Even when the tire was completely smoked, my Dunlops held up so well. It’s a bit late for the championship at this point, but Landers seems determined to win races, and he talked about it: “That’s the plan. Herrin, in turn, finished a little more than six-and-a-half seconds over third-place finisher Tyler Scott aboard his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki. Landers crossed the finish line more than six-and-a-half seconds ahead of Herrin, who lamented that he and his team made a wrong tire choice for the race. The Landers Racing Yamaha rider won his third straight race, and once again, it was by a wide margin. The Supersport Championship looks like it will be won by Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC rider Josh Herrin, but contender Rocco Landers has definitely not given up the fight. We’ve got to take everything that we can get.” Supersport – Landers Rolls On We just got to keep our head down, be smart, and just keep the bike on two wheels and take what we can get, even if it’s not a win. These boys are getting up there and keeping us honest. But it’s going to be a dog fight the next three races. So, it’s tough to see, being second, third, fourth to that. Corey has won every single race he’s been up here. So, I’m getting my goal complete, but now we’re fighting for a championship and all those little points that we’re losing are costing us. So far, I’ve done that, other than the one race at Road America when I had a problem with the bike. “I set a goal for myself that I would finish every single race. “When I decided to do this full-time this year,” Gillim said. Altus Motorsports Suzuki rider Brandon Paasch finished third for his second straight podium result.
Runner-up in race one went to Cycle World/Octane/Chuckwalla Racing Suzuki fill-in rider Andrew Lee, who is substituting for injured team rider and owner Michael Gilbert. Gillim’s victory, his third of the year, moved him to within 14 points of Alexander. The Disrupt Racing Suzuki rider got the win, while Alexander experienced technical problems that resulted in a 10th-place finish. For championship challenger Hayden Gillim, that’s exactly what he did. Yuasa Stock 1000 race one started off the day, and with only four races left in the Championship (two at Pitt Race and one each at New Jersey Park and Barber Motorsports Park), if anyone is going to catch points leader Corey Alexander, the time is now to win races. With three races left, including tomorrow’s race two at Pitt Race, Gillim could clinch the title by winning all three races – even if Alexander finishes second in each of the three. With Tytlers Cycle/RideHVMC’s Alexander dropping from the lead to ultimately finish 10 th when mechanical problems wrecked his race, Gillim is now just 14 points out of the lead.
