Wheels In Motion/
MotoSport.com/ Meen Yamaha's Josh Herrin and Joe Roberts continued their
hunt for MotoAmerica championships at round three of the inaugural
MotoAmerica season in Virginia. Coming off an impressive podium weekend
at Road Atlanta, both Herrin and Roberts were poised to repeat their
performances.
The Meen team duo did not
disappoint on Saturday, capturing a pair of first place podium finishes.
In Supersport race one, Herrin orchestrated a flawless race. Hot on
pole setter Yamalube/ Y.E.S./ Graves Yamaha JD Beach's trail, Herrin put
together a perfect last lap and passed Beach three corners before the
finish line for the win. Roberts also kicked off his weekend landing on
the top of the box. In Bazzaz Superstock 600 race one, Roberts started
on pole and had a great battle with Mexico Concept Store's Richie
Escalante. Roberts lead all but one lap, finishing 2.4 seconds over
Escalante, taking his third straight win for the MotoAmerica season.
Sunday
posed some challenges for the Meen Team. Supersport race two started
off as a repeat of Saturday's race with Herrin once again shadowing
Beach's every move. Making the same pass as in race one, Herrin led
briefly and then finished third in front of M4's David Anthony. Bazzaz
Superstock 600 race two came to unfortunate end quickly for the Meen
Team when Roberts crashed in lap four. Roberts was unhurt but due to his
Yamaha R6's condition, he was unable to remount.
The
Wheels In Motion/ MotoSport.com/ Meen Yamaha is now heading to Road
America third in the Supersport championship with Josh Herrin trailing
by just 7 points and 2nd in the Superstock championship with Joe Roberts
trailing by 2 points. Roberts and Herrin are both very familiar with
the 4.048 mile course and the Team has had good success at Road America
in the past.
