KurveyGirl.com brings you the results of this weekend’s events.
Hayden Gillim won MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Race One Saturday at New Jersey Motorsports Park, in Millville, New Jersey.
Gillim, the defending Champion and current point leader, led from the first lap on his Real Steel Motorsports Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. Meanwhile, Jayson Uribe, Gillim’s primary title rival, worked his way up from eighth on the grid to catch pole-sitter Gillim by lap 10 of 14.
On lap 11, Gillim ran out onto the wet exit curbing at the final corner and nearly crashed coming onto the front straightaway. Gillim saved the near-crash, but it allowed Uribe and his OrangeCat Racing BMW M 1000 RR to power into the lead.
Gillim was able to dig deep, catch back up to Uribe, and make a bold pass on the final lap to take the victory.
With the win, Gillim’s lead in the Championship points went from seven to 12, meaning he doesn’t have to beat Uribe in Race Two to claim the crown.
Uribe pushed to the end but came up 0.026 second short at the finish.
Benjamin Smith, riding his FLO4LAW Racing Yamaha, came back from contact with Ashton Yates and an off-track excursion to place third.
Danilo Lewis converted the holeshot into fourth place on his Team Brazil BMW.
Nolan Lamkin rounded out the top five finishers on his Visit Indiana/Tom Wood Powersports BMW.
