Baz Is Best On Friday At New Jersey Motorsports Park

Frenchman Loris Baz And His Ducati Panigale V4 R Lead The Way In Iffy Conditions On Opening Day At NJMP

MILLVILLE, NJ (September 27, 2024) – By the time the Steel Commander Superbike class took to New Jersey Motorsports Park for Q1, the racetrack was mostly dry which translated to everyone doing their quick laps on slicks. The quickest of those ended up being Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Loris Baz with the Frenchman posting a 1:22.737 on his 23rd and final lap of the 40-minute session.

Baz was the only rider to crack into the 1:22s with his 1:22.737 leading Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Cameron Beaubier by .413 of a second. Beaubier didn’t do as many laps as Baz and his best came on his 13th and final go-around, a 1:23.150.

Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Brandon Paasch was a career-best third in Q1 with a 1:23.769.

Fourth fastest on Friday was Superbike Champion-elect Josh Herrin with the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati rider the last one in the 1:23s with his 1:23.931, fractions quicker than Attack Performance/Progressive/Yamaha Racing’s Cameron Petersen with the South African ending up fifth.

Petersen’s fill-in teammate Xavi Forés ended the day sixth fastest, some .4 of a second ahead of EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing’s Sean Dylan Kelly, who was still riding the high of his first Superbike win two weeks ago at Circuit of The Americas.

Wrench Motorcycle’s Bobby Fong, Beaubier’s Tytlers Cycle Racing teammate JD Beach, and FLO4LAW Racing’s Benjamin Smith rounded out the top 10 heading into tomorrow morning’s Q2 session.

Supersport – Jacobsen On Top

Tricky conditions in the first Supersport qualifying session meant there were crashes and two red flags. When it was all said and done it was PJ Jacobsen right where he needs to be – at the front.

Light rain fell for most of the session and Rahal Ducati Moto’s Jacobsen saved his best for the end as he does all he can to get closer to Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz, who leads the Supersport title chase by 39 points with this weekend’s two races left in the championship. Scholtz, meanwhile, wasn’t taking any chances, ending the session in sixth and some two seconds off Jacobsen’s pace.

Jacobsen’s best was a 1:34.649 and that kicked his teammate Corey Alexander back to second with the taller of the two leading most of the session before ending up second – .203 of a second from the top.

Third fastest on the day was EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing’s Maxi Gerardo with Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott and Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Stefano Mesa rounding out the top five.

Stock 1000 – Slick Hayden

Real Steel Motorsports’ Hayden Gillim saved his best for last in Stock 1000 Q1 with the defending series champion fitting slicks to his Honda CBR1000RR-R SP to earn provisional pole on his final lap of the session.

Gillim timed it perfectly in recognizing there was a dry enough line to give it a go on slicks and the result was a 1:31.243 – 1.5 seconds faster than Team Brazil’s Danilo Lewis.

Edge Racing’s Jason Waters was third fastest, a few tenths quicker than Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates, and fifth-placed Richard Kerr on the AMD Motorsports RK Racing Honda CBR1000RR-R SP.

OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe, who is just seven points behind Gillim in the chase for the 2024 Stock 1000 Championship, ended the session in seventh.

Junior Cup – It’s A Block Party

BARTCON Racing’s Eli Block is in his comfort zone at NJMP. Throw in some iffy weather and he gets even cozier. On Friday, Block was unstoppable in earning provisional pole for the two Junior Cup races this weekend.

Block was the only rider to break into the 1:32s with his 1:32.611 besting Bad Boys Racing’s Avery Dreher by .616 of a second.

Mckellar Racing’s Jaden Mckellar was enjoying his first-ever MotoAmerica Junior Cup race and his weekend started well with the third fastest time in Q1.

Bad Boys Racing’s Ella Dreher was fourth fastest with Speed Demon Racing’s Logan Cunnison rounding out the top five.

Mission King Of The Baggers – ROCCO!

RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers was lucky to get up after a scary crash coming out of the final corner in the closing moments of the Q1 for the Mission King Of The Baggers. Landers was a bit banged up, but smiling nonetheless after earning provisional pole position just a lap before the crash.

Landers ripped off a 1:24.829 on his 11th lap of the 30-minute session for his second provisional pole in a row. His quick lap put him .423 of a second ahead of his teammate Hayden Gillim, who in turn was barely faster than Harley-Davidson Factory Racing’s James Rispoli.

The two protagonists in the battle for the 2024 Mission King Of The Baggers Championship were fourth and fifth with S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Troy Herfoss .2 of a second faster than championship points leader Kyle Wyman. Harley-Davidson Factory Racing’s Wyman leads Herfoss by just two points heading into the weekend’s two races.

NEW JERSEY MOTORSPORTS PARK

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 | PRACTICE & QUALIFYING 1

MILLVILLE, NJ (9.27.2024) – Spirits are high in the paddock after all three Rahal Ducati Moto riders earned top 10 positions during a rainy Qualifying 1.

Corey Alexander had a very successful day, staying on the top of the charts for the majority of the first qualifying session until teammate PJ Jacobsen completed a lap .2 seconds faster. Jacobsen currently sits on provisional pole.

Kayla Yaakov made great strides on her XPEL Ducati, ending the day at her home track in eighth. She is confident in her ability to improve her lap times in the second qualifying session tomorrow.

New Jersey Motorsports Park will see Qualifying 2 tomorrow morning at 9:40 a.m. ET, with the green flag waving for Race 1 at 2:10 p.m. ET.
 
 

PJ JACOBSEN

No. 15 XPEL DUCATI PANIGALE V2

PRACTICE: P1 (1:23:732)

QUALIFYING 1: P1 (1:34:649)

WHAT HE’S SAYING: “First practice went really well here in the dry. I feel pretty confident here because it’s my home track. First qualifying went well also, even though it was half-wet, half-dry towards the end. I beat Corey by just two-tenths there at the end to get provisional pole. Getting the best lap times in today was our goal. I’m looking forward to Qualifying 2 tomorrow. We’ll see what the weather ends up doing this weekend. Hopefully I can get the job done this weekend and put my XPEL Ducati up on the podium.” 
 
 

COREY ALEXANDER

No. 23 CODE 3 ASSOCIATES PANIGALE V2

PRACTICE: P10 (1:25:277)

QUALIFYING 1: P2 (1:34:852)

WHAT HE’S SAYING: “I had a good day here in Jersey. PJ and I ended up first and second in Qualifying. I felt really good off the bat this morning as well. We had a setup issue going on that we were trying to work through, but then the rain started an we didn’t get too many laps in. I felt really good in the laps we did get in though. The rain that came down this afternoon felt really good. PJ and I did really well in the rain last year, so I wouldn’t mind if it continued all weekend. It’s good to start the weekend off with a 1-2 finish, and we’ll be up there helping PJ out with his battle for the championship tomorrow.”
 
 

KAYLA YAAKOV

No. 19 XPEL DUCATI PANIGALE V2

PRACTICE: P13 (1:25:414)

QUALIFYING 1: P8 (1:36:869)

WHAT SHE’S SAYING: “Today we finished our first qualifying session here at New Jersey Motorsports park. Q1 went pretty well, as we were only about .2 away from fourth, not a huge gap. The gap to the front is a little bit bigger, but we struggled a bit with rear grip, so hopefully we can figure that out overnight and be on that front row. It would be exciting to get an all-Rahal lockout on the podium. It’s a lot to ask for, but we are going to have a lot of fun tomorrow and hopefully get a top 5 finish .”
 
 

BEN SPIES

TEAM PRINCIPAL

WHAT HE’S SAYING: “We had a good Friday. We saw some mixed conditions here, which created a bit of a headache. The team performed well. We have another shot at qualifying to try and get some better lap times. We’ll see what the weather does tomorrow and do what we can this weekend. PJ is still trying to fight for the championship. It’s a little bit of a long-shot, but it’s racing, so anything can happen. We’re going to do our best and see how we come out tomorrow.”
