Zac Levy may have won both final round YMF R3 Cup races at SMSP, but it was Hunter Ford who clinched the championship with a couple of consistent finishes.

Ford was running second in Race 2 behind Levy when the race was red-flagged and declared due to oil on the circuit. The only rider capable of challenging Ford for the title, John Lytras finished third to keep his slender hopes alive.

Levy took the win in Race 3 by just 0.002s from Lytras, with Max Stauffer just 0.1s away from the win. Ford finished in eighth position after a conservative performance, but it was enough for the Newcastle rider to win the title.
“I knew I only had to finish in the top 17 to win the title – winning the race would have been nice, but it’s been a good season,” said Ford, who became the first rider to win back-to-back YMF R3 Cup titles. – Report from MA.
