IN THE WIND P24 MCALLISTER TAKES SUPERMOTO TITLE I t was a day for crowning cham- pions at the AMA Supermoto National Championship Series finale on Saturday, October 22, at Musselman Honda Circuit in Tucson, Arizona. The first to be crowned was RSR KTM's Gage McAllister, who clinched his third-straight title in the premier class with a win in the first Pro Open main. He then went on to win another in the second main, a perfect way to wrap up the season, especially after a rough weekend at the penultimate round in Denver. "It feels good," McAllister said. "It's been a long month or so since Denver, not being able to wrap it up there early. I've just been thinking a lot, but it was good. I had it mostly wrapped up, so I just had to be consistent. Really, I just had to finish. So being able to wrap it up with a win and then finish it off with another win was really cool. I like this track a lot and it was cool to get a nice battle in on that last race with some new guys up front. Racing my team- mate Dustin [Hoffman] is always fun, so it was a cool way to end the season." McAllister's teammate Dustin Hoffman finished off his sea- son with a pair of second-place finishes and was able to secure the runner-up spot in the cham- pionship, as well. Joining the RSR KTM duo on the podium in both races was Six-Four Motors- ports' Shane Narbonne. Australian Josh McLean fin- ished just outside the podium in the first main, crossing the line fourth on the Lean Six Sigma Racing Husqvarna. Complet- ing the top five was RSR KTM's Eric Stump. In the second main it was Stump followed by Tyler Gage McAllister wrapped up his third AMA Supermoto title at the Tucson final.
