Wheels in Motion/Motosport.com/Meen Yamaha’s Joe Roberts will start the first-ever MotoAmerica Superstock 600cc race from pole position Saturday at Road Atlanta.
A wet racetrack during final qualifying Saturday morning resulted in no riders going faster than they did during provisional qualifying, held on a relatively dry track, on Friday. Roberts, age 17, was quickest then with a 1:32.735 on his new Yamaha YZF-R6.
Also starting on the front row will be Escalante Racing Yamaha’s Richie Escalante (1:34.094) and Tuned Racing Yamaha’s Bryce Prince (1:34.855).
A total of 30 riders recorded qualifying times in Superstock 600cc.
The 16-lap race is scheduled to run at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
