"It's been the worst race of the year, talk-
ing about rhythm, about being relaxed
and not breathing," Toni Elias said a er
race two. "It was so difficult. For the last
five laps, I was behind Cameron. I was fol-
lowing him, but today was good enough
to win. I think if I was leading the race on
the last lap with him, he could pass me
easily any me he wanted. So, I've been
lucky. Today I've been super lucky. We
pass two difficult (tracks) for us—Sonoma
and this one. But we win, so that's great.
I didn't expect this. It's too early (in the
championship). We keep the same advan-
tage, so let's con nue like this."

1-1 SUPERSPORT
"I can't believe how much pain he was
dealing with," Sean Dylan Kelly said of
teammate Bobby Fong at the end of
race two. "I saw him yesterday a er his
crash, and I saw this morning how much
pain he was in. Just huge respect, dude,
100 percent. I'm glad that we were able
to get the 1-2 for the M4 ECSTAR Suzuki
team. Of course, I'm super pumped for
myself and for my family and for every-
one around me who helped me get this
double-win weekend. It's s ll kind of hard
to take it in. Obviously, I think tonight I'll
be able to take it in a li le bit. I just hope
