NEW JERSEY MOTORSPORTS PARK / MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY
P66
MOTOAMERICA AMA/FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP
straight usually finishes second
because the draft here is so
important," Paasch said. "If you
get the slipstream right you can
usually slingshot into the lead,
and that's what happened for
Barry today."
Barry's win was the first of his
RC Cup career in the dry, his
previous win coming at the same
circuit in the rain during round
three.
"Brandon was trying to get me
to go in front but I wasn't biting,"
Barry said with a smile. "Before
the last corner I was already
gaining on Brandon and the
straight was coming up quick, so
I just went for it and managed to
get the win."
Ashton Yates managed to get
the better of Smith for the final
podium place of the season and
will head to Assen for the KTM
RC Cup World Final on October
2 alongside Paasch and Anthony
Mazziotto III.
Mazziotto earned the ironman
award in New Jersey by doing
double duty in the RC Cup and
Superstock 600 category. The
championship runner-up took
7-6 results in the RC Cup at New
Jersey and backed it up with
strong 12-11 finishes on the Ya-
maha YZF-R6 for Jimmy Winters
Motorsports.
"Midrace yesterday on the
600 I was gassed out," said the
diminutive Mazziotto. "Today was
a lot better on both bikes and
I'm looking forward to getting up
there next year on the Super-
stock podium. I also can't wait
to get over to Assen for the RC
Cup final and I'm heading over
there with two of my buddies, so
I'm excited to go kick some ass!"
KTM and MotoAmerica used
the New Jersey round to renew
their partnership for next sea-
son, with MotoAmerica CEO
Wayne Rainey saying, "The
class is working just the way we
envisioned it and we've already
seen some of the kids making
the jump to the next level and
having success. I love watching
the progress of the kids both on
and off the track."
The 2016 title thus goes to
Paasch with 311 points ahead
of Mazziotto with 266. Ashton
Yates takes third at 239 over
Barry's 195 and Alejandro Guti-
errez with 142. CN
Jody Barry blasts
over the line to
take a calculated
win in race two.
