Three drivers entered the SKUSA Pro Tour finale with a shot at the S2 Semi-Pro Stock Moto title, presented by Mary Crowley Cancer Research Center. Ryan Kinnear, Christian Schureman and Garrett Boone were within 13 points of each other when factoring in the drop race after four rounds, putting even more pressure on the drivers going into the SuperNationals. Kinnear and Schureman established themselves as the title contenders through the heat races, with Schureman holding the advantage as both started the main event on SuperSunday inside the top-five. Each fought for the lead before Kinnear put himself in the top spot and looked to be able to pull away. That was until a mechanical issue slowed his pace and eventually put him on the sideline. That opened the door for Schureman, who cruised to a runner-up finish and secured the championship. Boone had a solid performance in the main event, earning fast lap honors en route to an eighth place finish, jumping up to second in the standings as Kinnear fell to third.
It was a solid 2013 season for Jordon Musser, en route to the S4 Master Stock Moto title – presented by Honda Racing/HPD. Musser led by 115 points over veteran Curtis Cooksey and Brian Fisher with the SuperNationals left to decide the final standings. Musser stepped up, placing second, first and first in his heat races to lock up the title going into SuperSunday. Then he capped off the year by earning a runner-up in the main event. Fisher would leap Cooksey for the second position, placing third in the feature while Cooksey recorded a DNF.
It was a dramatic finish to the season in TaG Master, presented by Italcorse America. Scott Falcone was able to earn the championship after dodging a few contenders in the final stages of the Pro Tour. Paul Bonilla entered the SuperNationals as the lead challenger to Falcone, but the championship leader responded under pressure. Earning the top qualifier bonus points, Falcone padded his point lead with a heat win, and two more top-10 finishes going into the main event. The TaG Master feature race saw intense racing, with Falcone falling victim to contact and retiring early in the 28th position. This opened the door for one driver – Brian McHattie – who was third in the standings and was in position to steal the championship with the win. It would not be for McHattie, who ran out of time trying to run down the leaders. Falcone would secure the championship, the first of his career, becoming the fourth different champion in the four years of the Pro Tour. Bonilla would end up second in the chase, with Chuck Gafrarar sliding up to third for a second straight year.
Very impressive year for both drivers! They both worked very hard to achieve their goals and sure made Colorado proud!
