Storytime from Springfield 🏁
We definitely had to find the good in the bad this weekend but Jonny had a blast riding this iconic track, showed incredible grit, and walked away with a ton of valuable lessons learned.
It’s no secret that short-tracks aren’t Jon’s favorite gig—stalling on the line on his KTM 65 in both 65cc and Mini Open set him back right out of the gate, forcing him to work hard to climb back up through the field. In the 85cc class, he struggled to keep pace with the big kids and missed the main, but made obvious progress with every lap. Instead of letting a tough start define the day, he put his head down, dug deep, and turned it all the way up 💪
65cc: P4
Mini Open: P2
TT started off with confidence sky-high! Huge thanks to the Bitz-Hays for "adding some new tools to Jon's toolbox" and helping him get his starts dialed in 🤙 During 85cc qualifying, Jonny took a spill and got banged up, but there was zero quit in him and he was determined to see the rest of the day through. We are so grateful for everyone in the pit family who checked in on him and kept his spirits up. He ended the night on a high note, nailing his starts and pulling holeshots 🏁
65cc: P3
Mini Open: P2
85cc: P12
Racing isn't always smooth sailing, but Jon showed a lot of heart this weekend and we're always proud of his determination 🫶 Huge thanks to Cory Texter Promotions & Jared Mees Racing for putting together another awesome event, to our friends and race fam in the pits, and all of our great sponsors who support Jonny's journey 🏍️💨
