ROAD RACING AMA/FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 5 / JUNE 14-16, 2019 UTAH MOTORSPORTS CAMPUS / ERDA, UTAH P90 calante at 107, Jacobsen is fourth at 103 and Kelly is fifth at 102. Junior Cup Rocco Landers (Ninja400R. com/Norton Motorsports/Dr. Farr) took pole and won his sixth race in seven starts in the Liqui Moly Junior Cup Championship in race one, besting archrival Dallas Daniels (Quarterley Rac- ing/On Track Development Ka- wasaki) by 0.142 seconds. For Daniels, it was another podium place but another time—the fifth in six races—that he's finished behind Landers. Kevin Olmedo (Altus Motorsports Kawasaki) change, but I was sizing it up at least going out of the corner onto the start/finish line," Fong said. I knew for sure that if I could get a good drive, I could get him closer to the start/finish line. Thank God it paid off." Celtic HSBK Racing's PJ Jacobsen finished third when Fong's teammate Sean Dylan Kelly, who looked to have the fi- nal spot on the podium clinched, experienced a mechanical issue on the last lap. Gillim now leads the cham- pionship by seven points over Fong, 142 to 135. Third sits Es- P.J. Jacobsen fifth on the Celtic HSBK Racing Yamaha. Race two was another good one, only this time Fong got his own back for one of the closest finishes in MotoAmerica Super- sport history—0.003 of a sec- ond—after getting the better on Gillim out of the final corner and drafting past for the win. Gillim had studiously pro- tected the inside line through- out the race, outbraking Fong almost everywhere and hold- ing the lead right until the very death of the race. "The plan, it did definitely Bobby Fong (50) and Hayden Gillim (69) were once again the class of the field, splitting the wins between them. Sean Dylan Kelly (40) once again impressed with fourth and fifth places.
