Alton, VA-  Jessica Zalusky wrapped up a successful weekend at Virginia International Raceway, August 15-17, for the ninth round of the AMA Superbike Championship, racing in both Formula Xtreme and Supersport.

Zalusky qualified for both Formula Xtreme in drying conditions and Supersport with a best time of 1:34.244 aboard her Dunlop shod, Yamaha YZF-R6.   

In the Formula Xtreme race, Zalusky almost collided with another rider who lost control of his bike on the start and lost some ground on her competitors.  Zalusky had tried to close the gap and finished respectively in 23rd position.

In the Supersport race, Zalusky finished 29th.  “I really wanted to do well at VIR and missed my opportunity in FX when I could have finished higher.  I am content with both finishes, but am looking forward to improving upon my finishes.  I’ve had the best time of my career racing the Yamaha YZF-R6, it is so fast and rides and handles like a dream,” Zalusky stated following the race.

Following Virginia, Jessica will be a guest rider at an exciting trackday promotion held on August 20-21 and September 2-3 at Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota.  Yamaha and supporting Brainerd/Twin Cities area dealers have put together these events with NESBA and Brainerd International Raceway.

Next on the AMA schedule for Zalusky is the last round for the season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, September 27-28.

Zalusky would like to thank her sponsors, crew, fans and supporters.  If you would like more information on Jessica Zalusky, visit www.roadracinggirl.com
