Ransomville, NY-- NPS Racings James Rispoli making his AMA Pro SuperSport debut did the seemingly impossible. With only his crew chief and helper the team faced several challenges all weekend long and still managed to take a fourth place finish overall. With rule specifications that appeared different from the beginning of the season, the team had to scramble to make changes to forks and refit the bike with a stock / legal ECU. The changes throughout the weekend were not easy and the team worked hard with lots of support to get the job done. There were many firsts on this trip. It was the first time the team and rider participated in AMA Pro SuperSport competition, the first time the bike was set up on Dunlop tires and the first time James rode on Dunlop tires as well.

Supported by his Richie Alexander and Karl Steyrer-led crew, Yates brings his considerable experience to the fast Elkhart Lake track and will be looking for the podium once again. Yates is currently in seventh place in the Championship standings with 116 points.

“This weekend is going to be a bit different after Barber and Infineon,” said Yates. “Those tracks are both on the tighter end of the spectrum and now we are heading into the fast Road America track. I should be good. It's an old school raceway and it will give us a chance to show how quick our Jordan Suzuki GSX-R 1000 is.”

National Guard Jordan Suzuki #54

Road America is a really fast track and it's our home round. I can't wait to get my National Guard Jordan Suzuki opened up on Friday.”
