NASA Northeast racer — and 2023 Super Touring 5 National Champion — Nicholas Barbato patiently stalks Frank Millan just ahead in the closing laps of the June 3 race on the Thunderbolt course at New Jersey Motorsports Park. For this week’s Yokohama Move of the Month, Barbato tried to get around Millan in Turn 1 on the penultimate lap, but Millan made an effective defensive move that prevented the pass. Then, on the last lap, an out-of-class car presented an opportunity and Barbato pounced, making the pass on Millan in one of the last turns on the track before the long sprint down the front straightaway to the Start/Finish line.
