[COVERAGE] MotoAmerica: New Jersey
September 18th, 2021 by Elusive MediaMotoAmerica returns to New Jersey! The 2.25Mile track has made some improvements since last year. Turn 3, 8 and 10 had payment patches replaced along with sealer along the whole track at Thunderbolt. It made for some great racing this weekend, especially with the Superbike Triple header(and fantastic weather)! We also so saw the return of Josh Herrin after catching covid before the last round. Two months away from racing, but after race one, he was able to get back on the podium for race two and three. Toni Elias was able to fight off Bobby Fong, with less than 2 tenth of a second splitting them for third in race one. Jake Gagne and Mathew Scholtz were able to secure 1st and 2nd for all three races! At the end of race weekend, Jake Gagne was able to secure his 16th straight win! And after this 2nd race he was able to secure his first Superbike Championship! Congratulations to the whole Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha team!

[COVERAGE] MotoAmerica New Jersey Round 9
September 14th, 2018 by Elusive MediaMotoAmerica continues at New Jersey Motorsports Park with many championships ready to be clinched, but with heavy rain and winds, mother nature wasn’t going to make it easy! This weekend reminded me of my first time attending MotoGP back in 2008 at Indianapolis, a Tropical storm race day. In this occasion, this was my first time attending MotoAmerica and both days mother nature was relentless in not giving us a dry race, But this did not stop everyone from viewing some top class racing. It’s still amazing me every time witness see a wet race and how fast these rides can go lap after lap on the edge. The next time you see a bad forecast for a race weekend at MotoAmerica, don’t worry, racing will continue and you will be in awe!
Congrats to Cameron Beaubier (Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing) for taking this years 2018 Motul Superbike Championship (His third time), Alex Dumas (Monster Energy/Yamaha Extended Service/Graves/Yamaha) to clinching his Liqui Moly Junior Cup Championship and Andrew Lee (KTM Orange Brigade/JP43 Training) for securing his Stock 1000 Championship!
A special shout-out to Roger Hayden! He’s retiring after the next round in MotoAmerica and 20 years of racing motorcycles competitively. It was fantastic to see him race over the years along with seeing him racing in some wildcards in the past; MotoGP and Moto2. This also marks an end of an era for the 3 Hayden brothers. I will miss cheering them on from either the TV or attending a race!
