SHUBENACADIE, NS -- Jordan Szoke locked up the Yoshimura Pro 600 Sport Bike title at Atlantic Motorsport Park with a third place finish in Sunday’s race on his Canadian Kawasaki Motors Kawasaki ZX-6R.
Chris Peris claimed the win on a Team Suzuki / Blackfoot / Picotte Racing Suzuki GSX-R600 after Saturday’s race winner Andrew Nelson (Nelson Racing Yamaha YZF-R6) crashed out of the lead on lap 12 of the 18-lap race.
“To defend any championship is pretty cool,” said Szoke after clinching his third straight Pro 600 crown. “This takes a lot of pressure off us and we can go to the last round and hang it out a little.”
Brett McCormick was second in the race on another Canadian Kawasaki Motoros Kawasaki ZX-6R, 7.482 secs. behind Peris.
Nelson rebounded to win the Canadian Thunder race on his NCR-Ducati 848 and keep the championship alive heading to the final round at Shannonville Motorsport Park Aug. 29-31.
The Kars, Ont. rider finished 5.472 secs. ahead of teammate Valter Bartolini, with Erick Beausejour of Val D’Or, Que. third on a KTM Canada KTM Super Duke R 990.
Bartolini, from Bologna, Italy, now has 256 points to the 209 of Nelson.
Jim Proulx of Ottawa wrapped up the Canadian Sport Twins title after a second place finish in the race on his Buell XB12R. Surrey, BC’s Olivier Spilborghs won on Sunday aboard a Buell XB9R.
Keene, ON’s Jodi Christie won his third Armour Bodies Amateur 600 Sport Bike race of the year on his Yamaha YZF-R6 but a second place finish by Calgary’s Patrick Marques on his Suzuki GSX-R600 kept the title race alive. Christie takes a 43-point lead over Marques, 250-207, heading to the Shannonville finale.
Martin Grande placed third on a Suzuki GSX-R600. The Montreal rider actually crossed the line in second but was penalized five seconds for a jump start.
Cody Matechuk of Cochrane, AB closed to within two points of the lead in the Suzuki SV650 National Cup with his second win of the weekend. The 15-year-old finished 14.282 secs. ahead of series leader John Jarvie of Burlington, ON.
Jarvie heads to Shannonville with 281 points to the 279 of Matechuk.
Raphael Archambault of St-Colomban, QC clinched the Honda CBR125R Challenge title with his fourth win in four races this season.
