Michelin Crowns U.S. Motorcycle Grand Champions At Barber Motorsports Park

Michelin crowned nine Grand Champions and handed out $87,500 in purse, bonuses and trophies to racers Sunday, the rain-affected second day of the Michelin U.S. Motorcycle Championship at Barber Motorsports Park, in Birmingham, Alabama.

Butler Machinery’s Robert Jensen had a less-than-perfect afternoon, but a win in the Supersport Pro race and a second place (after crashing and being saved by a red flag) in the Superstock Pro race gave the North Dakota resident the Grand Championship in each class and a total of $14,000 in purse and bonuses.
