TOOELE, UTAH, JUNE 27—NCR’s Gage McAllister won his fourth MotoAmerica KTM RC390 Cup, taking the checkered flag by .048 of a second over Justin McWilliams and Hayden Schultz.
The best race of the day, the battle for the lead was reminiscent of a World Championship Moto3 race, with a lead pack of nine riders and multiple lead changes throughout the nine-lap race. In the end, McAllister’s near perfect record—winning all but one race this season—extended his points lead to 52.
McWilliams second-place finish was his first podium of the season, while Schultz’ third-place finish helped secure his second-place spot in the title-chase.
In fourth was Braedon Ortt ahead of Jimmy Winters Motorsports’ Anthony Mazziotto III and Cool Breeze Racing’s Josh Serne.
Also apart of the mix for the win, Mini GP Mexico’s Alejandro Gutierrez fell back to finish seventh in the hotly-contested race. Next it was the Brandons—Brandon Paasch and Brandon Altmeyer. Rounding out the top 10 was Jody Barry.
