Travis Wyman scores top 10 finish at season-ending MotoAmerica Championship of Alabama

Weir Everywhere Racing BMW team concludes two-round Superbike development program

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Weir Everywhere Racing BMW team closed out its 2019 MotoAmerica season by scoring a top 10 finish and completing a two-round Superbike Class development project.

Rider Travis Wyman piloted the team’s 2017 BMW S 1000 RR, which the team has used for the last two seasons and is being retired from MotoAmerica competition, to 10th- and 11th-place finishes in the MotoAmerica Championship of Alabama’s Superbike races on Saturday and Sunday.

The 2018 MotoAmerica Stock 1000 runner-up team and rider elected to compete in the Superbike Class for the last two rounds of 2019 as part of a test and development project. Superbike’s less stringent regulations on motorcycle modifications allowed the team to learn more about how to best set up a motorcycle’s suspension and geometry for Wyman. Evidence of the team’s progress can be found on the timing sheets. Wyman lowered his best lap time around the 2.38-mile, 16-turn circuit by more than two seconds aboard the team’s lightly modified Stock 1000 package.

With the 2019 season coming to an end, the team extends its thanks to its family of sponsors and development partners for their support this past season. The team’s plans for the 2020 MotoAmerica season will be announced as soon as possible.

Travis Wyman / #240
“It was a good end to the 2019 season for the team, as we accomplished what we set out to when we decided to compete in Superbike the last two rounds. My crew chief and mechanic, Steve Weir and Alex Torres, have worked incredibly hard to find the best set-up for me, and to finish in the top 10 against some of the best motorcycle road racers in the United States on our Stock 1000-trimmed BMW S 1000 RR is incredible. I went 2.5-seconds faster on the Barber track than I ever had before on a two-season old engine. We learned a lot that will help us if we return to the MotoAmerica competition in 2020. I want to thank all the individuals and businesses who have supported the team over the last two years, especially BMW North America and the California Superbike School. Hopefully, we will be able to continue serving our sponsors marketing and product development needs for years to come.”

Gloddy Gets First Podium

Quarterley Racing On Track Development rider Ben Gloddy got his first MotoAmerica podium ever in race two of the LIQUI MOLY Junior Cup at Barber Motorsports Park on September 22. It was an amazing result for the rider who did not start racing with the team until round five of the 2019 series at the Utah Motorsports Campus on June 15-16 because he was not the minimum age to compete of 14 until the Friday before the event.
At the other end of the experience spectrum, veteran racer Michael Barnes got second place for the team in the Twins Cup race. Battling from a second row start, Barnes crossed the line in third but was promoted to second after a rider in front of him was penalized.
Ben’s Junior Cup teammates Teagg Hobbs and Jacob Stroud each scored a top ten finish over the weekend, with Teagg finishing the season eighth overall in the points. Jamie Astudillo continued her progress in the class, scoring just outside the points in both races.

Ben Gloddy:

“It was my first time at Barber and I was impressed with how nice everything is. It looks like someone took a golf course and put a track in the middle of it.

“The first thing that impressed me about the track itself is how many blind turns there are. You’re looking at the corners and you’re thinking they’re kind of slow but they’re ridiculously fast.

“I watched a bunch of videos of both racing and onboard shots before coming to the track. The experience of actually riding it is really cool. You have to learn your marks and reference points. For instance, you can’t see into turn one; you just have to tip it in and hope for the best.

“I started chipping away at my lap times right from the start of practice, and by the end of practice I was doing 1:40’s. I noticed that everyone in my class was really even around the track. No one had a particularly weak or strong spot. I could see that, in the race, it was just going to be whoever was going to take the draft or dive underneath someone.

“I was pretty confident going into the first race and had been able to get my laps times down into the 1:36’s. I knew I had the pace in qualifying and I just had to go out and do the same thing in the race.

“I got a pretty bad start but made up for it in the second corner. I only lost one spot and got by the one guy that got by me and started picking people off as the race went by and ended up just off the podium in fourth by just four tenths of a second. The guy in third place had just a little too much of a gap on me and I couldn’t get a draft off him at the line. It was really encouraging because I knew then that a podium in race two was definitely possible.

“Race two used the same grid as race one. I got a better start and was able to get up next to a few people who had broken away. I hung back to see what they were doing and started picking people off after the first couple of laps. There were six of us in the pack fighting for third. At one point I was sixth but I wasn’t too worried because I knew I had the pace to get back up to the front.

“On the final lap I pulled a little bit of a gap. The guy just behind me closed it on the front straight but he wasn’t able to draft me to the line. I just had my head down and was going for it.

“I was really excited after the race. I thought it was the coolest moment in my life so far. It was my first MotoAmerica podium and I hadn’t even been racing the whole year. My team was waiting for me in the winner’s circle and the first person to congratulate me after them was the class champion for this year.

“I’m ready for 2020. This podium has given me a boost of confidence that I can get on the podium and be competitive next year. I just want to thank Bob Robbins and Dale Quarterley and the whole Quarterley Racing On Track Development team for all their help, in addition to the Penguin Racing School, Eric Wood and John Grush. I really couldn’t have accomplished all this without them.”

Michael Barnes:

“I’ve raced at Barber Motorsports Park every year since they opened in 2003 except for 2008 and 2014. This weekend started off with uncertainty while I was trying to get to know the new track surface. They did a phenomenal job of repaving it, but initially it seemed like there was no grip entering the corners and that the tires would slip unpredictably while, at the same time, there was lots of grip on the gas coming out of the turns. I was very cautious the first couple of sessions until it came to me. As the weekend went on, the surface got a lot better. I have no doubt that the surface will continue to get better and it should be nearly perfect next year. They definitely know what they’re doing.

“On Saturday we had an engine failure, so we put another motor in for Sunday. It ran good, but there were a couple little problems with it not revving to redline. I’d turn the bike off and it would reset itself and that seemed to work.

“Qualifying went really well on Saturday and it looked like we would at least be on the front row for most of the session. When it was all over we ended up on the second row, and that was a little concerning because I haven’t been getting great starts.

“On the first start I was in fourth, on the second start I was third. It was a lot of work getting around the rider just in front of me but I finally got free and was able to set sail after the leaders. I closed the gap quite a bit but in the end I just ran out of time. The Ducati was working really well and the fastest lap of the race was my last lap. One of the riders in front of me was penalized a full second so I moved up from third to second.

“I wanted to finish the season with a win, but it just wasn’t in the cards this weekend. Kudos to my competitors for making me work so hard all season. It was really a lot of fun being around the family atmosphere of the Quarterley Racing On Track Development team. I got the racing bug again. Maybe we can work out something for next year if I can make a buck or two. I’d entertain an offer of possibly doing the Daytona 200 and the MotoAmerica Twins Cup again.

“I haven’t hit the ground all year this year, and, for me, that’s quite the feat. I didn’t know at the beginning of the year that we were going to have a couple of DNFs that took us out of the championship. I’m just so proud of the work the team did every weekend all year long, and I can’t thank Dale Quarterley and Bob Robbins enough for the opportunity they gave me.”

Teagg Hobbs:

“I raced at Barber last year on my own bike and got two DNFs, so I was looking for better results this year.

“I got ninth in first qualifying and was pretty happy with that. We made some changes for qualifying session two but I didn’t like them. I couldn’t work with the bike and went slower than Q1, so I got thirteenth on the grid. I was convinced there was room for improvement and I knew if I could bet some good starts anything was possible.

“In the first race I initially got a good start but then the bike wouldn’t go into second heading down to the first turn. It didn’t happen again but I got shuffled back a little bit. I knew if I could press hard for three laps I could catch back up to the group. There was a huge battle for eighth with six guys in a pack. I was leading the pack on the last lap but then in turn five my teammate Jacob Stroud went under me. I had nowhere to go and got driven out to the edge of track. I tried to keep my spot but two riders ended up going by both Jacob and me. I ended up twelfth, which wasn’t too bad. It could have been a lot worse.

“I did Sunday morning warmup with old tires from New Jersey Motorsports Park and went quicker than the first race, so I was pretty confident going into the second two.

“I was in the group fighting for third in the second race. If I’m in a pack, instead of leading for 11 laps, I follow the other riders and see where they’re stronger. In that way you can take advantage of your strengths and fix you weaknesses. You actually learn during the race, and it’s really obvious on the small bikes.

“I kept the pack in sight for a long time but eventually they pulled a little gap on me. Another rider and I kept passing and repassing each other almost the entire race. I didn’t want to lead on the last lap and carried a little more roll speed out of the last corner. I drafted by and got ninth at the line by a pretty small margin.

“This was my first full season in MotoAmerica and I learned a ton about racecraft and strategy. I’ve been closing the gap to the leaders every track we’ve gone to. I always want to keep growing and progressing.

“I don’t want to ride a Junior Cup bike next year. I’d rather be on a 600cc or Stock 1000cc motorcycle. I feel like I ride bigger bikes a little better and that I have some potential on them. My only solid plan for 2020 is to do the Daytona 200 as a privateer. For now my plan is to just keep going with my training and act like I have a national in two weeks.

“I really can’t thank Bob Robbins and Dale Quarterley and the whole team for all their help this year.”

Jacob Stroud:

“It was an awesome last weekend of the season at Barber Motorsport Park. Even though the results did not go my way after starting down in fifteenth on the grid, a ninth place finish in race one at the front of the second group was for sure an improvement.

“Race two was going a lot better. Although I lost the front podium group from the start, I began fighting my way through the field and was just four seconds back by lap three. I spent the next ten laps chipping away at the lead group and, with two laps to go, I had closed the gap to just under a second and was pushing very, very hard to get into the group and fight for the podium. Turns out I was pushing a little too hard and folded the front dropping into turn nine.

“It was my own fault, and even though I was perfectly alright I was just a little bummed because the podium was so close, only a second away with two laps to go. Even though it ended in a crash, it was probably one of the best races I have ridden while in the States. Crashes happen so you just take it on the chin and move on.

“I’m super stoked for Ben Gloddy and his well-deserved podium. It just shows how some good coaching in the weeks off from Eric Wood and Dale Quarterley can really impact results on the track. My riding has improved dramatically while I’ve been here and I have acquired all these new skills I didn’t even know were there.

“It has been such an awesome experience in America racing for Quarterley Racing On Track Development. It was encouraging to see my progress throughout each weekend on tracks I had never seen and that are so different and unfamiliar to what I have become accustomed to in the last seven years in New Zealand. To start each weekend six or so seconds down on the leaders and to end up a little more than one second down in the last race was super encouraging.

“Thank you to the team for putting up with me and fixing all the bikes I bent, offering advice and making changes to help me get closer to the front. And a special thanks to our two outstanding team coaches, Dale Quarterley and Eric Wood, who took a man from his first qualifying in 22nd to fighting for the podium in three races. A special thanks to Kevin Grant of Kiwi Classic Moto and Bob and Missy Robbins.”

Jamie Astudillo:

“The new track was great. I thought it was a lot better than it was last year. Some other riders said they were losing grip because of the track, but I think it was because the tires started to wear toward the end of our sessions.

“Practice went pretty well for the most part. I was in the top ten but I got taken out toward the end of it. The rider behind me crashed and took me out with him in turn 14. He was a faster rider and I thought he had seen me the corner before and I think he assumed I would stay on the outside line. I opened up wide for the corner and came down to the apex. He was leaned over and grabbed the front brake to try to keep from hitting me. He was fine and kept going, but my bike wasn’t as fine as his. I had no control over the accident so it didn’t spook me at all. Good thing it was a three day weekend because the team had more time to work on the bike.

“Qualifying didn’t go as well as I hoped. I didn’t get a tow from anyone but I made improvements every time I went out.

“In race one things didn’t go very well. I was having a tough time the way it was, and going into the race I wasn’t as focused as I should be. In the first few laps you have to be the most focused because you have to pass the most people you can in the first few corners. On the first lap I got pushed around a lot and a group of riders got a gap on me.
“I improved in race two. I didn’t really think about the first race too much. I just focused on what I needed to do to improve to get back up to speed.

“I’m struggling with confidence right now. I don’t have it yet. My issue is that I’m waiting too long to get back on the gas on the exits of corners. I was a little disappointed because I thought my confidence would be higher this weekend. I’ve improved a lot as far as keeping up with the main group, but my confidence hasn’t improved this whole season and I have to figure out a way to get it back.

“I’m leaving this Friday for the Women’s Motocross of European Nations in Poland. I have my confidence on the dirt bike for sure. I’m improving so much it’s insane. I’m a whole different person on a motocross bike and it sucks that I can’t bring that confidence over to road racing.

“My goal is to be back in the Junior Cup for at least one more year. It will be my fourth year in the class. I started at the age of 14 in first round or the 2017 MotoAmerica season and it’s all I’ve ever done in roadracing. There’s so much I have to learn before I can move up to the Twins or Supersport class.

“A big thank you to my entire crew, Paul, Mark, and Ron, and humongous thanks to Dale Quarterley, Bob Robbins and Eraldo Ferracci and all the sponsors. Without Bob in particular I wouldn’t have been racing.”

From Bob Robbins team Co-owner:

I am very proud of our team in all aspects from the hard work by all our riders and a tireless crew keeping bikes capable of running at the front. Dale Quarterley’s passion to get these kids up front through coaching and set up is unmatched in dedication. As a team we were able to secure several podium finishes and had a good shot at the Junior Cup Championship until our star rider left the sport mid-season. As the saying goes “One door closes and another one opens”. Ben Gloddy came on strong out of the gate on his fourteenth birthday and then made his 2019 goal of a podium with a brilliant last race of the year in an epic battle. He will no doubt be a true contender in the 2020 championship.
The Twins Cup Ducati project was somewhat of a separate plan within the team which started as an opportunity to offer an arrive and ride program with a shakedown by Michael Barnes and changed to a run at the championship after two convincing wins in Atlanta. We thank Michael for his ability to run up front and his persistence despite some problems in getting the bike competitive under MA rules and spec fuel. If nothing else, it seems to have jump started his desire to compete again so look out for him in the future!

BRANDON PAASCH MAINTAINS LEAD IN 2019 HEL PERFORMANCE BRITISH MOTOSTAR MOTO3 AT TT CIRCUIT ASSEN

Brandon Paasch (96) in action at Assen. Photo by Camipix Photography, courtesy of Brandon Paasch.

Brandon Paasch was looking forward to the race weekend at TT Circuit Assen after regaining the lead in the HEL Performance British Motostar Moto3 Championship at Oulton Park two weeks ago. A strong start to the weekend at Assen in both Free Practices saw Brandon atop the lap charts and ready to make a run for pole position in qualifying. Despite leading the majority of the qualifying session, he was pushed back just at the end of the session and started from P2, just under 0.2 seconds behind the pole sitter.

In Race 1, Brandon put his head down and started away with the lead group. After the group settled in, he maintained close contact with the leader and began to prepare an attack. On Lap 9, Brandon pushed to the front and worked hard to create a gap from the following riders. Unfortunately, a last-lap last-corner pass by a competitor caught Brandon by surprise, and he finished second for his 10th podium finish of the season.

A battle royale ensued in Race 2, with five riders pushing to win the race. Brandon had to work hard to stay at the front, and every lap saw the lead change in various corners. Each rider knew it would be a mad rush into the final corner on the last lap, and when it unfolded, a number of riders had touched fairings, resulting in some off-track excursions. Due to time penalty assessments, Brandon was set back to fifth place, his first finish off the podium all season. In spite of all this, he still leads the HEL Performance Moto3 Championship by 23 points.

“That was not at all the way I envisioned the weekend at Assen turning out. It’s one of my favorite tracks in the whole world, and I was really psyched to come back here, especially after a great weekend at Oulton Park, where we took the lead back in the championship. I felt comfortable right away on the KTM Moto3 race bike, and I was setting some good laps and race pace testing during both Free Practices. I was bummed that I didn’t get Pole Position in qualifying, so I was fired up to go out in Race 1 and put down the hammer. I thought I had a good gap once I pulled into the lead, but I left a small opening in the last corners where I got passed and pushed down to second. Not the result I wanted, but I was looking forward to racing again on Sunday to get back on top.

In warmup on Sunday, I really felt great. I had a nice rhythm going and thought I could push hard for the Race 2 win. It turned into a bit of a slugfest, with all the riders moving around and fighting for position. I tried to get out front to make a break, but it didn’t happen. On the last lap, and most critically in the last corner, a bunch of us had to barge through some back markers, which set up some banging between me and a couple guys. The time penalty I got assessed meant it was the first time I finished off the box all season, but we still have the championship lead. Thanks to all the crew at FPW Racing, I wish I had been able to deliver a better result. I’ve got some work to do to finish out the season on top, but I’m looking forward to the last two rounds at Donington Park and Brands Hatch GP.” (Brandon Paasch)

“The results didn’t quite show what we could do, and Brandon says he was disappointed with the weekend. But the team continues to work hard and improve the KTM Moto3 race bike, and Brandon consistently fights for the win. They all should be proud of their efforts, and I’m proud of them. We are still leading the HEL Performance championship, with just a few more races to lock it up. We’ll stay on top of our game and work hard to bring the championship home to FPW Racing.” (Adrian Mason, Team Owner)

AFM: Jayson Uribe Takes Another Formula Pacific Victory, At Thunderhill

AFM: Jayson Uribe Takes Another Formula Pacific Victory, At Thunderhill

Jayson Uribe consolidates his lead in the Formula Pacific championship, while Deion Campbell and Brandon Crawford triumph with well-deserved wins.

After a brief stopover at the AFM’s traditional play area, Sonoma Raceway, the club was back in Willows, California at Thunderhill Raceway Park for the penultimate round of 2019 on September 21 and 22.

With the MotoAmerica season finale taking place at Barber Motorsports Park on teh same weekend, the likes of Andrew Lee, Braeden Ortt, Rocco Landers, Cory Ventura, and Chad Lewin were out of the way, paving the path for some new class winners.

On the 400’s, it was Marc Edwards who owned the day. Edwards started on form with a win in 400 SBK, the first race on Sunday morning, and adding first place trophies in the later Lightweight Twins and Formula Three races. Brendan Ketelsen finished runner up in the races mentioned above, before prevailing over Edwards in the final race for the 400’s, the Calishine Ninja Cup.

Race two on Sunday, Open Superbike, gave the crowd its biggest surprise of the weekend: the defeat of Uribe at the hands of Campbell and Wyatt Farris. Campbell took the win aboard his Kawasaki ZX-10R in front of Wyatt Farris, also aboard a Kawasaki, and Uribe in third place on his Honda. The three racers crossed the line just 0.16 second apart, setting the stage for a three-way battle that would continue throughout Sunday. Campbell, who is always willing to ride hard from lap one impressed all, including Uribe who took Race 1 as a learning experience. “I had an opportunity to study my competition in Race 1,” said Uribe, “which helped show me where I needed to place my focus for the main event, Formula Pacific.” Campbell would go on to win a second race on Sunday, defeating Farris in Open Superstock.

In Formula Pacific, the same three riders stood on the podium. However, this race looked a little different. Uribe, this time took the win convincingly, clearing off on lap one before settling in and holding a 10-second-plus lead for most of the race. Speaking with Uribe post-race, he was delighted with his results. “Overall, I am very satisfied with the weekend,” said Uribe. “My crew and I talked a lot about strategies and tactics. In the end, it paid off. My plan was to either hang back and avoid a battle, if possible, or check out immediately. I saw the opportunity to check out, and that’s what I did. I am super pumped to be leading the points in all three of my classes. I am going to try and play it safe and consistent next round.”

Second place man Farris performed well on his ZX-10R, a plain white bike that appeared to be prepared by Graves Motorsports. Farris was there keeping Campbell and Uribe honest all weekend and will be fighting for the top step at round 7 in October.

As has been the case all season, the 600 class saw the largest grids. It was also where we saw the best performance of the weekend. Brandon Crawford took a new to him, but far from new 2009 ZX-6R, and raced it to three wins on Sunday. Crawford had never thrown a leg over the machine before Saturday and struggled to get the machine set up to his liking. Despite the challenge, Crawford rose to the top of the field and defeated the likes of Stephen Rue, Daniel Riser, Sam Gluss and Berto Woolridge in the three marquis 600 classes: Superbike, Superstock and Formula One. So far in 2019, the AFM 600 classes have been dominated by the Graves Motorsports Kawasaki’s, despite Ortt and Valentin Debise not being present at Round 6, the winning run for “team green” continued.

Riser once again impressed with his consistency, adding to his mountain of hardware with third-place finishes in all three classes. Rue rode to second place in Formula One as well as Superbike. Club president Woolridge took a second place in 600 Superstock, in addition to his wins in 750 Superbike, 750 Superstock and Formula 40 Middleweight.

The AFM will be back in action for the seventh and final round of the season on October 19-20 at Thunderhill Raceway Park.

AFM Titles In Sight For Jayson Uribe After Thunderhill Raceway Triumph!

A mere eight weeks after a terrifying crash that saw Jayson Uribe in need of a bicep repair the young Californian was back on track at Thunderhill Raceway, taking a 3rd and two wins after starting from Pole Position to head the overall standings in the three categories in which he competes.

Aboard his CBR1000RR Honda machine, Jayson once again showed his raw natural talent, despite still only being at 75% full fitness and is now focused on the next round of the AFM Series, where a finish in the points should see him wrap up the titles!
Uribe’s commitment to the cause is visible for all to see.

Unable to race at Sonoma Raceway, when MotoAmerica was in town, he joined Michael Hill and Robbie Floyd on TV commentary, fully aware of the importance of media and sponsor promotion. His intentions back then were clear, to return to the track and continue with his AFM Championship quest. With a double win and a third place finish he achieved it.

Jayson Uribe: “The weekend went pretty well at Thunderhill. We had no issues with the bike, so everything went mechanically to plan. Also, with my fitness there were no real issues which was a weight off my mind. I had three races and qualified on Pole for all of them. In the first race I ended up in third place after getting involved in a battle that I didn’t really want to be involved in. I was trying to play it smart and avoid a hazardous situation and I ended up getting caught out. It is what it is, and we still took a podium. I learned a lot and how I needed to change my riding style for the later races. The main race – Formula Pacific – went really well. I made a good start and passed a few people into turn one and tried my best to check out. We finished with a twelve second lead and I’m super satisfied. I would have liked to have won all three, but we leave Thunderhill will the points lead in all three classes. I am excited to move onto the next round and see where things go. I will stay safe and smart, and if I finish in the points, I wrap up the titles. Big thanks to everyone who supports me.”

MotoAmerica: 2019 Champions Honored In Alabama

MotoAmerica Honors Its Champions

The Big Five Get Their Dues In Gala Event

COSTA MESA, CA (September 25, 2019) – MotoAmerica honored its five 2019 MotoAmerica Champions and those who pushed them the hardest on Monday night, September 23, at a gala event in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, a day after the battles had been won and lost at Barber Motorsports Park.

The list of champions from 2019 is impressive: Twins Cup Champion Alex Dumas, Stock 1000 Champion Andrew Lee, Liqui Moly Junior Cup Champion Rocco Landers, Supersport Champion Bobby Fong and EBC Brakes Superbike Champion Cameron Beaubier, who won the premier title on his Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing YZF-R1 and helped Yamaha take home the Manufacturers Crown.

But this isn’t just about the champions. It’s also about the riders who pushed those champions the hardest – the top three in each title chase. Additionally, JD Beach won the Superbike Rookie of the Year award for riding to fourth in the EBC Brakes Superbike Championship and earning his first class win along the way.

Beaubier was the man of the night, the Californian never giving up the fight as he climbed his way back into the Superbike Championship fight when the title seemed all but lost just a few rounds before. Beaubier won both races at Barber Motorsports Park and walked away with the title – his fourth in the past five years – by just five points over Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias.

“It was a rollercoaster of a season,” Beaubier said. “It actually started out pretty good at the first round compared to the last few years. I was on two wheels at the end of the weekend which wasn’t the case the last few years. I was super thankful for that and we came out with the points lead and I was like, ‘Man this is going to be a really good season after the really good season we had last year, but that wasn’t the case. I was getting smoked by the Yosh (Yoshimura Suzuki) guys. Then Garrett (Gerloff) and I started to find our feet a little bit and Garrett was crushing it there in the middle of the season. Honestly, it took a hit on my confidence to have such a fast teammate and then getting beat by the Yosh guys as well. I owe a lot to my mentor Jake Zemke, who is always behind me and always building me up when I was a little down. We fought back and never quit and I think if it wasn’t for Garrett finding his edge and showing his true ability this year, I don’t think we would have wrapped up this title so I owe a big thanks to him and Keith (McCarty) and Tom (Halverson)… I just appreciate from the bottom of my heart you guys giving me this opportunity. I get to do what I love for a living and I’ll never take it for granted.”

The night was bittersweet for Beaubier as he paid homage to his longtime crew chief Rick Hobbs, who had announced his retirement from racing.

“Rick (Hobbs), it’s been so great working for you for these past six years,” Beaubier said. “You’ve taught me so much on and off the track. You’re just an all-around great human and one of everyone’s favorite guys in the pits so I’m really going to miss you and I’m glad we sent you out on top. Man, I was sitting on the grid yesterday and I was just ready to go with the last race of the season and everything is on the line. I was ready to go and Rick gives me a fist pump and I see his bottom lip quivering and I was like, ‘Are you about to cry? Don’t do this to me right now.’ My heart just sank… and then I blew turn one (laughs). Seriously, a big thanks to all my guys and everyone at Yamaha, my girlfriend who doesn’t get too much credit, but she’s a big support to me; and to my family who are always behind me.”

MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey closed the night’s festivities.

“This morning I was able to go to a roundtable with all the MotoAmerica Champions and we got to sit around and talk about the championship and how it went for each one of the racers,” Rainey said. “It was interesting for me to see how much a championship means to them and what all they went through to get it. And, tonight, to see all the top three in each class come up and talk about their season… it really struck me as pretty incredible because being a racer and now helping put together MotoAmerica, it’s really strange that I can be a part of this. There was a lot of controversy this year, a lot of hard riding – because it means a lot. And, quite frankly, I was all for it. If the riders don’t give all to achieve what they can to be champions, what is all this worth? Tonight, everyone talked about that. What it’s like to not win, what it meant to achieve. That’s what it’s all about and I’m really proud of what my partners and I have put together in the last five years. Everybody in here has a story. Everybody in here has a rider that they root for, a team they work for. There are so many people on those teams that need to do their jobs so their guy can get the job done. This is great. I’m very fortunate to come back and be a part of racing in this way. The best part for me is being at the racetrack. I love watching the races, the emotions. I feel for each and every guy when they fall down, I feel for the teams when they win and lose. It’s incredible.”

The 2020 MotoAmerica Series kicks off in 191 days at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.

World Superbike: Alvaro Bautista Will See Circuit De Nevers Magny-Cours For The First Time This Coming Weekend

World Superbike: Alvaro Bautista Will See Circuit De Nevers Magny-Cours For The First Time This Coming Weekend

The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team arrives at the Magny-Cours circuit in France for the eleventh round – the last event this year on European soil – of the Superbike World Championship

Following the Portuguese Round at Portimão, World SBK has now relocated almost 2,000 kilometres northwards in France for the third-to-last round of the championship. The French Round will also be the final one on European soil before the two overseas events in Argentina and Qatar in the month of October which will wrap up the season.

For Álvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), the Magny-Cours circuit will be a totally new experience, unlike this year’s other new tracks like Imola and Portimão where testing had been organized before the races. Mathematically the fight for the title is still open and the French Round will give the 34-year-old Spaniard further opportunities to add more wins to his tally of 15 already this year.

Team-mate Chaz Davies on the other hand gets another chance to repeat his Laguna Seca win at a circuit he knows well and where he has raced every year since 2012: the 32-year-old Welshman has in fact started 14 races at Magny-Cours, scoring three wins there in 2016 and 2017 with the twin-cylinder Panigale as well as two second places.

World Superbike returns to action therefore at a circuit where, out of 34 races held so far, Ducati riders have won on sixteen occasions, the last one of which was in 2017 with Davies. On five occasions (1991 with Raymond Roche, 2003 with Neil Hodgson and Ruben Xaus, 2004 with James Toseland and Noriyuki Haga, 2011 with Carlos Checa and in 2016 with Chaz Davies) Ducati has scored a double win.

The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team will be out on track on Friday at 10.30 CET for the first free practice session, while the weekend schedule will see Race 1 at 14.00 on Saturday, the Superpole Race at 11.00 on Sunday, followed by Race 2 at 14.00 CET.

Álvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #19) – 2nd (399 points)
“My shoulder is much better than at Portimão, so we will immediately see what it’s like when I go on the track. I think I will have no problem to ride, but it will be very important for me to do a lot of laps on the track, learn the layout and be competitive in the race. We have to try and keep cutting the gap to Jonathan, but we are ready for the weekend and I hope to enjoy this new track.”

Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #7) – 7th (204 points)
“I feel good for Magny-Cours because the podium at Portimao has actually given me optimism for the rest of the season and I feel that it proves we have a pretty good package with the bike now. The French track has been quite kind to me in the past so we’ll try and get some good results there. I’m not really looking for any particular place in the championship now: of course it’s nice to be in the hunt for the top 3 but my goal is just to be competitive on the remaining circuits until the end of the year.”

The Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours
The Magny-Cours circuit first appeared on the World SBK calendar for a single year in 1991 but since 2003 it has been a regular fixture, often in the final part of the season. The circuit, the former venue for the French Formula 1 Grand Prix, has a spectator capacity of 90,000 and is located near the town of Nevers, some 250km south of Paris. In the past the championship has also briefly visited both Paul Ricard and Le Mans, whilst riders of the calibre of Raymond Roche, Regis Laconi and Sylvain Guintoli have been worthy representatives of France in World SBK, with the former winning the 1990 title and the latter in 2014.

Circuit Record: Sykes (Kawasaki), 1’35.696 (165.94 km/h) – 2018
Fastest Lap: Rea (Kawasaki), 1’37.152 (163.45 km/h) – 2018
Track Length: 4.411 km
Race Distance: 2 x 21 laps (92.631 km), 1 x 10 laps (44.110 km)

American Flat Track: Season Finale Happening This Coming Weekend At The Meadowlands Mile

Meadowlands Mile Primed for Thrilling AFT Season Finale

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – An epic 2019 American Flat Track season will come to its conclusion this weekend with the running of the Meadowlands Mile in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Saturday, September 28.

Briar Bauman (No. 14 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) enters the season finale newly crowned as the 2019 AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines champion after locking up the title this past weekend at the Minnesota Mile. That development effectively removes the restraints and sets the table for a no-holds barred showdown featuring Bauman and any number of rivals who aspire to end the year with a statement victory.

Certainly, Bauman still has more than plenty in play. A win at the Meadowlands would be his maiden Mile victory and see the new champion at last complete the flat track career Grand Slam one week after taking his first-career AFT Twins Championship. Free from the championship pressures and associated temptation to play it smart for the sake of prudent points collection, Bauman now has an ideal opportunity to show everyone exactly what he’s capable of on a big track this weekend.

Jared Mees (No. 1 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750), meanwhile, won’t just be looking to get an early start on next year’s psychological battle as he works toward reclaiming the throne; he’ll also be attempting to complete a perfect six-for-six season’s sweep of the Miles on the ‘19 calendar. His 15 Mile wins (12 of which have come in the last three seasons alone) place him sixth all time, trailing only legends Scott Parker, Chris Carr, Bubba Shobert, Bryan Smith and Ricky Graham.

Speaking of Bryan Smith (No. 4 Crosley Brands/Howerton Motorsports Kawasaki Ninja 650), his runner-up result in Minnesota should be viewed as a warning shot to his rivals, signaling that the hugely accomplished pilot is well poised to strike this weekend. His Mile mastery is widely renowned, and he’d like nothing more than to close out a difficult-at-times season on a high note… exactly as he did a year ago by winning the Meadowlands Mile.

Meanwhile, there’s more than pride and historical achievements on the line on the undercard with championships still yet to be decided in both the Roof Systems AFT Singles presented by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys and AFT Production Twins classes.

Dalton Gauthier (No. 122 D&D Cycles/Gobert Smash Husqvarna FC450) is in an exceptionally strong position to conclude his comeback season with a crown. He comes to New Jersey leading defending AFT Singles champion Dan Bromley (No. 1 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-F) by 21 points. Gauthier will have his work truly cut out for him considering Bromley’s three career AFT Singles Mile victories.

Adding to the drama is the likelihood of a pack war to decide the race with two-time 2019 Mile winner Mikey Rush (No. 15 RMR Honda/Red Riders Rewards Honda CRF450R) and last year’s Meadowlands Mile victor Shayna Texter (No. 52 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing SX-F 450) chief among the pre-race favorites.

Cory Texter (No. 65 G&G Racing/Holeshot Powersports Yamaha MT-07) races into the Meadowlands finale exactly where he’s been all year long — on top of the AFT Productions Twins points standings. However, his three victories on the year came in the season’s opening three races. Momentum has shifted decidedly in his rivals’ favor since that time.

Nevertheless, he maintains a 15-point advantage over second-ranked Kolby Carlile (No. 136 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07) and an 18-point advantage over third ranked Ryan Varnes (No. 68 Varnes Racing/RoyBuilt Kawasaki Ninja 650). Complicating things somewhat is the fact that if either Carlile or Varnes were to win on Saturday, they’d equal Texter in season victories at three, and hold the second tiebreaker (most second-place finishes) over Texter in the event of points deadlock.

Beyond the battles to decide a pair of #1 plates, the season finale will be a special occasion off the track as well, headlined by a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Rookies Class of ‘79. The fabled Class of ‘79 went on to enjoy nearly incomprehensible collective greatness in their racing achievements, and they continue to have a massive impact on the sport to this day, most notably in running the official charity of the series which routinely helps injured riders in their time of need. As a part of that celebration, Class of ‘79 alumnus and three-time 500 Grand Prix World Champion Wayne Rainey will serve as the event’s Grand Marshal.

Additionally, Chasing Neon will be performing live classic rock and country music, and the Giants Drumline will be on-hand to keep fans moving all night long. There will also be numerous vendors and food and beverage options available to keep the fans fully fueled.

Tickets for the Meadowlands Mile are available at tickets.americanflattrack.com. General Admission tickets start at just $40 with kids 12 and under admitted for free.

Multiple upgraded ticket options are also available, including the popular Reserved Outdoor Grandstand seating option which sold out at the Meadowlands Mile in 2018, indoor climate-controlled seating in ‘The Lounge,’ the premium Trotters Club VIP Experience and a limited number of Pit Pass Upgrades.

World Superbike: Jonathan Rea Could Clinch Championship This Coming Weekend In France

Final European Round For Rea And Haslam

KRT riders Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam are now making preparations to compete in the 11th round of the season, at the Magny Cours Circuit in France, this coming weekend. The 4.411km long racetrack will host the final European-based round of the 2019 season before the championship finishes off in Argentina and Qatar in October.

At the previous round in Portimao, which re-started the entire championship campaign after its long summer break, Rea scored two race wins to extend his championship lead. Four-times world champion Rea has his first arithmetical chance to make it five championships in a row at Magny Cours, which was the decisive scene of his 2018 championship win.

Talk of the championship win is premature for Rea and all inside the KRT tent, however, as they will continue to aim to win each race and not be distracted by any other factors. In all Rea has scored five wins at Magny Cours over his career, having scored total of nine podiums at a circuit of many contrasts in layout.

Although Haslam has not raced at Magny Cours since 2015 he has happy memories of the French track too, having scored three podiums there. Leon’s ideal result this weekend would be his first win in Kawasaki colours, after securing six podium finishes in his WorldSBK comeback season.

In the championship standings Jonathan has 490 points and a lead of 91 over Alvaro Bautista. Leon has scored 229 points and is in overall fifth place, with a very realistic ambition of finishing third by season’s end.

The now-familiar 2019 season schedule will feature Superpole and then a full distance Race One on Saturday 27th September, with the ten-lap Tissot-Superpole ‘sprint’ race on Sunday morning, followed by a full distance Race Two. Track action gets underway on Friday 26th with two Free Practice sessions for the WorldSBK riders.

Jonathan Rea, stated: “It is very exciting to go to Magny Cours because it feels like the previous round in Portugal was a long time ago. I am ready to get back on the bike. Last weekend was the wedding of my crew chief Pere Riba, so we were all together as a team and we had a really good time together. Now we turn our attentions to Magny Cours. It is a circuit that requires really good stability on the brakes and also a bike set-up that changes direction well. I feel that we are prepared as it is will play to the strengths of the Ninja ZX-10RR in some areas and in some areas we need to find a set-up compromise. We need to keep one eye on the weather and one eye on performance. At Magny Cours you never really know what weather cards you are going to get dealt. In any case I am ready to get stuck in.”

Leon Haslam, stated: “It has been a few years since I was in Magny Cours but I have some good memories of being there and I’ve had some podiums there. Always, the temperature and weather is key and I remember getting my last podium there in the rain. I think I was on pole at Magny Cours in 2015 as well, so I am looking forward to it. It is a track with a few big straights. There are a few areas I may struggle with in the dry but going into it knowing those areas hopefully we can rectify that rather than going into it blind. I am looking forward to this race weekend and it is the last European round of this year. I am still aiming for third in the championship so I hope we can come away with some solid podiums.”

Top independent rider with three rounds to go, Toprak Razgatlioglu (Turkish Puccetti Racing) aims to take his 2019 podium tally into double figures in France, having scored eight top three race finishes so far.

Jordi Torres (Team Pedercini Racing Kawasaki) has posted some impressive top ten rides for his rejuvenated and ambitious privateer squad, and aims for more this weekend. Jordi is now 12th in the overall championship points standings.

In 15th place in the world after ten rounds, Leandro Mercado (Orelac Racing VerdNatura Kawasaki) is another motivated Kawasaki privateer, particularly as the next round after Magny Cours will take place in his native Argentina.

ASRA/CCS: Jason Farrell, Zach Schumacher Shine On Rain-Soaked Weekend At Blackhawk Farms

Zach Schumacher and Jason Farrell shine while riding in the rain-soaked final round of the Championship Cup Series’ (CCS) Midwest region this past weekend, Sep 21-22, on the 1.95 mile, seven-turn course of Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit, Illinois.

Starting with the first race on Saturday through the final race on Sunday, the track conditions varied only in how large the puddles were. Record amounts of rain kept the track wet all weekend, but the continuous precipitation did provide for close and unpredictable racing. Schumacher won four races on his Yamaha YZF-R1 supported by Dunlop tires. In the Unlimited GP race, Michael Butler got through turn one first, followed by Drew Jankord and Schumacher. On the second lap, Schumacher made his way by Jankord out of turn six and set his sights on Butler. On the final lap, Schumacher made his move under Butler in turn one to take the lead and win the race. After the race, Butler was assessed a one lap penalty for a jump-start, promoting Jankord to second place and Robert Loose Jr. to third.

Farrell won four races including the ASRA Sportbike sprint race where he set the quickest race lap of the weekend, a 1:22.580, riding his Farrell Performance Kawasaki ZX-6R on Pirelli tires. For the amateurs, Tim Lenahan won eight races on his DTTR LLC Yamaha YZF-R6 equipped with Bridgestone tires. Lenahan recorded the fastest amateur lap time of the weekend, a 1:28.727.

In the Lightweight expert division Zach Mixion went undefeated winning seven out of seven races on his Bridgeston backed Suzuki SV650. In the Amateur category Ike Ozurumba led the field, racking up five wins on his Bridgestone mounted Suzuki SV650.

For the Ultra-light races, Drew Jankord and Bruce Barry both stood on the top step riding their Pirelli backed Kawasaki ninjas. Barry won the 25 Minute GT500 race, and CCS Moto3 race in convincing style. Jankord took the checkers in 500 Supersport, 500 Superbike and the ASRA Moto3 race.

The American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA) is the parent organization to the Championship Cup Series (CCS), the largest Amateur motorcycle road racing organization in the United States issuing over 2800 licenses per year. ASRA promotes eight AMA sanctioned Sprint Series and seven AMA sanctioned Team Challenge road racing events for 2019. The CCS Series sanctions 40 events at popular tracks around the United States, including Daytona International Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Homestead Miami Speedway, Road America, New Jersey Motorsports Park and Virginia International Raceway among other fine venues.
