For PJ, who was racing at home, the weekend got even better on Saturday morning as he shone in Q2 to secure a maiden Superbike Pole Position for himself, the team, and the all-new BMW M1000 RR.<\/p><p>A strong showing by both riders in Saturday\u2019s opening encounter saw PJ cross the line in fifth, with Hector sixth.<\/p><p>Sunday\u2019s race was a two-part affair after an initial red flag caused by a technical issue with Hector\u2019s machine. Luckily, the team had enough time to repair the issue and both riders were able to line up for the restart.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, after a strong start that saw PJ inside the top three, he went down, thankfully without injury and as the rain began to fall, Hector found his rhythm, powering to fourth after showing great pace in the closing stages.<\/p><p>The duo remain in side the top six with one round and two races remaining at Barber Motorsports Park in two weeks.<\/p><p><strong>PJ Jacobsen:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>\u201cI was a little disappointed with the result on Saturday, especially after the Pole Position.

I made an initial good start but made a mistake, hit the white line on lap two and went down. It was another Sunday disaster for me, and I don\u2019t really know what to say other than let\u2019s go to Barber and finish the year on a high. The only positive was the Pole Position, so let\u2019s focus on the final round. I want to finish by thanking the team who did an awesome job this weekend.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Hector Barbera:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>\u201cRace 1 was tough. I had a small issue with the rear brake and couldn\u2019t use it which was a problem for me as I usually use it a lot. We were able to finish the race and so I played it safe and settled for the points. The team did an awesome job, and the bike was fast, and the setting was really nice, so it\u2019s a shame we had that small issue. On Sunday it could have been a complete disaster but in the end, we were able to finish fourth in the rain and I am happy with the way I rode.

So, we went back to wets because we saw everybody else was using them. So, we kind of missed the pit lane out to go and line up. Then, unfortunately, I had to start at the back of the grid, a couple rows back. So, that really hurt me coming through the pack on the first couple laps. These guys just gapped me, but I kept my head down and charged hard and managed to get up to second place. I felt like I could have had the pace to be with Danilo (Petrucci) up front, maybe if I could kind of hang onto them the first couple laps. But overall, starting from the back of the grid, I\u2019ll take second place.\u201d<\/p><p>Mathew and the Westby Racing team will be back in action for the final round of the 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, which takes place at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 23 through 25.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-1024x683.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41110 lazyload\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-1024x683.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-300x200.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-768x512.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-600x400.jpeg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba.jpeg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/342;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41110\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8c73db91-26bd-1cff-643a-89f5700ecbba.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><em>Jake Lewis (85) collected a pair of top tens in the penultimate round of the championship.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><p><em>The following is from Suzuki&#8230;<\/em><\/p><p>Suzuki Motor USA and Team Hammer closed the book on the penultimate round of the MotoAmerica AMA\/FIM North American Road Racing season with gritty performances under trying circumstances.<br>&nbsp;<br>Superbike stalwart Jake Lewis leaned upon his vast experience to climb up through the field in Sunday\u2019s wet premier-class contest. The Kentuckian started from the back of the grid due to a last-second pre-race tire change and found himself mired down in 14th position early with the rain coming down, but steadily improved his outlook with a confident, measured ride aboard the team\u2019s Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R.<\/p><p>Already firmly entrenched inside the top ten, Lewis picked up a few more positions late when the precipitation stepped up on the race\u2019s final lap, ultimately claiming sixth place at the checkered flag to lead a five-strong Suzuki GSX-R train that all finished inside the top ten.<br>&nbsp;<br>\u201cIt was a tough race in rainy, mixed conditions, but it was a good race for us,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cIt started raining a lot harder two minutes before the start and we changed to wet tires. I planned to go out on slicks but obviously, that changed. We started from the back of the grid and passed a bunch of riders. Given the challenges, our main goal was to keep it on two wheels, and we accomplished that.\u201d<\/p><p>Superbike rookie teammate Richie Escalante gained valuable wet-weather experience scoring a 13th-place result that certainly clears the way for better races in similar conditions down the road.<br>&nbsp;<br>In the MotoAmerica Supersport competition, Tyler Scott was once again a factor up front despite his very participation being questionable, after suffering a left-hand injury in Saturday\u2019s race. Scott ran as high as second aboard the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750 but lost a handful of positions recalibrating his aggression and form after the skies opened up.<\/p><p>He ultimately earned sixth place, when the race was red flagged and called complete five laps early due to the increasing rainfall.<br>&nbsp;<br>Scott said, \u201cI\u2019m very thankful for the whole Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team getting the bike fixed overnight. I felt strong this morning and had some pace, but I\u2019ve been struggling with my hand. Yesterday, when I high sided, my ring finger was injured making it difficult to hold onto the bike in the second and fourth sectors. Other than that, I felt pretty well throughout the race, but didn\u2019t want to push too hard and risk things, so I just tried to keep a fast pace and finish with a decent result.\u201d<\/p><p>Teammate and fellow class rookie Liam Grant was another of the six Suzuki-mounted riders to break into the top ten, finishing tenth after edging a rival to the strip by a mere 0.032 seconds.<br>&nbsp;<br>The returning Sam Lochoff was sixth early but came home in 12th. The South African continues to both heal and recover his fitness after being unable to train for much of the season.<\/p><p>Lochoff said, \u201cIt was a good race in some ways. I felt more confident out there today than yesterday and it was progress coming back from injury. Then it started to rain. I strongly felt they should have stopped the race to let us get on wet tires. I had nothing to gain being out there taking big risks on dry tires since I wasn\u2019t going to win the race or get on the podium. Still, it was great to be back on the GSX-R and I am looking forward to Barber.\u201d<br>&nbsp;<br>Team Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki will cap off the \u201822 campaign at the Barber Motorsports Park season finale on September 23-25, in Birmingham, Alabama.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-1024x502.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41114 lazyload\" width=\"512\" height=\"251\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-1024x502.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-300x147.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-768x376.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-600x294.jpeg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374.jpeg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/251;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-1024x502.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41114\" width=\"512\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-1024x502.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-300x147.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-768x376.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374-600x294.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1f5ffaca-0b71-8707-f08c-179090196374.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Ben Gloddy finished second in Saturday&#8217;s REV&#8217;IT!

The team\u2019s riders, Ben Gloddy and Teagg Hobbs, finished the lone Twins Cup race of the weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park in second and third \u2013 scoring the team\u2019s second double-podium performance this year.<br>&nbsp;<br>After being off the pace for a couple rounds \u2013 as well as missing a round due to a logistics challenge \u2013 the team&#8217;s riders were right back&nbsp;at the front of the field at the tight-and-twisty 2.25-mile Thunderbolt circuit at NJMP. Hobbs\u2019 third place finish helped him hold onto seventh in the Twins Cup points standing, though Gloddy\u2019s runner-up finish moved him up to eighth place \u2013 just four points adrift of his teammate.<br>&nbsp;<br>Hobbs was right up to speed at the start of the weekend. He was the second-fastest Twins Cup rider in Friday practice and Qualifying 1. Gloddy was a little off Hobbs\u2019 pace but still finished Friday practice in sixth place and the Friday afternoon Qualifying 1 session in seventh.<br>&nbsp;<br>In Saturday morning\u2019s Qualifying 2, Hobbs finished the session in fifth and Gloddy in seventh, which matched the positions each rider secured on the Twins Cup starting grid.<br>&nbsp;<br>The start of the race went well for Gloddy but not so good for Hobbs. Gloddy got a good jump off the line and finished the first lap in fifth place. Hobbs lost several places on the first lap and was running in ninth at the end of Lap 1. Gloddy was the third rider in a three-way battle for third place on Laps 2-4 and moved up to third place on Lap 5 after a couple riders crashed out on that lap. Hobbs made the most of the field getting reshuffled on Lap 5 as he advanced five places up the running order on that lap alone. With the pair of Robem Engineering riders starting Lap 6 in third and fourth place, the duo each moved up another place on Laps 7 and 8, respectively, and were in second and third place by the end of Lap 8. Gloddy led a pack of five Aprilia riders vying for the last two steps on the podium for the final eight laps of the race, while Hobbs fended off the advances of riders behind him to finished third.<br>&nbsp;<br>It was Gloddy\u2019s second podium of the year and his first runner-up finish in Twins Cup. For Hobbs, the third place finish marked his third trip to the podium in 2022 \u2013 as well as his first since suffering a broken collarbone at the Road America round in June.<br>&nbsp;<br>The 2022 MotoAmerica season concludes in two weeks time, with the final round scheduled for Sept. 23-25 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Ben Gloddy \/ No. 72<\/strong><br>\u201cI got a good start and tried to settle myself in there with the top five riders. I felt I was getting held up a little bit by another rider, but I was able to make a move to pass him. I tried to catch up the race leader when I got into second place, but I had used up too much of my rear tire early in the race. I\u2019m hoping we can carry this momentum into Barber and hope we\u2019ll be back on the podium there.\u201d<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Teagg Hobbs \/ No. 79<\/strong><br>\u201cThe weekend went well, and the team and I worked every session to make the bike a little bit better each time out. It was a huge reward to get both Robem Engineering Aprilias on the box.

I was making progress, but I made a rookie mistake into Turn 1 and ran off the track. I lost a lot of time but got my head down and kept pushing. I made a good recovery and was happy with the way I was riding. When it started to rain, I was feeling really good and closing in on the top six but then the red flag came out.

TRAIN. RACE. Road Racing season, but a new face has emerged at the top of the BTR podium. The New Jersey Motorsports Park round of MotoAmerica was the site of Crystal Martinez&#8217; breakthrough victory, where she claimed pole position and Saturday&#8217;s BTR main race win, halting the impressive win streak of Kayleigh Buyck. Martinez was joined on the overall podium by Chloe Peterson and Jenny Chancellor in an epic battle that came down to the final corner.&nbsp;<\/p><p>After setting the fast lap in qualifying, Martinez was primed for her first victory of the season, but a wheelie off the start left her on the back foot. Buyck and Peterson got out to a good start while Martinez quickly regrouped to keep herself with the lead pack. The battle for the lead was an intense one throughout the race, with Peterson heading the field and Martinez nipping at her heels&#8211;at one point quite literally as the two clipped wheels, nearly causing Martinez to lose her front end. &#8220;It shook me up for a split second, but I didn&#8217;t give up,&#8221; said Martinez. &#8220;I kept pushing and battling with Chloe until the very last turn.&#8221;<\/p><p>It was the final turn where a slight miscalculation by Peterson changed the tide. A missed shift caused her to lose her momentum, and allowed Martinez to draft past and nab the win. &#8220;What an epic race!&#8221; Peterson exclaimed. &#8220;I was a quarter-second off first. That was the hardest, most aggressive I have ever ridden. I did things during the race I never thought I would be capable of at the beginning of the season. I&#8217;m bummed, but I&#8217;m also focused on the positives, that I really grew my comfort zone and leveled up my race craft.&#8221;<\/p><p>&#8220;Mad respect to her for pushing until the very end,&#8221; said Martinez. &#8220;It&#8217;s my first win of the season and I have a lot of emotions. Now I want to focus on what I can do better for our last round at Barber. I&#8217;m second in the championship and it&#8217;s still up for the taking.&#8221;<\/p><p>The sixth and final round of the Royal Enfield BTR Road Race season will take place September 23 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, where the 2022 champion will be crowned. With four out five wins to her credit, Kayleigh Buyck holds the advantage, but a fourth-place finish in New Jersey has tightened up the points, and the crown is still very much up for the taking.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cNew Jersey was an exciting round, and a good shake-up in the season,\u201d said Breeann Poland, Marketing and Communications Lead \u2013 Royal Enfield Americas. \u201cWatching the skill and race craft of all the BTR women evolve throughout the season has been incredible. The way they push each other and learn from each other is what&#8217;s raising the competition level with each round. After all this group has been through this season, the highs and lows, we&#8217;re sad to see it coming to a close, but we&#8217;re also looking forward to a hell of a final showdown at Barber.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41141 lazyload\" width=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-300x200.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-1024x682.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-768x512.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-600x400.jpeg.webp 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41141\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_BJNC8494_P-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Joe LiMandri Jr. finished second in the first of two SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup races at NJMP. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><p><em>The following is from LiMandri Racing&#8230;<\/em><\/p><p>Joseph LiMandri Jr. scored an epic second-place finish in last weekend&#8217;s MotoAmerica Junior Cup, missing the top spot by just .016 of a second. &nbsp;<\/p><p>&#8220;Finally we broke the streak of bad races!&#8221; LiMandri said. &nbsp;&#8220;I&#8217;m thankful for this result because the Bauce Racing and CyberSafe Solutions team deserves it for all the hard work they put in this weekend.&#8221;<\/p><p>The podium was a bit of a historic occasion as the top three riders all grew their roots with the New Jersey MiniGP program. &nbsp;&#8220;Seeing our kids up there all season long is awesome, but seeing the entire podium filled with our kids is just simply incredible,&#8221; Nathan Granoff, owner of NJMiniGP, said on his way to a locals-infested podium celebration.<\/p><p>LiMandri backed that result up with a strong, but drama-laden fourth palace&nbsp;in race 2. &nbsp; &#8220;That was a crazy race!&nbsp; I had to start from pit lane&nbsp;as I&nbsp;tipped over in the wet warmup, but a red flag after the start helped us out a bit&#8221; he said. &nbsp;&#8220;Maybe one more lap and I would have been battling for a podium spot, but we&#8217;ll take the points and head to Barber.&nbsp; It&#8217;s going to be difficult but the championship isn&#8217;t decided yet.&#8221;<\/p><p>It takes a whole support system to even get to the grid, much less the podium.&nbsp; The team recently onboarded SpaceJammit, a file storage\/sharing application with a unique&nbsp;space themed&nbsp;interface.&nbsp; SpaceJammit (with photo&nbsp;credits going to Brian J.

Since I don\u2019t have a lot of time at NJMP, I was very happy to achieve a front-row start. We knew the races would be difficult since so many riders were within a few seconds. In the first race, I got hit by two riders on the final lap, which ultimately cost me the podium. Going into the second race, I knew that I wanted to do something great. We went out for our second wet race of the season, and I was able to win by over 2.5 seconds in a shortened race! I am pleased with my results this weekend and happy to add another win to my championship chase. We were also able to close the gap to the leaders in the championship. The bike has not felt this good since the round at Ridge. I\u2019m super-happy that we have made this huge step forward going into the final round. We are ready for Barber Motorsports Park!\u201d said Kayla Yaakov.<\/p><p>\u201cAltus Motorsports had a great weekend. Sunday was a difficult day weather-wise, not knowing if it was going to be dry or wet during the races. Our mechanics worked hard and had bikes set up and ready for whatever the New Jersey skies threw our way. Everyone rode well on Saturday, but Sunday, they really showed their talent and skills.
