AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike

GEICO Suzuki’s Martin Cardenas won the Saturday AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike race at Infineon Raceway. Cardenas had a race-long battle with Jason DiSalvo (Castrol Latus Motors Triumph) around the 2.32-mile circuit. Cardenas won his 20th career AMA Pro victory with a move in Carrousel to pass DiSalvo and the Colombian made it stick the last lap and a half. Cardenas said he wasn’t planning to pass there, but he took full advantage of an opportunity.

“Today was a tough race,” said Cardenas. “I made a good start and made my way up. Jason and I exchanged positions quite a lot. I passed Jason and pushed and got a little gap, enough for a win.”

The two touched on course at least once, but DiSalvo said he enjoyed the battles. “That race was like riding dirt bikes in your back yard with your buddy,” said DiSalvo. “We knew the race was going to come down to the end.”

Cameron Beaubier (Y.E.S. Graves Yamaha) ran well in his first race back since injury. Beaubier even led both starts of the red-flagged race. “I fell off their pace a little bit and the last six laps, I was just trying to get to the checkered flag,” he said.

Dane Westby (M4 Suzuki) showed fine form to get fourth, ahead of Tommy Hayden (Y.E.S Graves Yamaha.)

Castrol Triumph’s Dustin Dominguez watched James Rispoli and Jake Lewis put on a show in front of him at Road Atlanta, but Dominguez was the man in race one at Infineon Roaceway on Saturday. Dominguez won the 18-lap race by 0.170, but pulled away from his rivals in the last few laps.

“I felt pretty good the whole race, and just maintained the lead,” said Dominguez after his strong performance. “I knew James was back there and felt I had more left in case we started racing.”

Rispoli (Orient Express Celtic Racing) and Lewis (Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki) battled once again, with second in jeopardy until the checkered flag. Rispoli, the West points leader

Early race leader Tomas Puerta (RoadRace Factory/Red Bull) earned fourth.

The race was red-flagged due to a crash involving Hayden Gillim and Cameron Gish. Gillim was able to re-start and charge from last to 10th.
