Gus Rodio: “What a weekend in front of the home crowd! I look forward to every weekend at the track, but this one’s always special. When all your people come together and support what you love it just hits different! A solid weekend leading every session but Race 2, where I finished P2. This was my first MotoAmerica podium in the rain with the fastest lap of the race. I was even able to get into the 29’s in the dry which has been a goal of mine for a long time. We’re now only 20 points out of the championship, after starting with 50 going into NJMP. Excited to attack Barber Motorsports Park!”
Gus heads to the season finale at Barber Motorsports Park in two weeks in 2nd place in the championship, 20 points behind the leader with 50 points available.
Anthony Mazziotto struggled early in Free Practice, but rebounded to 4th place in Q1, 0.673 seconds behind the fastest time. In Q2 Anthony shaved a bit of time but dropped to 6th place, 0.676 seconds behind. After setup changes, Mazziotto ran as high as 3rd place in the single REV’IT! Twins Cup race of the event, matching the fastest time of the race winner, but finished 5th after an encounter with a backmarker.
