ROBERTS RULES
No matter what you threw at Joe
Roberts at Miller Motorsports Park,
the end result was the same—winning.
The Wheels In Motion/Motorsport.
com/Meen Yamaha, once again,
dominated the Superstock 600 class,
pulling off the double—his eighth win
this season and extending his champi-
onship lead over Richie Escalante by
37 points.
"I really love this track," Roberts
said. "It's one of my favorites we come
to. It's really, I'd say a rider's track.
You have to be super fast and flowy
through these corners. You can't
really treat it like Barber or anything
where you're charging the corners all
the time. It's very much just keeping
the flow and keeping a cool head
around here."
Roberts certainly kept his cool over
the hot weekend in Tooele, Utah. The
Californian amassed a healthy lead in
race one, only to start from scratch
again in a five-lap sprint. In the end, it
was still Roberts with the win.
Behind Roberts was Michael Gil-
berts on the HB Racing Yamaha (his
first-ever podium), and Tuned Racing
Yamaha's Bryce Prince.
While the red flag was a headache
for Roberts it was a lucky break for
Escalante, who was dropping back
through the pack due to an over-
heating issue. The restart allowed
Gerloff (31),
Josh Herrin
(2) and Bobby
Fong (50)
battled for
the remaining
podium spots.
