Beach Wins & Gerloff Is Second In MotoAmerica Supersport Race 1 At New Jersey To Set Up Sunday Season Finale
Millville, NJ – September 10, 2016 – Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.)/Graves/Yamaha rider and defending MotoAmerica Supersport Champion JD Beach won Saturday’s Supersport Race 1 at New Jersey Motorsports Park, while current points leader Garrett Gerloff finished second to set the stage for the final race of the season, which will decide the Championship between the two teammates.
JD started from the pole, and Garrett was right next to him on the front row of the grid. The bLU cRU tandem got off the line perfectly, and in the same order, with JD getting the holeshot. During the race, Garrett tried a couple of times to make a pass on JD, but he was unable to make it stick and, as the laps wound down, backmarkers came into play. JD made some well-timed passes on slower riders, while Garrett was balked a couple of times, which was all it took for JD to widen his gap and force Garrett to settle for second place.
JD crossed the finish line a little more than four seconds ahead of Garrett, which broke the 6-6 tie in race wins between the teammates. Garrett goes into Sunday’s race with a nine-point lead over JD, so the MotoAmerica Supersport finale is sure to be a barn-burner.
After his win, JD said, “With the points gap to Garrett, I’ve got to do what I can and play all the tricks in the book. That’s what I did today, and I kept my Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha in the lead the whole race. Hopefully tomorrow, we can mix it up a little bit, too. I’ve got to get the win, and then we’ll see what happens from there.”
Garrett commented, “I never settle for second, but some lappers spoiled my plan a little bit. But, they have their own race to worry about, so I can’t fault them. Still, I’m happy with how the day went, and I’m ready to go out tomorrow and have some fun.”
MotoAmerica Supersport Race 2 will go green from New Jersey tomorrow afternoon at 2:45 PM.
