the final lap to be four seconds

(Mesa 37 Racing Kawasaki) did
not visit the MotoAmerica Stock
1000 podium, finishing fourth.
He bested Travis Wyman (Weir
Everywhere Racing BMW).
In the championship, Lee is
23 points up on Mesa, 149 to

TWINS CUP
The Twins Cup championship
is wide open after perennial
series leader and pole sitter Mi-
chael Barnes (Quarterly Racing
Ducati) suffered a motor break-
down at Sonoma while battling
for the lead with eventual race
winner Alex Dumas (Roadrac-
ing World Young Guns Suzuki
SV650).
Barnes' retirement signaled
title gold for not just Dumas but
Draik Beauchamp (AP Moto-
Arts) and current number one
Chris Parrish (Ghetto Customs
Suzuki). However, the latter was
unable to take advantage of the
situation as he crashed out, leav-
ing a possible 20 points on the
table for second as Dumas had
disappeared into the distance.
Beauchamp took second at
Sonoma, holding off the ad-
vances of Dumas' teammate,
first-time podium finisher Joseph
Blasius. Kris Turner (RiderzLaw
Racing Suzuki) took fourth
ahead of Jason Madama (Con-
quest CBD/RiderzLaw Racing
Yamaha).
In the series, Beauchamp
leads on 108 to 107 for Dumas,
with Barnes dropping to third on
106. CN
Alex Dumas (16) heads for the Twins Cup win, while
Michael Barnes (111) heads for a mechanical DNF. The
championship is now wide open heading to Pittsburgh.
