Rocco Landers, age 18, will start the MotoAmerica Supersport races from pole position this weekend at Brainerd International Raceway, in Brainerd, Minnesota.

Landers, riding his Landers Racing Yamaha YZF-R6 as a wild card entry, was fastest during Qualifying One (Q1) on Friday with a lap time of 1:33.254, and that time held up during Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday, earning him pole position.

Veteran Josh Hayes led Q2 with a time of 1:33.486 on his Squid Hunter Racing Yamaha YZF-R6, but Hayes will start from second on the grid based on the 1:33.315 he did in Q1 on Friday.

Unlike Landers and Hayes, Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Teagg Hobbs did go faster in Q2, improving from 1:34.289 on Friday to 1:33.802 on Saturday, securing the third and final spot on the front row of the grid.
