The other North American superbike championship is winding down north of the border. Saskatoon’s 17 year old wunderkind, Brett McCormick, was leading the Canadian Superbike Championship early in the year, but 3-time champion Jordan Szoke took over midway through the season. McCormick won his third race of the season last weekend at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Nova Scotia, and with just one race left on the schedule Szoke’s lead over McCormick has been cut to 14 points. With the exception of one race when McCormick finished in eighth the two riders have finished either first or second in every race this season. If that trend continues it will be difficult for McCormick to win the championship. The race winner receives 50 points and a second place finish earns 42 points.McCormick also won the Pro Sport Bike race in Nova Scotia, but he trails Szoke by 16 points in that championship. The final round of the season will be held at Shannonville in Ontario the weekend of September 6th.
