Mathew Scholtz has one hand on the 2024 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship trophy after he won Race Two Sunday at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) and his only title rival experienced some bad luck.
Scholtz, riding his Strack Racing Yamaha YZF-R6 on Dunlop control tires, fought his way to the front and was able to win the 11-lap race by two seconds.
Tyler Scott led at points on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750, but he had to settle for second place in the scorching hot conditions.
N2 Racing/BobbleHeadMoto Yamaha rider Blake Davis backed up his podium performance in Race One with a third place, 0.4 second behind Scott, in Race Two.
Corey Alexander came back from a slow start to claim fourth on his Rahal Ducati Moto w/Roller Die + Forming Panigale V2.
Race One winner Jake Lewis didn’t have the winning pace in Race Two and the best he could do was fifth, right behind Alexander, on his Altus Motorsports Suzuki.
The big news in Race Two, however, was the crash of Scholtz’s Championship rival PJ Jacobsen. Jacobsen was running third on his Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Panigale V2, right behind Scott, on the final lap when he lost the front and fell two corners from the finish.
Jacobsen was able to pick up his Ducati and return to the race, but he crossed the line 19th and out of the points. As a result, Scholtz’s lead in the Championship point standings went from 14 to 39 points with two races and 50 possible points remining.
