That’s A Wrap On The 2022 MotoAmerica Championship As
Alabama Finale Concludes
BIRMINGHAM, AL – September 26, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – As the saying goes, “save the best for last,” and that was certainly the case with MotoAmerica’s support-class races at Barber Motorsports Park. The final race of the weekend, and final race of the entire 2022 MotoAmerica Championship, was in SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup.

About finally getting his first victory of the season in the final race, De Keyrel said, “Not really surprised at all, man. The Twins Cup class really stepped it up this year. We’ve been going a second to two seconds faster per lap at every single track we went to. I improved as a…
