Newly crowned three-time MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Champion Andrew Lee and his OrangeCat Racing teammate Jayson Uribe stayed in Texas following the MotoAmerica weekend to test Superbike parts on their BMW M 1000 RRs in advance of the team’s Superbike debut at New Jersey Motorsports Park, September 26-28.
“We got two partial days of testing,” Lee said. “We don’t have full Superbikes, we just have swingarms, a shock, some triple clamps, and headstock adjustments. I’m not sure what they tested on Jayson’s (Uribe) side of the garage, but we just kind of worked on swingarm angle to develop more of a feel that way. Going into New Jersey, I think that’s pretty important.”
Lee wasn’t giving lap times, but he sounded confident that the OrangeCat Racing pair would have a competitive package for the series finale.
“We had some competitive lap times. Jay (Uribe) went a little bit quicker than I did. He got up to speed a little quicker than I did, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some top fives (finishes) from one of us, so it should be some fun in New Jersey.”
Lee finished fourth in both races at Circuit of The Americas and that earned him the 2025 MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Championship by two points over JD Beach. Lee’s teammate Uribe ended up third in the championship.
Lee won his previous Stock 1000 titles in 2018 and 2019.
