ROAD RACE ROUND 6 / JULY 20-22, 2018 UTAH MOTORSPORTS CAMPUS / TOOLE, UTAH P90 MOTOAMERICA ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP there. Man, it really was a great race. I'm 41 years old, and it's hot. Man, I'm ready to sit down." In the series, Parrish leads with 110 over Madama's 83, Ryan Roth is third at 36, Diaz fourth with 33 and Curtis Murray fifth with 32. JUNIOR CUP The Liqui Moly Junior Cup again saw two of the most frantic races of the program, with a new face making his presence felt. The race-one script went according to the championship plan, with KTM Orange Brigade/ JP43 Training rider Alex Dumas notching pole position and his sixth victory of the season over Ashton Yates on the Yates Racing Kawasaki and MP13 Racing/ Yamaha's Cory Ventura credited with third after Jamie Astudillo (Quarterley Racing/On Track Development Kawasaki), who crossed the line third on track, was docked one second for weaving on the straight and thus (Altus Motorsports/Yamaha FZ- 07/MT-07), who crashed while battling for the lead. Parrish thus took the victory over pole sitter Danielle Diaz (Danielle Diaz Racing Kawasaki Ninja 650), who borrowed Mo- toAmerica operations manager Niccole Cox's own machine for the event. Third went to a name familiar to Cycle News readers: Fillice. Not Jimmy, this time it was his son Justin at the controls, as he piloted the Team Legacy Rac- ing/Suzuki SV650 to third in his return to road racing after a near- decade-long hiatus. "I didn't know Jason (Madama) had crashed until the final couple of laps," Parrish said. "I expected him to come around me near the end, but I tucked in and did my own race. I don't know how fast the last lap was, but I just kept going. I finally did turn around to see how tough it would be at the start/finish line, and he wasn't over Wyman in the standings. Fourth went to Chad Swain (Hustle Hard Racing BMW S 1000 RR) with Jeremy Coffey Superbike Underground BMW S 1000 RR) rounding out the top five. "This was a fun weekend," said Lewin. "I've gotten on a bike about four times in the last three years. I started riding it about six months ago because of my good friend Jason Pridmore. I'm kind of doing this race off a dare, but ob- viously, I'm a racer at heart, and I didn't want to get second so I just sent it in there and it worked out." In the standings, Lee holds firm with 80 points from Wyman's 59, Shane Richardson with 38, Timothy Bemisderfer with 34 and Stephen Incledon at 30. TWINS CUP Ghetto Customs Suzuki rider Chris Parrish took his second victory of the season at Utah to stretch his championship lead to 27 points over Jason Madama Jason Madama held the advantage early in the Twins race but the win would go to Parrish (128).
