#SPEED RACER THE NEXT GENERATION PROFESSIONAL#

The 2022 season marks Team HammerвЂ™s 42nd consecutive year of operating as a professional road racing team. Team Hammer will be back in action later this month as the MotoAmerica season resumes at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, on June 24-26. I am really looking forward to the next race.вЂќ

I will keep training and pushing to go faster. I am very happy with the team and the bike but feel I need more experience to keep improving. вЂњEven a small change makes a big difference. вЂњThe team is working very hard to help me, especially with the changes to the bike,вЂќ the Superbike rookie continued. I was happy to finish these races, but I had never ridden a Superbike in wet conditions before and that was difficult today.вЂќ After our test in Pittsburgh, I came into the weekend looking to take the next step.

Richie Escalante (54) rode his GSX-R1000R Superbike in adverse weather for the first time at Road America. Superbike class rookie teammate Richie Escalante, meanwhile, was sixth in the first corner before claiming 15th at the checkered flag. IвЂ™m looking forward to us working hard these next few weeks, so we improve going into the Ridge.вЂќ The result isnвЂ™t what I or the team wanted but we played it safe and got some points. вЂњI usually like that but the track dried so fast, three laps in I thought my tire was gone. вЂњIt was a tough race because the conditions were mixed,вЂќ said Lewis. Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR SuzukiвЂ™s Jake Lewis positioned himself as high as fourth early before ultimately keeping his GSX-R1000R upright and bringing it home in seventh position. The MotoAmerica Superbike race was then contested in arguably even more tricky conditions as the track proved too wet for slicks initially but steadily dried throughout the contest.ДЄfter a seventh-place finish in Race 2 for Jake Lewis (85), he is looking forward to improving the bike settings in the coming weeks. Grant has already shown steady progress in his first season with Team Hammer as he continues to advance his skills.

However, Suzuki still made its presence felt on the Supersport podium as 3D Motorsports LLC SuzukiвЂ™s Luke Power expertly guided his all-new next-generation GSX-R750 to second position. ScottвЂ™s Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki teammate, Sam Lochoff, had a difficult day as well his race ended before it ever started due to an ECU problem that appeared on the warm-up lap. Sam Lochoff (44) had some misfortune in his warm-up lap in Race 2 but is building off the experience from Road America. I had a great weekend, got a win, and once again I learned a lot.вЂќ The rear came around on me in the next corner and that was it.

вЂњAnother rider put an aggressive move on me, and I got off my line. The guys at the front had an outstanding pace going for the conditions and the race was going very well for me as I was trying to keep up with the group.вЂќ вЂњThen I got shuffled back a few spots and I was trying to concentrate on the riders I am battling with in the championship. вЂњThe race started pretty well,вЂќ Scott said.

Off line in the slick conditions, the youngster suffered a fall in the very next corner. However, he was nearly pushed off track by another rider in an errant encounter a few corners later. That fight went deep into the contest with Scott mounting a charge with three laps remaining, diving up into third position in Turn 5 with less than three laps remaining. The 16-year-old earned the holeshot from pole and then settled into a battle for the podium in the treacherous wet conditions aboard his GSX-R750.
