Mathew Scholtz (Strack Racing
Yamaha) moved 21 points clear
of PJ Jacobsen (Rahal Ducati)
in the Motovation Supersport
title
race following a dominant
weekend in which the South
African took pole position and
two race
wins.
Race one saw Scholtz tri-
umph by the relatively massive
gap of 10
seconds over team-
mate Blake Davis after the
teenager refused
to back down
long time. I was pushing as hard
as I could the entire race.
Fong waved the white flag
on the final lap and finished 1.1
seconds behind in second, with
Herrin a despondent 14 seconds
off Beaubier's winning pace,
the result putting him 22 points
off Fong heading into New
Jersey's final tripleheader. Kelly
once again grabbed a top five
in fourth, getting the better of
Gagne in their race-long battle.
Fong's title lead is now just
eight points from Beaubier,

retaking
the lead, one he would
not surrender as he romped to

win and another five-point swing
in the title race.
"Everything flashed in front
of my eyes [when he almost
crashed]," Beaubier said. "All the
hard work we've been putting in.
The front end came back, thank

fully. I was struggling pretty
bad with
the front end there in
some of the long right-handers.
My gap just started closing, a
tenth by a tenth. Bob [Fong] was
closing in on me. That was a
really, really hard race. I haven't
had that hard of a race in a long,
