DEBISE DECLARED UNFIT TO RACE AT NEW JERSEY MOTORSPORTS PARK

Valentin Debise has been declared unfit to race today at New Jersey Motorsports Park by MotoAmerica medical officer Dr. Ray Rossi due to lingering effects of a concussion suffered in Supersport Race 2 at Pittsburgh International Race Complex two weeks ago.

Debise will be re-evaluated Sunday morning to determine whether or not he will be cleared to race.
