VIP All Access with Bobby Fong
Greetings, New Jersey VIP Superfan! Even the Nor’easter that Mother Nature brought our way could not dampen the spirits of our New Jersey Motorsports Park Superfans. While our paddock adventures were limited by the weather, the entertainment simply moved indoors. Racers and MotoAmerica staff stopped by throughout the weekend to share stories about their roles in the sport, answer questions, and explain what can and cannot be done when track conditions prevent the bikes from taking to the circuit. With the Quad Lock Superbike Championship still undecided, MotoAmerica’s primary focus was ensuring that the final three championship races were completed, rain or shine. Thanks to an improved weather forecast on Saturday, two additional races were added to the schedule. Once the track became race-ready, several revised schedules were implemented, including a “Quick Start” procedure for all classes. While this eliminated the traditional VIP pre-grid activities on both Saturday and Sunday, it certainly did not reduce the excitement on the track. Four riders entered the weekend with a mathematical chance of capturing the prestigious Quad Lock Superbike Championship. Setting the pace in both Race 1 and Race 2 was Bobby Fong aboard his Yamaha YZF R1. By winning both races, he closed the championship gap to just two points behind series leader Sean Dylan Kelly and his BMW M 1000 RR heading into Sunday’s season finale. Sunday brought more rain, more schedule revisions, and plenty of indoor entertainment as everyone waited for the weather to cooperate. Finally, after a break in the storms, the final Superbike race was ready to go. With rain still falling, Bobby Fong once again demonstrated his mastery in wet conditions, setting a relentless pace while the rest of the field battled simply to keep their machines upright.

Unfortunately for Sean Dylan Kelly, his championship bid came to an early end after an off-track excursion that left him unable to continue. Meanwhile, Fong remained focused and composed, ultimately securing his first MotoAmerica Superbike Championship for both himself and the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Team. So, who else could grace our cover but the 2026 Quad Lock MotoAmerica Superbike Champion, Bobby Fong? Congratulations to Bobby and the entire Progressive Attack performance Yamaha team on a well-deserved championship season! As exciting as our previous VIP Privateer Support selections were, our final recipient came from the Talent Cup class. After qualifying eighth, Bandit Landers quickly won over everyone she met with her engaging personality and inspiring story. Over the course of two days, our “captured” VIPs enjoyed a variety of memorable experiences and special auction items, with enthusiastic bidding supporting a worthy cause. At the conclusion of the festivities, a surprised Bandit was presented with a check and envelope totaling $4,000. Yes, I wish the sun had shone on us in New Jersey. However, with such an incredible group of VIPs, intense racing, and outstanding guest speakers, I could not have asked for a better way to end the season. Thank you to everyone who attended NJMP or joined us at any of our other Championship rounds this year. It has been a phenomenal season. I truly appreciate your support, enthusiasm, and friendship throughout the year, and I look forward to seeing many of you again in 2027! Best Regards, Ron “Slicer” Heben

New Jersey Superfans Don’t Disappoint!
Bandit Landers
New Jersey Motorsports Park roared with energy as the MotoAmerica VIP Superfans delivered an unforgettable wave of support for MotoAmerica Talent Cup privateer racer Bandit Landers during the MotoAmerica Superbikes at New Jersey season finale. The weekend’s randomly selected qualifying position — eighth — proved to be the lucky number for the 17-year-old, instantly making her the focus of the VIP Privateer Program’s generosity and enthusiasm. Landers comes from a prominent family of dedicated racers, following in the tire tracks of her father, Stoney, and her older brother, Rocco Landers. Competing under the Jones Honda Powerhouse banner, Bandit pilots the No. 17 Krämer APX-350 MA machine in the highly competitive Talent Cup class.

place on Saturday, she visited the track’s VIP suite to discuss her career-best result of the 2026 season. Little did she know, a massive VIP effort was waiting for her. The weekend’s fundraising was supercharged by Mission King Of The Baggers stars Tyler O’Hara and Kyle Wyman, who stepped up as guest auctioneers. The crowd bid generously on racing memorabilia, exclusive VIP hats, and special action photography donated by Geoff and Barb Nickless. Driven by the significant contributions of VIPs Bob McKenna an Joey Bones, Landers was presented with a check and envelope totaling $4,000 to fuel her privateer racing journey. The challenge was to exceed over $25,000 in donations for the 2026 season,” said Ron Heben, MotoAmerica VIP Superfan Director. “Rain or shine, our VIPs are so generous. I can’t wait to see how we can build on this to benefit our MotoAmerica Privateers in 2027. Thank you to everyone; you certainly made a difference.” Bandit Landers utilized her eighthplace qualifying spot and a brilliant Saturday performance to secure a career-best sixth-place finish at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

“What an awesome surprise! When I went up to the VIP Superfan interview, I thought we were only doing a nice interview with the fans. So it was a truly crazy and amazing surprise to get such a helpful donation to our racing program! “I cannot thank everybody involved enough! Ron Heben, Kathy Price, VP Racing fuels, MotoAmerica, the auctioneers and the whole VIP crew and superfans!I am so grateful to be part of such a helpful program. “This year has been such a fun and crazy ride with Jones Honda Powerhouse, Darrell (Jones), Cameron (Jones), my dad, my brothers and sister. All While my mom (Jamie) covered the farm so we could be gone. Watching my brother (Rocco) grow up racing as a privateer and then becoming one myself, I know
how challenging it is to travel all across the country to race. “As everyone knows, it is not the cheapest sport and every bit of help counts. I am so pumped to put it towards training, practice and some gear I have been needing. I intend to give it everything I’ve got and come back stronger and faster. “I appreciate all of you benevolent contributors, your help will make a big difference. I will never forget this!” With the 2026 racing calendar drawing to a dramatic close in New Jersey, the VIP Privateer Program successfully met its milestone goals — a phenomenal testament to the unmatched passion, community spirit, and generosity of the MotoAmerica VIP Superfans.
