DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 30, 2015) – GNC2 rider Jesse Janisch was invited into the FansChoice.tv production booth to participate in the AMA Pro Flat Track Pre-Race show during the Peoria TT last Aug. 16, 2015, because he typically runs well at the Midwest venue and AMA Pro Racing officials thought that he would be a good candidate to make an appearance on the broadcast.

During the Pre-Race show, which is hosted by AMA Pro Flat Track play-by-play announcer Scottie Deubler and seven-time Grand National Champion and color commentator Chris Carr, Janisch was informed that the winner of the Peoria TT GNC2 main event would get an automatic bid to compete in the inaugural Superprestigio of the Americas on Nov. 21, 2015 at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Later on that day, Janisch won the Peoria TT GNC2 main event by a mere .038 seconds over eventual GNC2 champion Davis Fisher, and with the win, the Wisconsin native had just punched his ticket to the Superprestigio of the Americas.

“Pure excitement was going through my mind once I found out that the winner of the Peoria TT would get an invitation to compete in the Superprestigio of the Americas,” said Janisch. “It was a little more incentive for me during the race, that’s for sure. I entered Peoria with the intentions of winning it to begin with, but hearing that news made me want the victory so much more.”

Janisch will compete aboard the No. 32L Hart Racing Kawasaki EX450F at the Flat Track Finale on Nov. 20 and again at the Superprestigio of the Americas on Nov. 21.

“I’m very fortunate to be able to race for James Hart in Las Vegas,” said Janisch. “It’s going to be cool to be able to represent his sponsors as well as my own. I can’t thank all of the people who’ve helped me along the way to get this point, including the people who helped me race at Peoria, I would not have been have this incredible opportunity if it weren’t for all of them.”

The Superprestigio of the Americas (SOTA’15) will bring together leading motorcycle racers from various motorcycle-racing disciplines from around the world to compete head to head with the stars of AMA Pro Flat Track on a specially-designed indoor short track at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 21, 2015. The special race is part of the big Las Vegas doubleheader weekend with the AMA Pro Flat Track finale taking place the night before Nov. 20, 2015 on the same track.
