PJ Jacobsen will start the MotoAmerica Supersport race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course from pole position. Riding his Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Panigale V2 on Dunlop control tires, the title contender turned a 1:27.427 to lead Qualifying One (Q1) on Friday. Overnight rain reduced the available grip during Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday morning, and Jacobsen’s time from Friday held up to earn him the pole position.

Mathew Scholtz, the current Championship point leader, will launch his Strack Racing Yamaha YZF-R6 from second on the grid based on the 1:27.590 he did in Q1.

Likewise, the 1:27.885 Jake Lewis did on his Altus Motorsports Suzuki GSX-R750 in Q1 earned him the third and final spot on the front row.

Blake Davis (1:27.905) will start fourth on his N2 Racing/BobbleHeadMoto Yamaha.

EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing Suzuki rider Maxi Gerardo (1:27.999) was fifth-fastest overall.

In spite of the inferior track conditions, Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott was able to improve his lap time from 1:28.526 on Friday to a 1:28.188 on Saturday, and that moved Scott up to sixth — and from row three to row two of the grid.

Scott’s improvement bumped Jacobsen’s teammate Kayla Yaakov (1:28.428) from sixth to seventh and from row two to row three.

Semi-retired wild card entrant Larry Pegram, age 51, qualified eighth with a 1:28.659 on a EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing Suzuki.

Tytlers Cycle Racing Kawasaki ZX-6R rider Stefano Mesa improved from 1:28.706 in Q1 to 1:28.703 in Q2, and he will start ninth.
