In the sixth and penultimate round of the season, held in Virginia, the 16-year-old talent racing for team Robem Engineering proved fast and competitive aboard his Aprilia RS 660 right from Friday. On Saturday, the American confirmed the strong pace shown in practice by first taking pole position with a new lap record (1:29.420) and then winning Race 1, thereby securing the national title three races early. Vossberg completed the sweep in Race 2, wrapping up the weekend with an incredible double victory.

HANK VOSSBERG: “It’s truly incredible. I never thought I’d win the championship this early. A few circumstances certainly helped me, but the team has done a brilliant job, and the Aprilia RS 660 has performed really well. As for the final round in New Jersey, I just want to enjoy myself.”
