Gilbert with 138.
Junior Cup
The already-crowned Rocco
Landers (Ninja400R.com/Norton
Motorsports/Dr. Farr Ninja 400)
was once again the dominant
Junior Cup rider at Barber, taking
year, and I think he would have
been there at the end. I'm really
grateful for the team behind me.
My crew chief, Derek Keyes, he's
been there basically three years
now. I wouldn't be here without
him. I just want to put it out to
him, my family for always believ-
ing in me. I feel bad for them.
Sixteen years of dealing with me
with racing. It's a dream come
true to be here and win the cham-
pionship this year, especially with
the competition we had. Hope-
fully, we have some good things
planned out for next year."
Race one's top five was
rounded out by Ashton Yates (Vic
Fasola Racing Yamaha) and Miles
Thornton (Altus Motorsports
Suzuki), while race two had Geoff
May (Ameris Bank Kawasaki) in
fourth from Thornton.
The final title points have Lee
two wins and hoisting his season
tally to 14 race wins in the clos-
est of the MotoAmerica classes,
proving what a talent he is.
Landers bested Dominic Doyle
(Bartcon Racing Kawasaki) and
Jackson Blackmon (Monkey-
Moto/AGVSport/Blud Lubricants
Kawasaki) in race one and Doyle
and Benjamin Gloddy (Quarterley
Racing/On Track Development
Kawasaki) in race two.
"I think I kind of had faster
pace today," Landers said after
race two. "I was just getting a
little more consistent with my
times. I saw a plus-one, and I
was like, 'Stay consistent and see
what we can do.' Then I had a
two-second gap. I was like, 'Just
maintain this.' I had a really good
first lap. It was a really, really, re-
ally fun race. Everyone was going
super-fast. It's super rad for Ben
[Gloddy] to get his first podium."
The final title points race has
Landers miles in front with 375
points ahead of Kevin Olmedo
with 227 and Dallas Daniels third
at 200.
Rocco Landers won
the Junior Cup yet
again, putting his
personal tally to 14
for the year.
