Eli Block Wins the Junior Cup Race Both Days at New Jersey Motosports Park
Team ECB/Bartcon Racing Kawasaki's Eli Block had an outstanding weekend, achieving victory in both Junior Cup races at New Jersey Motorsports Park during only his second MotoAmerica race weekend this season.
Block secured the win with a 2.786-second lead over Levi Badie from Badie Racing Kawasaki. Badie overcame a fierce last-lap competition against Yandel Medina, who secured the third position riding his Top Pro Motorsports Kawasaki, while Logan Monk from MonkMoto Kawasaki finished in fourth place.
Eli Block
“Conditions were definitely a lot different today. I didn’t get the start I had yesterday, so I passed one at a time. I got up there and then I set a cruise control pace. Then I looked at my pit board, I saw I had a little bit of a gap. Then I looked back, and I saw these two just charging. I amped up the pace. I started dropping I think I dropped about five seconds from that cruise control pace. These guys were pushing me like crazy. So, props to both of these guys. We were riding here a few weeks ago and they were pushing me, and they did the same thing this weekend. So, conditions were a lot different. I don't know what these Twins Cup riders are going to do. It’s really hard for them, because most of the track is dry but there’s some patches out there that are really slick. So, you never know what they’re going to do. I’d like to thank everyone that helped me this weekend. This was an amazing weekend. Couldn’t ask for anything better."

“ We have made a lot of progress since I came back to racing from my shoulder injury earlier this year and we almost earned another podium tonight. It’s tough when you don’t get a start at the very front in the East/West Showdown races because it’s so competitive in the class. I had good speed and kept pushing to the end but couldn’t quite close the gap. Next we go to the Pro Motocross season and will be ready to fight for the championship.”
Carson Mumford
"I was unfortunately toward the back from the start and really had my work cut out for me to earn a top-10. With the East/West Showdown format, there are just so many good guys out there that you have to be on point the whole way through. I think we’ve made good progress as a group and, even though I joined the team a little behind the eight ball, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in this short time. I’m super grateful to the whole Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki squad and, as my butt patch said, this has been a ‘Dream Job’ for me.”
Chris Blose
“I was in the mix for the early portion of the race but just fell back toward the end. It wasn’t my best night of the season, but there are still plenty of positives to highlight from this year as a whole. It’s been great to race with the support of the Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team and I’m really thankful to Mitch [Payton] for this opportunity. I only had a few days on the bike before we started racing and still, we managed to finish in the top-five of 250SX East points. That sort of progress doesn’t come without a lot of effort and sacrifice so, a big shoutout to the whole crew for always going the extra mile and backing me completely.”
