Auto Club Speedway Race 2 has Vesrah Suzuki Riders Finishing in 7th and 8th Place

Fontana, CA (March 29, 2010) - Vesrah Suzuki concluded the Auto Club Speedway AMA Pro Racing weekend in Fontana, CA with a 7th place finish for Cory West and 8th place for Chris Fillmore. The team tested some changes in morning warm up that seemed promising for the races later that day but still had some grip issues with the Dunlop tires during the race this afternoon. Vesrah Suzuki heads to the next round at Road Atlanta with Cory in 5th place in the season points and Chris in 10th place and looking to move both riders higher up in the standings. Also look for an announcement on a special project the team is undertaking at the Road Atlanta round.

Mark Junge – “The team is adjusting to the spec Dunlop tires required in the Daytona Sportbike class but needs more time on them to figure out what makes them work the best. The team will be testing before the Road Atlanta round and I look forward to seeing what we can do after having some time on these tires.”

Cory West – "Today’s race was a little harder than yesterdays. I did not get the best of starts and touched wheels with someone in turn 3 and got stood up” said Cory. “I did manage to get with the lead group but I had rear grip issues throughout the entire race. We made some changes to the bike after yesterdays race that made the bike handle better, but I just could not get the rear tire to hook up on corner exits although I am happy about my lap times. I had faster lap times throughout the whole race and the gap between the leaders and myself was much closer today. We will take these points and head on to Road Atlanta with the goal of getting to the front. Thanks to Tony, Bruce and the whole Vesrah Suzuki team for a good weekend."

Chris Fillmore - "I really needed to use today’s warm up as a test on some setting changes we made after race 1 but we had an issue which limited my time on track getting up to speed and getting a proper test in. My goal was to stay with the lead group off of the start and see how long I could hang on to them but that did not go to plan as I had issues with the front end from the beginning of the race. Eighth place is okay for my first weekend back and with a new motorcycle. I look forward to getting some seat time and testing before we head to Road Atlanta. I know we have a lot of work to do to get to the front but I am confident that the team can provide what I need to get there."
