progressive AFT Bares Down on Chicago Half-Mile

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 25, 2021) – The Progressive American Flat Track paddock is well accustomed to Memorial Day weekends in Illinois, but it’ll have a different flavor in 2021 with the long-awaited return of the Chicago Half-Mile on Saturday, May 29.

Now that the Springfield Mile owns a Labor Day weekend doubleheader, the traditional late May date moves a couple hours north to the Dirt Oval at Route 66 Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, marking the first of five rounds in the state this season.

It also marks the series’ first stop at the wide and fast “Dirty O” Half-Mile at the mega Chicagoland Speedway complex in nearly 14 years. Despite the extended hiatus, there remains a realistic opportunity for a rider to extend a win streak at the venue considering that Mission SuperTwins presented by S&S Cycle championship contender Jared Mees (No. 9 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) was the victor when the Grand National Championship last raced in Joliet back in 2007.

Last Saturday’s rainout in Fort Worth provided only limited intel, but in the two Mission SuperTwins sessions that were completed, Mees was firmly back amongst the frontrunners after a knee injury severely hampered his ability to compete in Atlanta. The multi-time series king will arrive at the Chicago Half-Mile another week removed from his training accident and more closely resembling the Jared Mees the world saw dominate the season’s most recent Half-Mile Main Event at Volusia Speedway Park back in March.

Double defending Grand National Champion Briar Bauman (No. 1 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) was even faster than Mees at Texas Motor Speedway, topping both sessions in the abbreviated event. It’s no secret that Bauman is champing at the bit as he looks to return to the top of the podium as soon as humanly possible. While he’s strung together three seconds, three thirds, and two fourths in his last eight races, he’s uncharacteristically gone winless over that stretch.

In Bauman’s defense, he was busy (successfully) defending a points lead late last season and did exactly what he needed to in order to win his second consecutive Mission SuperTwins crown. But now he likely needs to start putting together some wins in his effort to push for a third.

The Mission Roof Systems squad of Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750), Jarod Vanderkooi (No. 20 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750), and Brandon Price (No. 92 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750) missed out on an opportunity to defend their sponsors’ home turf last weekend. All three will be well primed to carry that pent-up motivation into Chicagoland.

Over the past season and change, Sammy Halbert (No. 69 Coolbeth-Nila Racing Indian FTR750) has reestablished himself as a week-in, week-out contender, which means he’ll merit watching again in Joliet. Meanwhile, points leader JD Beach (No. 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) is attempting to do precisely the same thing, and his efforts will continue to be closely tracked as well.

 

AFT Singles

Even with just three rounds in the books, the 2021 AFT Singles season has already taken shape in fan-pleasing fashion with big names Shayna Texter-Bauman (No. 52 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-FFE) and Dallas Daniels (No. 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) splitting the wins and locking down two of the top three spots in the early-season championship rankings.

There’s no reason to think they both can’t be among the lead pack again at Dirt Oval at Route 66 Speedway. But there’s also no reason to think there won’t be several others vying for the checkered flag as well.

Mikey Rush (No. 15 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) trails only teammate Daniels in the points and stands as the only rider in the class to land on the box at every race this season. 2020 championship runner-up Max Whale (No. 18 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-FFE) has translated his late 2020 flurry into a strong 2021 opening, having finished fourth or better in six of his last seven races. And the decorated and determined Henry Wiles (No. 17 American Honda/Progressive Insurance CRF450R) seems primed to explode with a huge weekend at any moment.

There’s also the banner class of rookies and sophomore riders who will be looking to knock the aforementioned AFT Singles stalwarts a few pegs down the order whenever possible.

 

AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines

AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines points leader Cory Texter (No. 65 G&G Racing/Roof Systems Yamaha MT-07) is among the few riders who’ve been around long enough to have raced at the Dirt Oval at Route 66 Speedway when Progressive AFT last visited the venue in 2007.

After so many years, it seems doubtful that prior experience will provide much of an upper hand this weekend. However, what could are his trademark consistency of performance and his ability to continually improve as the day goes on. Texter has been on the podium 18 times since the start of his championship-winning season in 2019 and that sort of continual excellence makes him a serious threat to reclaim the title in 2021.

To do so, however, he’ll have to fend off a trio of ex premier-class runners in Chad Cose (No. 49 Voodoo Ranger/Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R), Dan Bromley (No. 62 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07), and Dalton Gauthier (No. 79 D&D Cycles/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson XG750R) who are currently breathing down his neck in the championship standings.

That doesn’t even account for last year’s third- and fourth-ranked riders, Ben Lowe (No. 25 Mission Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R) and Ryan Varnes (No. 68 RVR/Rausch Fuel Kawasaki Ninja 650), nor 2020 race winner Johnny Lewis (No. 10 Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield Twins FT).

 

The Chicago Half-Mile also represents the 2021 premiere of Royal Enfield’s extremely popular BUILD. TRAIN. RACE. program, which serves to highlight and celebrate women and motorcycle culture. Phase I saw the competitors each build their own custom Royal Enfield INT 650 Twin flat track racers. Phase II then saw them hone their flat track skills in  training programs guided under the watchful eye of expert racers. And now it’s time for Phase III — the races.

Spectator safety remains the top priority and Progressive AFT has worked closely with local health and government officials toward those ends. For more on the specific precautions being undertaken, please consult the Progressive AFT Events Health & Safety FAQ.

NEMRR: Doucette, Greenwood, McHugh, Wood Win Races

NEMRR: Doucette, Greenwood, McHugh, Wood Win Races

NEMRR by Mayhew Tool Race #2 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Summer came early to Round #2 of the NEMRR series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  In stark contrast to the season opener 3 weeks ago, riders were greeted with 80+ degree temperatures and bright sunshine.  While there were some notable absences from that paddock as several top NEMRR regulars were competing at the MotoAmerica round at Virginia International Raceway (with Ben Gloddy and Teagg Hobbs scoring wins).  There was also a welcome inflow of several old faces who had taken some time off from racing as well.  NEMRR was also excited to introduce series title partner Mayhew Tools for the 2021 season.  Mayhew produces professional grade American-made tools and supports grass roots racing across several disciplines of motorcycle and automotive competition.

In the Saturday Michelin/Motorace $1500 Dash for Cash (Middleweight GP) the father and son team of Scott and Sam Greenwood were never more than a few bike lengths apart.  The young gun grabbed the holeshot and held off his father for much of the race, but as the race approached the halfway point Scott found an opening after a small mistake from Sam and moved into the lead.  The duo continued to circulate in tandem until Paul Duval had a shock failure that deposited fluid on the front wheel of Rick Doucette, who fell and brought out the red flag.  Since the race had completed more than the requisite 50% of the laps, the results were declared final.

In the Plaistow Powersports Amateur Middleweight GP division the GSX-R600 of Kevin Custer got out to great start and was chased by a swarm of Yamaha R6’s, led by Paul Hosue and Joe Ammendolia.  Custer put down solid laps at the start of the event to stretch out several bike lengths.  Hosue separated himself from Ammendolia and set his best lap of the race as the event passed the halfway point, but ended up falling short of the win at the end of the event.

Another rider putting in some noteworthy performances was 15-year-old Brianna McHugh, who after finishing 2nd in the Firsttrax GT500 class on her Kawasaki Ninja 400 proceeded to pull of a pair of wins in the SportbikeTrackGear.com 500 Supersport and 500 Superbike classes.  The rising star ran impressive times in the low 1:19 range – the likes of which have only been done by current NEMRR MotoAmerica riders Ben Gloddy and Elijah Block.  Things are looking bright for this young lady, who hopes to make her MotoAmerica debut later this season.

As a prelude to the coming Loudon Classic in June, Shane Narbonne came out and showed his typical impressive speed with wins in the GTO and Antham Motorsports Heavyweight Supersport classes.  There promises to be lots of competition in this years Mayhew Tools Loudon Classic as riders from the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Atlantic regions come to NHMS from June 18-20 for a three-day celebration of racing in an exciting twin sprint format.

Featured In the May 2021 issue of Roadracing World:    

        Yamaha hasn’t won as many Grand Prix races as Honda, but the Hamamatsu manufacturer is arguably the greatest racing brand of them all. The company contested its first Grand Prix in May, 1961, and since then has always competed in GPs, either with factory or privateer bikes, unlike GP racing’s other great marques, Honda and Suzuki. 

        During the last 60 years, Yamaha has anointed some of motorcycling’s greatest World Champions, including Phil Read, Jarno Saarinen, Giacomo Agostini, “King Kenny” Roberts, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Valentino Rossi, and Jorge Lorenzo…”

American Mikey Lou Sanchez, age 11, won a Campeonato De Andalucia De Velocidad (CAV) Talent CIV (Moto5) race May 23 at the Jerez Circuit, in Spain.

Sanchez, who qualified second in the 20-rider field, held the lead for much of the race. Late in the race, Sanchez was shuffled back to third in the lead pack, but the young Texan passed two riders on the final lap to win by 0.586 second.

“Jerez was a fun track to ride, and I was very happy to win the race!” said Sanchez. “I felt like I’ve improved and I feel more confident racing bar-to-bar with other kids. I want to say thank you to Jose Pino for helping me prepare and work on my riding and to all my sponsors for getting me here!

MotoAmerica: The Final Round Of Press Releases From VIR

Travis Wyman scores top-five, top-10 finishes in Stock 1000, maintains Superbike Cup points lead at MotoAmerica Superbikes at Virginia

Shair-sponsored BMW rider also scores top 10 in Saturday Superbike race, remains in the hunt for two MotoAmerica titles

ALTON, Va. — It wasn’t the weekend Travis Wyman had hoped for at MotoAmerica’s Superbikes at Virginia, but the Shair-sponsored BMW rider left VIRginia International Raceway with fifth-place and seventh-place finishes in the Stock 1000 Class, a top 10 in Superbike and had retained the lead in the Superbike Cup standings.

Though Wyman was fast out of the gate at the May 21-23 event, the lack of experience racing the team’s 2020 BMW S 1000 RR on VIR’s 2.25-mile North Course and mechanical issues curtailed the Las Vegas rider’s pace on Saturday and Sunday.

Wyman had a good start to the weekend, topping the time sheets in Friday’s Stock 1000 practice session. He ended up second in Friday qualifying and finished qualifying on Saturday morning in fifth place.

In Saturday’s Stock 1000 contest, Wyman got a decent start and slotted into fifth place at Turn 1. He finished the race in fifth after battling overheating issues and working his way past a lot of lapped traffic. However, Wyman was unfortunately docked two positions after the race due to a pass he made on a lapped rider under a waving yellow flag. In Saturday’s Superbike race, Wyman started 15th on the grid and gradually worked his way up the running order to 10th place, the second-best finish among the Superbike Cup riders.

Wyman got a good start in Sunday’s Stock 1000 race. After emerging from Turn 1 in fourth place, Wyman found his bike was down on top-end power and had to settle for a lonely fifth-place finish. Despite the mechanical setback, Wyman finished the weekend third in the Stock 1000 standings, just 10 points adrift of the class leader.

Later Sunday, Wyman got another good start in the final Superbike race of the weekend and was in the hunt for the top finish among the Superbike Cup riders. Wyman maintained a consistent pace throughout the 20-lap race and finished 11th overall, as well as third among the Superbike Cup competitors.

Travis Wyman Racing is back in action June 11-13 for the next round of the 2021 MotoAmerica season, which takes place at the historic Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

Travis Wyman / No. 10 

“We came out really strong on Friday, and I was happy being first in Friday practice and second in Friday qualifying. A few other riders caught up to our pace in Saturday qualifying, but that’s also when I first noticed our BMW’s overheating issues. Then we had another setback when we got docked two positions in Saturday’s Stock 1000 race after another rider protested us. The bike felt really good in the Saturday Superbike race, but the horsepower loss came back in a big way in Sunday’s races. Overall, it was a good weekend in that we salvaged some points, but we also missed out on a lot of points here. I’m stoked that the team was able to get the word out to MotoAmerica fans about Shair’s car-sharing service, and it was great to see the droves of fans who came out for this event. We expect to have our engine issues sorted out for Road America, which is a track I love and have won at before.”

Jeremy Cook scores more championship points despite arm troubles, illness at MotoAmerica Superbikes at Virginia

Maryland rider leaves VIRginia International Raceway round 16th in Stock 1000 standings

ALTON, Va. — It was a trying weekend of racing for Jeremy Cook at MotoAmerica’s Superbikes at Virginia, as the BMW rider persevered through an arm injury to score more championship points in MotoAmerica’s Stock 1000 Class.

Cook left the May 21-23 event at VIRginia International Raceway with his second points-paying finish of the 2021 season, a total of four championship points and 16th place in the Stock 1000 standings.

Unlike the first round of the 2021 MotoAmerica season at Road Atlanta, VIR is a track Cook has ample experience racing on. He finished the Stock 1000 Class’ first practice session in 17th place and, later on Friday, finished the class’ first qualifying session in 18th. Qualifying wrapped up Saturday morning with Cook having secured 19th place on the starting grid.

Saturday’s Stock 1000 race was Cook’s bright spot of the weekend. He got a good start and gradually worked his way up the running order. Cook finished Lap 4 of the 14-lap race in 13th and had advanced to 12th by the end of Lap 7. Cook maintained 12th place until the last lap of the race, when he was passed by another rider and had to settle for a 13th place finish.

Though it was Cook’s best finish of the 2021 season to date, he and his BMW motorcycle experienced setbacks on Friday that hampered the team’s efforts to claim its first top-10 of 2021. During Friday practice, oil began misting out of Cook’s motorcycle, ruining two rear tires and curtailing the team’s effort to find an ideal chassis and suspension setup. Cook’s first full on-track session of the weekend was Friday qualifying, during which the hot conditions and the physical nature of the VIR North Course caused an old left forearm injury of Cook’s to reemerge.

On Sunday, Cook came down with a dehydration-like symptoms, the effects of which slowed his pace toward the end of day’s Stock 1000 race. Cook finished that contest in 25th place.

Next up on Jeremy Cook Racing’s schedule is the MotoAmerica Superbikes at Road America round, which takes place June 11-13 at the Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

Jeremy Cook / No. 81 

“Race 1 went pretty good. I had a great start, but the heat got to me for sure during the last six laps. The track was really greasy — especially in Turn 2 — and I’m not really a flat tracker. I like to have the bike in line as much as possible. I had a big wreck here in 2009 and have some not-so-fond memories of this track from it. I was feeling under the weather before Sunday’s race, but toughed it out and made it to the starting grid. I stayed with a pack of riders around me as long as I could early in the race, but they gradually started to pull away from me. I outbroke myself heading into Turn 7 on one lap, got back on track and tried to make up as many positions as I could. I later had a near front-end tuck in Turn 1 as I was trying to make up track position, and after that I started to tire physically. Our goal this weekend was to be in the top 15 and even crack the top 10. There were just a bunch of mistakes all at once, but we’ll take what we learned here to the next round at Road America.”

Traditions Continue for Jackson Blackmon: Two Podium Finishes at VIR

Jackson Blackmon took two second-place podium finishes this past weekend, placing him sixh overall in the point standings for the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Series.

“Action Jackson” is no stranger to the podium at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). Blackmon states, “VIR is one of my favorite tracks and is the first place I stood on the podium in my professional racing career with the help of Quarterley Racing’s On Track Development Team.”

In 2017, Blackmon’s professional debut in the KTM Junior Cup Race earned him second and first place finishes at VIR.

Unable to attend the opening round of the MotoAmerica series at Road Atlanta due to a broken wrist, Blackmon was on a mission to show what he and his Yamaha Motors USA / Finishline Machine Yamaha race bike could do. Qualifying fifth, Blackmon capitalized on the starts and remained in the lead for the majority of both races. The elevated competition in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Series this season gave the fans an exciting show. Always an example of sportsmanship, Jackson congratulated his competitors in the winner’s circle for a clean, competitive race. Blackmon is quick to stop to snap a photo with fans and the chant “Action Jackson” could be heard across the paddock. Blackmon, knows none of this can happen without the support of the fans, his family, and his sponsors.

Blackmon had this to say about the weekend, “Man I’m glad to be back in action! Just six weeks ago I broke my arm and I’m so happy I was able to come back with two second-place finishes my first race back. Dale Quarterley and the whole Bartcon crew were on it all weekend. It was the first weekend on the Yamaha MT-07 and we made perfect setup changes all weekend that resulted in great finishes. I ran my fastest lap of the weekend on the last lap of Race Two, which goes to show we still have improvements to make, but we are making great strides. Big thanks to Yamaha and all of my sponsors for all the support, especially to everyone sticking behind me throughout my injury!”

HONOS HVMC Racing Bounces Back During VIR Race Weekend

Alton, Virginia ( May 26th, 2021 ) – Following a trying first round, the HONOS HVMC Racing team bounces back to capture their first Stock 1000cc and Supersport wins of 2021 at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). After Road Atlanta the team and it’s technical partner Graves Motorsports made strategic changes and found improvements which were capitalized on over the hot weekend at VIR.

Corey Alexander had never ridden a 1000cc machine at VIR prior to Friday’s practice sessions, and had not visited the track since 2015. Despite limited seat time on the HONOS HVMC Graves-Spec Kawasaki ZX-10RR, Corey and the team were able to make adjustments to the ergonomics and electronics that helped him find needed comfort and speed. After qualifying on the front row with a second place starting position, Saturday’s Stock 1000cc race saw Corey break away early but would ultimately struggle with grip and hot track temperatures. This along with lapped traffic and some small mistakes resulted in a strong second place finish.

Corey did his homework for race two on Sunday making it clear he wanted to control the pace and manage lapped traffic to his advantage. After a last lap clash with Jake Lewis Corey came out victorious and stood on top of the podium for the first time this season. Corey stated “After such a rough start to the season I am stoked to walk away from this weekend with solid points and a win. I’m glad we were able to put on a show for all the fans that came out. Four races in the heat wasn’t easy but I’m pleased with what we were able to learn about this 2021 ZX-10RR and I’m really happy with the direction the team is moving. I am looking forward to Road America in two weeks time. Thank you to everyone for all their support and birthday wishes”. Corey’s personal sponsors include Arai Helmets, Alpinestars, Sals Pizza & Pasta, Ikoniqa, Four3 Performance Lab, Gemini, and Prestige Services Group.

Richie Escalante had an exceptional weekend on his HONOS HVMC Graves-Spec Kawasaki ZX-6R in Supersport considering he was racing with a recently broken and plated collarbone, sustained in training just under two weeks prior to the weekend. Hot and greasy conditions made controlling the bike difficult but Richie showed his determination and drive with a strong fourth place finish on Saturday.

Gaining confidence with the strength of his injury, Richie led the field to a dominating win during Sunday’s race two. Richie made an early move to the front and then opened up a gap that he would maintain to finish 7.5 seconds ahead of his competitors. Richie commented “I am very happy in general even though it was a complicated weekend due to the injury I suffered. A win always gives me extra confidence and so now I can’t wait to race my favorite track at Road America. Of course thanks to my team and all of our sponsors”. Richies personal sponsors include Fresh & Lean, HJC Helmets, Vircos Leathers, Alpinestars, and Hidalgo.

The HONOS HVMC Racing team heads to Road America in Eklhart Lake, Wisconsin for round 3 of the MotoAmerica Championship June 11-13th. You can purchase tickets to the event via MotoAmerica.com or in person at the race track.

Gloddy takes lead in the STG Junior Cup Championship points following his first and second place finishes at VIR with Landers Racing

The MotoAmerica Sportbike Track Gear Junior Cup races at VIR this past weekend did a great job of keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they rooted for their favorite racers.

In race one Landers Racing’s, Ben Gloddy, came out on top after a killer start from the third row and a close 12 lap race with 7 other racers all less than a second apart as they crossed the finish line.

Gloddy had this to say: “Once the group caught up to me in race one, I knew it was going to be a close race. As we all exchanged positions a handful of times, I knew I had to come up with a plan and try to execute it at the right time. Fortunately, I was able to position myself perfectly for the race winning draft as we came onto to the straightaway. It was a great race by everyone and a lot of fun.”

In race two, Gloddy’s start got him swallowed up a bit into the pack, but he was able to work himself up to the lead group, again exchanging multiple positions throughout the race. On the final lap, Gloddy was attempting to again set himself up for a solid move but as they came across the finish line, he was second by a mere .049 seconds behind the leader.

Gloddy stated: “Race two was another fun and very close race. Of course, I wanted to be back on that top step, but Cody ran a smart race and I am happy for him. I am really looking forward to getting back to Road America in few weeks. I faced some challenges there last year and I am anxious to conquer those challenges and stay ahead in the points. My Landers Racing Team and sponsors are working hard to give me their best; Stoney, Tarl, Will, Lees Cycle Service, Ohlins USA, KFG Motorsports, CJR Performance, Evol Technology, have put together an amazing motorcycle for me and I will continue to work and train hard and give them my best as well. Thank you to my team, The Big S, Freedom Cycle, American Supercamp, Penguin Racing, REB Graphics/Innovative Motorsports, Atlantic Cruising Yachts, Arai Helmets, Dunlop, Scott Stump, Roche Realty Group, Sportbike Track Gear, Fast by Ferracci, Barnett Clutches and Cables, Tyrant Designs CNC and all of my team and personal sponsors for all of the support, as well as my parents, family, friends, and fans!”

Team owner, Stoney Landers, had this to say: “This weekend was a new challenge for Ben in that he had to learn the track as he had not been there before. Ben struggled a little bit in qualifying and ended up 8th. He shocked everyone and got the start of a lifetime by starting 8th, shooting up and ending up in first going into turn one, I personally had never witnessed that good of a start before. You could tell right away that race was going to be a dog fight. Ben played the race perfectly and was able to get a solid draft to the finish to take the win. In race two, one again it was a crazy back and forth exchange of leaders and again Ben was able to set the draft up really well, but came up a little short and took second by .04. We learned so much in that race and will be able to take that data with us to Road America. Ben now holds a pretty decent lead in the championship, but we will not stop pushing for more.”

World Superbike: Championship Continues Next Weekend At Estoril

No rest for the best: WorldSBK hits Estoril for Round 2 of 2021

After a lengthy off-season, there’s a second round in as many weekends as World Superbike heads to Estoril with plenty of questions pending after a titanic opening round of the year

The 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship kicked off in dramatic style at MotorLand Aragon and there’s no rest as the paddock rumbles onwards to Portugal and the Circuito Estoril. Round 1 featured an array of stories, from tyre choice dilemmas to history-making victories. Estoril returned to the calendar in 2020 and provided huge stories and great parity for manufacturers, with more of the same to come this weekend – it really could be anyone’s round. Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) leads teammate Alex Lowes by 12 points in the standings, but it may all change at a circuit where they struggled at in 2020, whilst Yamaha were on fine form.

Having started the season with two consecutive 1-2s for the first time ever, the Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK duo of Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes lead the field to Estoril. Neither rider achieved a podium at the track in 2020 but their start of season form may well be an indication of the capabilities of the new ZX-10RR. Rea was fourth, fifth and 14th in 2020 after a Superpole crash, whilst Lowes was 6th in Race 1 and crashed in the two remaining races. Can they to continue their momentum, or will the opposition continue to strike back?

One of the strongest manufacturers at Estoril in 2020 was Yamaha, as they took a first-ever podium lockout in the Superpole Race. With the YZF-R1 turning a corner by being competitive at their weakest track – Aragon – it may be more of the same in 2021. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with BRIXX WorldSBK) took a podium at Aragon, whilst also taking two wins at Estoril in 2020 and a career-first pole. Teammate Andrea Locatelli took two top ten results at Aragon during the first round and won in World Supersport in 2020. The second-highest Yamaha in the Championship is Garrett Gerloff (GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team), who is top Independent and heads back to the track where he was on the podium twice in 2020 and took a best finish of second. He may well be another contender for victory, especially after an Aragon podium last weekend.

Scott Redding (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) lies third in the Championship standings and was on good form at the Circuito Estoril in 2020 until his Superpole crash. He recovered for Race 2 and was second and won Race 2 at Aragon last weekend. He aims for back-to-back victories for the first time in his career; teammate Michael Ruben Rinaldi will hope for better weekend at Estoril, after a tricky Aragon gave the Italian just nine points and one points-scoring finish in Race 1 of 2021. He took the Independent title at Estoril in 2020 and aims to rekindle good memories. Leading Ducati’s Independent charge is Chaz Davies (Team GoEleven), winner at Estoril in 2020 and eager to build on two top five finishes at Aragon from round one, despite his Race 2 crash.

One of the hottest headlines coming into the second round of the season is that BMW have visibly made a step forward in performance in race trim. The new M 1000 RR made major gains in a straight line, as it was not only staying with its rivals in a straight line but passing them too. Tom Sykes (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) is fifth in the standings – the first time inside the top five for him since Losail 2018 – and achieved two tenth place finishes in 2020 at Estoril. Michael van der Mark (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) was on the rostrum in the Superpole Race of 2020 at Estoril, whilst he led a race at Aragon in Race 2 and setting a fastest lap in the opening round’s Tissot Superpole Race.

Aiming to turn a corner after a difficult opening three race of the year, Team HRC’s Alvaro Bautista and Leon Haslam will hope to put the Fireblade CBR1000RR-R SP in front-running contention at Estoril. A best of seventh from Bautista in the Superpole Race at Aragon has left the manufacturer hoping for more this weekend, whereas Leon Haslam returns to a place where he took three top eight results last year – a best of fifth in Race 1 having started on the front row in second. With Haslam 12th in the standings and Bautista one place further behind, a turn-around in fortunes is a must this weekend.
Round 2 is already here… get ready for the Estoril Round!

With Gerloff and Davies sixth and eighth in the Independent standings, next best is Jonas Folger (Bonovo MGM Racing) who took a stunning eighth in Race 2 at Aragon, having gambled on slick tyres. The German rider rode a Yamaha at Estoril in 2020 as a wildcard but faces a new challenge on the BMW M 1000 RR. Lucas Mahias (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) is 14th in the standings, with a tenth in Race 2 at Aragon – he was also a race winner in WorldSSP in 2020 at Estoril. Kohta Nozane (GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) was mightily impressive and is one of just seven riders who scored points in all three races so far this year, although Estoril will be a whole new challenge with it being a track he’s never visited. Axel Bassani (Motocorsa Racing), Isaac Viñales (ORELAC Racing VerdNatura) and Christophe Ponsson (Alstare Yamaha) also all scored points from round one.

Still aiming to get their 2021 underway on the points board is Tito Rabat (Barni Racing Team), who failed to finish both full-length races at Aragon; Eugene Laverty (RC Squadra Corse) who couldn’t break into the top 15 and TPR Team Pedercini Racing duo Loris Cresson and Samuele Cavalieri. Leandro Mercado (MIE Racing Honda Team) will be absent from the grid at Estoril, following the team’s announcement to follow an intensive development programme.

Jesse James Shedden returns for the MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul for 2021.

Jesse James Shedden will be returning to compete in the MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul for the 2021 season.  He has secured his spot in all four rounds with the season kicking off at Road America in Wisconsin on June 11 & 12th.  The following rounds will be held in Washington, Pittsburgh, and Alabama.  Like the 2020 season, Jesse James will be participating in two classes aboard his Ohvale GP-0 160cc and GP-0 190cc. The 2020 season was Shedden’s first year in road racing and he was able to secure a second place overall on the 190cc and a third place overall on the 160cc.

Shedden found that coming from his vast motocross background to road racing the transition was very easy to get up to race pace. This season Shedden will have a new number (99) and new livery to salute all those that serve and protect our country.

The 2021 season is here and it could not take place without the support from Atlas Speed Factory / Fresh N Lean / Eleven Motorsports / Bell Helmets / TechSpec / Suspension Matters / Mithos USA / Dunlop / ASV Inventions / Fast Bike Industries / Yoshimura / Alpinestars / VNM Sport / Cycle Gear / Galfer USA / Maxima USA / Allsport Dynamics / Anthony’s Leatherworks / Martino Design.

American Flat Track: Series Headed To Chicago Half-Mile May 29

Progressive AFT Bares Down on Chicago Half-Mile

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 25, 2021) – The Progressive American Flat Track paddock is well accustomed to Memorial Day weekends in Illinois, but it’ll have a different flavor in 2021 with the long-awaited return of the Chicago Half-Mile on Saturday, May 29.

Now that the Springfield Mile owns a Labor Day weekend doubleheader, the traditional late May date moves a couple hours north to the Dirt Oval at Route 66 Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, marking the first of five rounds in the state this season.

It also marks the series’ first stop at the wide and fast “Dirty O” Half-Mile at the mega Chicagoland Speedway complex in nearly 14 years. Despite the extended hiatus, there remains a realistic opportunity for a rider to extend a win streak at the venue considering that Mission SuperTwins presented by S&S Cycle championship contender Jared Mees (No. 9 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) was the victor when the Grand National Championship last raced in Joliet back in 2007.

Last Saturday’s rainout in Fort Worth provided only limited intel, but in the two Mission SuperTwins sessions that were completed, Mees was firmly back amongst the frontrunners after a knee injury severely hampered his ability to compete in Atlanta. The multi-time series king will arrive at the Chicago Half-Mile another week removed from his training accident and more closely resembling the Jared Mees the world saw dominate the season’s most recent Half-Mile Main Event at Volusia Speedway Park back in March.

Double defending Grand National Champion Briar Bauman (No. 1 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) was even faster than Mees at Texas Motor Speedway, topping both sessions in the abbreviated event. It’s no secret that Bauman is champing at the bit as he looks to return to the top of the podium as soon as humanly possible. While he’s strung together three seconds, three thirds, and two fourths in his last eight races, he’s uncharacteristically gone winless over that stretch.

In Bauman’s defense, he was busy (successfully) defending a points lead late last season and did exactly what he needed to in order to win his second consecutive Mission SuperTwins crown. But now he likely needs to start putting together some wins in his effort to push for a third.

The Mission Roof Systems squad of Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750), Jarod Vanderkooi (No. 20 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750), and Brandon Price (No. 92 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750) missed out on an opportunity to defend their sponsors’ home turf last weekend. All three will be well primed to carry that pent-up motivation into Chicagoland.

Over the past season and change, Sammy Halbert (No. 69 Coolbeth-Nila Racing Indian FTR750) has reestablished himself as a week-in, week-out contender, which means he’ll merit watching again in Joliet. Meanwhile, points leader JD Beach (No. 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) is attempting to do precisely the same thing, and his efforts will continue to be closely tracked as well.

 

AFT Singles

Even with just three rounds in the books, the 2021 AFT Singles season has already taken shape in fan-pleasing fashion with big names Shayna Texter-Bauman (No. 52 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-FFE) and Dallas Daniels (No. 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) splitting the wins and locking down two of the top three spots in the early-season championship rankings.

There’s no reason to think they both can’t be among the lead pack again at Dirt Oval at Route 66 Speedway. But there’s also no reason to think there won’t be several others vying for the checkered flag as well.

Mikey Rush (No. 15 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) trails only teammate Daniels in the points and stands as the only rider in the class to land on the box at every race this season. 2020 championship runner-up Max Whale (No. 18 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-FFE) has translated his late 2020 flurry into a strong 2021 opening, having finished fourth or better in six of his last seven races. And the decorated and determined Henry Wiles (No. 17 American Honda/Progressive Insurance CRF450R) seems primed to explode with a huge weekend at any moment.

There’s also the banner class of rookies and sophomore riders who will be looking to knock the aforementioned AFT Singles stalwarts a few pegs down the order whenever possible.

 

AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines

AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines points leader Cory Texter (No. 65 G&G Racing/Roof Systems Yamaha MT-07) is among the few riders who’ve been around long enough to have raced at the Dirt Oval at Route 66 Speedway when Progressive AFT last visited the venue in 2007.

After so many years, it seems doubtful that prior experience will provide much of an upper hand this weekend. However, what could are his trademark consistency of performance and his ability to continually improve as the day goes on. Texter has been on the podium 18 times since the start of his championship-winning season in 2019 and that sort of continual excellence makes him a serious threat to reclaim the title in 2021.

To do so, however, he’ll have to fend off a trio of ex premier-class runners in Chad Cose (No. 49 Voodoo Ranger/Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R), Dan Bromley (No. 62 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07), and Dalton Gauthier (No. 79 D&D Cycles/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson XG750R) who are currently breathing down his neck in the championship standings.

That doesn’t even account for last year’s third- and fourth-ranked riders, Ben Lowe (No. 25 Mission Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R) and Ryan Varnes (No. 68 RVR/Rausch Fuel Kawasaki Ninja 650), nor 2020 race winner Johnny Lewis (No. 10 Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield Twins FT).

 

The Chicago Half-Mile also represents the 2021 premiere of Royal Enfield’s extremely popular BUILD. TRAIN. RACE. program, which serves to highlight and celebrate women and motorcycle culture. Phase I saw the competitors each build their own custom Royal Enfield INT 650 Twin flat track racers. Phase II then saw them hone their flat track skills in  training programs guided under the watchful eye of expert racers. And now it’s time for Phase III — the races.

Spectator safety remains the top priority and Progressive AFT has worked closely with local health and government officials toward those ends. For more on the specific precautions being undertaken, please consult the Progressive AFT Events Health & Safety FAQ.

NEMRR by Mayhew Tool Race #2 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Summer came early to Round #2 of the NEMRR series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  In stark contrast to the season opener 3 weeks ago, riders were greeted with 80+ degree temperatures and bright sunshine.  While there were some notable absences from that paddock as several top NEMRR regulars were competing at the MotoAmerica round at Virginia International Raceway (with Ben Gloddy and Teagg Hobbs scoring wins).  There was also a welcome inflow of several old faces who had taken some time off from racing as well.  NEMRR was also excited to introduce series title partner Mayhew Tools for the 2021 season.  Mayhew produces professional grade American-made tools and supports grass roots racing across several disciplines of motorcycle and automotive competition.

In the Saturday Michelin/Motorace $1500 Dash for Cash (Middleweight GP) the father and son team of Scott and Sam Greenwood were never more than a few bike lengths apart.  The young gun grabbed the holeshot and held off his father for much of the race, but as the race approached the halfway point Scott found an opening after a small mistake from Sam and moved into the lead.  The duo continued to circulate in tandem until Paul Duval had a shock failure that deposited fluid on the front wheel of Rick Doucette, who fell and brought out the red flag.  Since the race had completed more than the requisite 50% of the laps, the results were declared final.

In the Plaistow Powersports Amateur Middleweight GP division the GSX-R600 of Kevin Custer got out to great start and was chased by a swarm of Yamaha R6’s, led by Paul Hosue and Joe Ammendolia.  Custer put down solid laps at the start of the event to stretch out several bike lengths.  Hosue separated himself from Ammendolia and set his best lap of the race as the event passed the halfway point, but ended up falling short of the win at the end of the event.

Another rider putting in some noteworthy performances was 15-year-old Brianna McHugh, who after finishing 2nd in the Firsttrax GT500 class on her Kawasaki Ninja 400 proceeded to pull of a pair of wins in the SportbikeTrackGear.com 500 Supersport and 500 Superbike classes.  The rising star ran impressive times in the low 1:19 range – the likes of which have only been done by current NEMRR MotoAmerica riders Ben Gloddy and Elijah Block.  Things are looking bright for this young lady, who hopes to make her MotoAmerica debut later this season.

As a prelude to the coming Loudon Classic in June, Shane Narbonne came out and showed his typical impressive speed with wins in the GTO and Antham Motorsports Heavyweight Supersport classes.  There promises to be lots of competition in this years Mayhew Tools Loudon Classic as riders from the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Atlantic regions come to NHMS from June 18-20 for a three-day celebration of racing in an exciting twin sprint format.
