Robert Jensen earned contingency checks from Yamaha and Suzuki for a pair of wins Thursday at the WERA Grand National Finals at Road Atlanta, but Kris Wall earned the most race wins, four.

MSP Cycles’ Wall rode his sleeved-down Suzuki SV600 to victories in Clubman Expert and D Superbike Expert before he won the Lightweight Twins Expert (which paid Suzuki contingency money) and Formula Two Expert races on his Pirelli-shod Suzuki SV650.

Butler Machinery’s Jensen rode his Michelin-shod Suzuki GSX-R750 to beat the talent-laden B Superstock Expert field, and he came back a few hours later to win the C Superstock Expert race on his Yamaha YZF-R6.

Each win also earned Jensen and Wall WERA Sportsman National Championships in the winner-take-all run-offs.
