Joey Pascarella returns to the CIV/Italian Championship after securing extended sponsorship with JonBlockPHD.com Following noteworthy results at Misano aboard his Pirelli-shod Yamaha YZF R6, Joey has his eyes on another podium position stating, “My last round at Misano went very well. Our 3rd place result (round 3, race 1) was our first podium. It was one of the most challenging races so far – I was very happy about the finish. This is my first visit to the Mugello circuit and I’m feeling strong going into it. My team (Ciatti Racing / Ele2 Promotion) and I believe we have effectively shortened the team’s learning curve; we’re prepared to run at/near the front.” Earlier this month, Pascarella impressed many of his fans and sponsors by dominating the 600cc classes at Infineon Raceway (Sonoma, CA). These impressive results influenced additional support from both CT Racing and the JonBlockPHD.com group. “I want to thank my individual and corporate sponsors, (JonBlockPHD.com, CT Racing, Ciatti Racing / ele2 Promotion, Cortech, FMF, Shoei, Pirelli, Ken Hill Coaching, Yamaha School of Champions, Zero Gravity, GPR, CRG, Galfer, FBW, Spider Grips, BG Racing, Full Specturm Batteries) and everyone else who has helped me throughout this season; none of this would be happening without your support!” Kurt Burgess, Business Development, Jon E.
