MotoAmerica Speedfest At Monterey

MONTEREY, CA – July 10, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Based on practice and qualifying at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, the Yuasa Stock 1000 race was set to be a thrill-fest of epic proportions. Corey Alexander, however, had a different idea of how the race would play out and he turned it into a blowout, the Tytlers Cycle/RideHVMC-backed New Yorker taking control from the get-go and never looking back.

The win was Alexander’s fourth in a row and fifth of the season and it gives him a 17-point lead over Hayden Gillim in the race for the MotoAmerica Yuasa Stock 1000 Championship.

Yuasa Stock 1000 – Alexander Dominates

The Yuasa Stock 1000 class had one race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and polesitter Alexander made the most of it. The Tytlers Cycle/RideHVMC Racing BMW rider expected a close battle at the front, but it never materialized, and Alexander led the 14-lap race from start to finish. The New Yorker’s gap at the checkered flag was nearly five seconds over second-place finisher Champ School BPR Racing Yamaha rider Bryce Prince, the former MotoAmerica regular returning to the paddock just for the Laguna Seca round. Disrupt Racing Suzuki’s Gillim, who is second to Alexander in the point standings, finished third.

“Once I saw plus three on my board, I kind of calmed down a little bit,” Alexander said. “Honestly, my whole plan was to kind of go out and ride a little more relaxed. I have a tendency when I go out those first couple laps just to over-ride and end up making mistakes, or just pushing a little bit too hard and ending up going slower. So, I was really forcing myself to go slower, but the times were coming a little bit easier that way. I just said I was going to go out there and ride the race and if those guys were coming with me, it was going to be a fun battle. If they weren’t, even better. That’s kind of how it turned out. Really just have to give a hats-off to the team because it wasn’t that easy yesterday. I was a little bit frustrated in Q1 just because we went around in circles a little bit. We made some pretty big changes and then went back to where we started and then went back again. So, that was a little bit tough. This morning we had our direction and things were working a lot better. Just happy to come away with that. Kind of like what I said at the last race – if I can just keep doing this,…
