Beach Hears a Blubber: Buffalo Chip TT Results
Yeeow, sounds like it was a thrilling Buffalo Chip TT last night, right down to the last corner, wherein JD Beach slipped past teammate Jake Johnson for the win. Further back, the wily Jared Mees settled for a third place finish after series points leader Briar Bauman crashed out of the race ? closing the points gap to just 12 as the 2019 AFT series enters the second half of the season tomorrow night at the Black Hills Half-Mile in aptly named Rapid City, S.D.
AFT Press Release:
STURGIS, S.D. (August 4, 2019) ? JD Beach (No. 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) blasted past teammate Jake Johnson (No. 5 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) just a few feet short of the checkered flag to steal away a most improbable victory in Sunday night?s wild American Flat Track premier class showdown at the Buffalo Chip TT presented by Indian Motorcycle in Sturgis, S.D. Until the very final moments, Johnson seemed all but assured of taking back-to-back AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines triumphs at the Buffalo Chip. The TT standout grabbed the holeshot and quickly broke free at the front while a four-rider fight for second took shape involving Jarod Vanderkooi (No. 20 Harley-Davidson Factory Flat Track Team XG750R Rev X), Jared Mees (No. 1 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750), Bronson Bauman (No. 37 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) and Beach.
Passing opportunities proved few and far between as the riders negotiated the purpose-built TT circuit ...
