JENNINGS, FLA. – Josh Day was victorious in an intense two-rider battle that came down to a last lap pass for the win Friday in the USGPRU 125GP at Jennings GP. Day used his home track knowledge to make the perfect inside pass in the last turn to set him up for to lead Stewart Aitken-Cade on the final lap. The back-and-forth battle lasted all 16 laps of the main event with Aitken-Cade pulling out all the tricks in the book in an attempt to regain the lead. But Day was able to turn his fastest lap of the race and hold off Aitken-Cade for the win. “After Josh passed me in the last set of turns, I thought I had the race in the bag” said Aitken-Cade, the series president from Odenton, MD. “I drafted along side Josh on the back straight, but had to roll out of the throttle when he came across my front tire. I tried again at about turn 8, but nearly high-sided twice and each time he just stepped a few more feet away. Darn lightweight 15 year-olds!!” Dave Celento rode his Honda RS125 to a first time podium finish. Johnny “Wonder” Klaras valiantly rode to a fourth place finish after a violent high-side during the morning qualifying forced him to start at the back of the grid. The 250 GP race had Josh Day starting on pole riding his Yamaha 250, followed by Mark Brown and then Aitken-Cade. Day and Brown took off at the start, followed by Tom Fournier. Day and Brown proceeded to break away from the pack and battled for the rest of the race. Day put his head down, and was able to finally beat his mentor at his home track. Margin of victory was a whopping 8.6 seconds. Further back in the pack, Aitken-Cade, Celento, Fournier, and Mike Wright battled for the final podium spot. Despite many attempts by Celento, Aitken-Cade was able to retain the lead and captured third place by less than half a second.
