Jason Anderson reversed a five-race slump, where he found the podium only once, by claiming a victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Anderson bolstered his hold on P2 in the standings, where Anderson now leads Justin Barcia by 15 points with three rounds remaining. Eli Tomac finished second, cutting Tomac’s lead over Anderson to a still-substantial 53 points. If Tomac beats Anderson and finishes in the Top 10 in Foxborough next week, Tomac clinches the 2022 AMA Monster Energy Championship with two rounds remaining.Anderson led from the third lap to the finish of the 15-lap Main Event. Barcia grabbed the holeshot but was headed by Chase Sexton on the second lap. On lap 3, Sexton went down, and Anderson inherited the lead for good. Anderson was never challenged, with his lead extending to over eight seconds for most of the race’s second half. Sexton dropped to P6 before recovering to take the final podium spot, while Barcia crashed later and had to settle for P6.
Returning from practice crash injuries, defending champion Cooper Webb took P4, with Malcolm Stewart rounding out the Top 5. Last week’s winner, Marvin Musquin, crashed early and clawed to P10 after dropping to P21.The next round at Foxborough is another day race, though inside Gillette Stadium, so it will be a more traditional supercross track.

This Podcast is also brought to you by the new modular helmet from Schuberth, the C5. The C5 blends safety with light weight and amazing quietness. Visit Schuberth.com for more information.
This week, in the first segment Editor Don Williams talks to us about the new Kawasaki Versys 650 LT. It’s the middleweight ADV style machine that uses the same 650 parallel twin motor as the Ninja 650, so it’s an excellent performer in a user-friendly, good looking package.
In the second segment, I chat with one of my dearest industry friends—now retired Honda PR executive, Jon Seidel. Jon’s fascinating career spans some 30 years with Big Red, and gave him some great experiences with some incredible machines. I was fortunate enough to be invited on many of the press launches that he organized. His new project is documenting and saving many of the old archives from years gone by—and incidentally, if you have anything that may be of value to the project, please contact us by email at producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com and we’ll pass it all on to Jon.
So on that note, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
