Jacobsen Fastest in Rain-Affected New Jersey Superbike Practice
PJ Jacobsen set the quickest time in Saturday's rain-affected MotoAmerica Superbike practice at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Mathew Scholtz was second, followed by Benjamin Smith, Cameron Beaubier, and Bobby Fong.
PJ Jacobsen, competing for Rahal Ducati Moto with XPEL, set the fastest time in Saturday’s rain-affected MotoAmerica Superbike practice at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Mathew Scholtz was second for Strack Racing, with Benjamin Smith and Cameron Beaubier of Warhorse HSBK Ducati FLo4Law third and fourth, and Bobby Fong of Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing fifth.
The New Jersey event is the MotoAmerica season finale. Related coverage noted overcast conditions and a four-way battle, while earlier sessions saw Beaubier lead timed practice and provisional poles for Gillim in Baggers and Gouker in Talent Cup.
This result may matter most to MotoAmerica riders, teams, and fans following the season finale, since wet practice can influence setup decisions and qualifying confidence. A quick time could give Jacobsen and his team useful momentum, while rivals may need to adapt. For the broader public, the impact is likely limited to entertainment and local event activity, though rain-affected competition can spotlight rider skill and safety.
