CHAMPIONSHIP VOL. 55 ISSUE 34 AUGUST 28, 2018 P77 Race two saw Dumas hold off Ventura and Jackson Blackmon (Riderzlaw Racing Yamaha), Kevin Olmedo (MonkeyMoto/AGVSPORT Yamaha) and Toby Khamsouk (Toby K Racing Yamaha) making it four Yamahas in the top five in the best result yet for Yamaha in the 2018 series. Dumas leads the series on 236 points from Yates' 172, Ventura is third on 165 from Jay Newton (Mon- keyMoto/AGVSPORT Yamaha) on 129 and Sean Ungvarsky (KTM Orange Brigade/Ghilliman Racing KTM) on 125. STOCK 1000 It's amazing what confidence will do for a rider. After taking his first national-level race win at the previous round at Sonoma, Andrew Lee (RiderzLaw Racing/Kawa- saki) proved why he's in the box will be crowned the first MotoAmer- ica Junior Cup Champion. "This weekend has been incredi- ble for me," said Dumas. "I'm happy because I won the race and got 25 more points for the championship. My KTM RC390R just went so well this weekend. We made a lot of changes, even all the weekend. I had a good holeshot in the first part of the race. I was able to do a big lap in the half lap, and then there was a red flag, so I just put my head down for the second part. Some guys just passed me, and I was just putting my head down and trying to be in front." Dumas took the race one win over the impressive Damian Jigalov (BARTCON Racing Kawasaki) and Cory Ventura (MP13 Racing Ya- maha) with Yates in fourth and Utah race-two winner Renzo Ferreira (Quarterly Racing Kawasaki) in fifth. Andrew Lee (14) dominated the Stock 1000 class.
