Josh Hayes was fastest in rain-affected MotoAmerica Supersport practice at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Joseph LiMandri Jr. placed second, followed by Gus Rodio. Brenden Ketelsen and Josh Herrin completed the top five.
Josh Hayes, competing for BPR Racing Yamaha, recorded the quickest time in a rain-affected MotoAmerica Supersport practice session at New Jersey Motorsports Park on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Wet conditions made the session challenging for the field.
Joseph LiMandri Jr. of MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing finished second, while Rodio Racing’s Gus Rodio was third. Brenden Ketelsen, also with BPR Racing Yamaha, placed fourth, and Josh Herrin of Rahal Ducati Moto with Desnuda Organic Tequila completed the top five.
The result may shape how teams and riders approach the rest of the New Jersey weekend, especially if wet weather continues. Fans and series organizers could see increased interest from a mixed-conditions session, while competitors may gain confidence or data for setup decisions. Local businesses around the track may also benefit from event attendance, though the direct societal effect is likely limited to the motorsport community and its audience.
