Max Stauffer wins second SS 300 nail-biter

2019 ASBK
Round One – Phillip Island
Supersport 300 Race Two


Max Stauffer and Luke Power had dominated the weekend’s opening Supersport 300 race and it was again this pair of youngsters that got away best early on in Saturday afternoon’s second bout as Seth Crump and John Lytras gave chase.

As the race broached the halfway point Hunter Ford went down while in the leading group.  Senna Agius was in the lead from Power and Stauffer and it looked as though it would be this trio that were going to battle it out for the podium positions.

Harry Khouri, Callum O’Brien and John Lytras had other ideas though! The battle for the lead became a six-way affair with two laps to run and it was on! Half-a-second covered that sextet and they were swapping order with reckless abandon.

At the flag though it was once again Max Stauffer that had the smarts and the skills to take the win. John Lytras second and Callum O’Brien third. Two-tenths of a second covered the entire top six at the line….
