Storm Halts MotoAmerica Track Activity at New Jersey Motorsports Park
A severe storm across the northeastern United States stopped all MotoAmerica on-track activity at New Jersey Motorsports Park while officials assessed whether racing could continue. Saturday's action included at least one red flag, and qualifying plus the Mission King of the Baggers Challenge were cancelled as the schedule was changed. The Superbike title remained undecided, with Sean Dylan Kelly two points ahead of Bobby Fong before the final race.
A storm moving through the northeastern U.S. forced MotoAmerica to pause every on-track session at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Officials were evaluating whether conditions would allow racing to resume. Saturday’s program was disrupted by at least one red flag, and organizers revised the schedule, dropping qualifying and the Mission King of the Baggers Challenge.
The only title still unsettled was Quad Lock Superbike. Sean Dylan Kelly held a two-point edge over Bobby Fong going into the final race. Images from the event showed flooding on the front straight and riders competing in rain during Superbike Race One.
The delay may affect riders, teams, and fans who traveled to New Jersey, as altered schedules could reduce track time and change championship dynamics. Local businesses near the venue might see uneven crowds if sessions are cancelled or postponed. Broadcasters and series officials could face logistical challenges, while supporters of the title contenders may experience added uncertainty before the final Superbike race.
